Me and Divingbuddy were finally able to go back to the guy that had all those arcade games in his Semi truck trailer which we posted a thread on here:

Which we will update here soon with plenty of pics from our trip there,and what all we picked up.

It is a Qix conversion to Zookeeper,The glass marquee and glass monitor bezel are in pristine condition!!! Not easy to find ones in this good of shape.The control panel overlay is in ok condition but needs to be replaced.All boards,wiring and original power supply(I have the conversion switcher for that) are present but it is missing the monitor but i have a spare G07 ill be putting in there.Also the coin PCB is present.(I do have the rom patch for that),Game was extremely dirty when i picked it up,when i got it home i did a quick clean up on it to see how the marquee,CPO,and bezel looked.

I have not powered it up yet,going to clean the inside real good and also do the battery mod on the PCB,It has some acid damage on the board but not to bad,ill clean that up and get the new baterry in there soon.Here are some Pics of the game,very happy with this pickup.

Agreed! Awesome pickup. Be sure to use LEDs behind the glass pieces to preserve that awesome artwork.

Can't wait to see what else you grabbed. Anything going to be for sale?

Yes i will be getting LED's for it...For right now we wont have nothing for sale,we still have several more trips to make,had an ATV trailer so couldnt fit much on it.We did get alot of pics of the contents of the trailer and will post pics so you can see what is in there.
 
A few more pics,Also the manuals were in the bottom of the cab...

Maybe it's just how the pic appears but, the cab front looks like light blue around coin door area like if the front piece is from an Alpine Ski & the side colors Qix, still awesome pickup.
 
Have a few more pics to upload but it wont let me for some reason,keeps saying Internal Server Error.... :(

Yeah, that definitely is weird.... don't think I've ever come across a cab like that.

Yeah,it does look like its a light blue,maybe its the flash on my camera doing that.Ill have to get a closer look at it.It was definatly a Qix before.
 
The marquee and bezel look great! Hopefully the board set will fire right up. Are you keeping the PS original or will you use an ATX?

I have an arcadeshops switcher with the adaptor that ill probably use but the original power supply will stay in the game.
