guy had it on craigslist as non working for $150 about a week ago.
I emailed him saying I would give him $40 for it if nobody wanted it.
A week goes by and he says he will take $50.

I can't make it happen for a few days and he gets a little skirmish so he calls me last ngiht and says he will take $40.

I get it home and it needs 2 fuses replaces and 1 in the power brick tightened.
voila, it works.

needs a capkit, and no sound so far but I just started on it.

sure looks like a gottlieb game on the inside. looks eerily like a qbert internally.
 
Great score.
Pics?
Even though it's not a dedicated cab,does it have marquee an artwork?

Yie Ar Kung Fu was a great game, loved it and was able to kick ass even though beating the last boss doesn't always work out but sometimes I was lucky.

that was my next question, was it a dedicated game?
I mean it's a small cabinet and the first picture on klov concerning the game looks like the cab I have. It kind of comes to a point at the top and it's a very short game like qbert.

oh yeah it has the cpo and marquee. I would think this is dedicated unless they were just kits.
 
Its not a dedicated I saw it too! I can't believe all the stuff you've picked up recently. Be careful Dylan buying up every cheap CL game or your gonna be outta room quick and then find some stuff you really want and have no room! Trust me! Just droping u my opinion from someone who's been collecting a long time, even though I have a lot of games I only have games I like, played as a kid or are super rare and if its not dedicated I don't own it. No conversion garbage! Did you end up selling your pinball? I saw it up on CL for awhile, I thought you were super happy when u got that. Anyways not telling u how rto collect just dropping my 2cents. Enjoy ur new game.

TAFA shows no machine on the flyers so it might have been board only.

Joe said that it ain't a dedicated, is he saying yours or Yie Ar in general?
If Yie Ar in general then I think he is right.

What strikes me as odd though is that if my memory serves me right ,most Yie Ar cabs I seen were low cabs, had a marquee and cpo with a cp with one red balltop stick and red buttons.
Like the cab was made for the game??, A bit like Kung Fu Master but that was dedicated.

I'm puzled now????
 
Nice. I loved this game but suck at it. Couldn't ever get past like the 4th battle.
 
YAK ROCKS! :D

Yeah, never dedicated - conversion kit only. One of those games I'd like to dedicate a cab to someday if I ever had the room.
 
yeah joe I don't have that many games right now. I sold the defender and stargate to wolfeel, and sold both the qberts, sold the tempest as well.

I am just throwing it out there for the pin, I do like it, but it is a little easy for me. I really want a bulwinkle, so if I sell it I would use the funds towards a rocky and bulwinkle.

I was telling Dan this the other day, I have come to realize that I always want a project or 2 lying around. Definitely part of the hobby I like. I LOVE playing games, don't get me wrong, but I love working on these things too.

I will try to get pictures up tonite, but to expand on the cab.

It is the size of a qbert (roughly) but comes to a high top kind oflike a roadblasters.
When I look in the back of hte game, the powerbrick is similar to the qbert powerbrick, as well as the power board. Additionally all the connectors are labeled similar to qbert's with the a12j12, etc. curious. I mean this is not a qbert cab, but the same people made it in my opinion.
 
did gottlieb license this game from konami?

there is gottlieb screen burn in the middle of all the yie ar kung fu screen burn, and it is definitely a gottlieb style cab.
 
Nice score. I love this game and it is one of the most frequently played on my MAME machine (scratch-built).

For Blues, I stay right on top of him and jump around alot.
