After 5 years of searching I finally managed to bring a sit-down driver in to the Asshat Arcade...

Here is a shot of my wifes cousin and his two boys enjoying the gameroom...

The Rush the Rock Alcatraz Edition is in pretty decent shape physically. It's got a little corner damage at the top back behind the seat on both sides (typical of this machine it seems) and the T-Molding will need to be replaced (already bought and taken possession)...

...then there was a small problem of managing to break the tube neck... >sigh<

But when it was all done here she is. I am still toying with the voltages as I get a reset once in a while. Also, it's been upgraded to a CF reader rather than the hard drive. The monitor in it is a brand new Neo-Tec Tri-Res... and I am 95% happy with it... (still needs some slight adjustments, etc).

Finally... i need to build a new cardboard black-out bezel for it as the that came out of it was beat... and I need to replace the marquee as it's got a nasty crack/tear in it. I will also be repairing the corners with bondo and replacing the T-Molding. Last night I built a cardboard "funnel" for the angled fan in the back to draw air from the outside. I also replaced the noisy fan in it with a much less noisy but just as effective fan. Finally, I need to look in to the type of bulb needed to replace a couple in the control panel buttons.

Nice to see that you got it up and running, now you need another :)

Yes... I do... badly...

Anyone know if I need to find the exact version I have, etc (are there multiple versions of Rush The Rock Alcatraz Edition? Mine has a 1.0 label if I remember.).
 
What fan did you use, I need one for mine. Also where are you going to get a new marquee, I need one of them too.


I picked up a few 120v 120MM fans from Mouser or Digikey a couple years back (5 or 6 of them)... this is one of them. Radio Shack also sells a nice 120v fan but it's expensive as all hell.

So far my only decent option for a new marquee is gameongrafix.com... I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
