Guess I'm subtracting one from my WTB list! Just picked up a Track & Field and Circus Charlie. T&F cab needs some minor repairs, side art trashed by initials and CPO is shot and buttons need some help, but marquee is very nice and game plays very well. Only minor burn visible in original monitor. Already getting some good scores and haven't touched one of these in ages!

Charlie may have some sound and video issues, but haven't really looked into it yet. Could be connectors/seating, etc. Side art has been painted, but cabinet is in very good shape. CPO is sad, but marquee is nice. I'd have more pics, but my battery died.

Anybody have recommendations on side art and CPOs for either or both of these? sadly, the restos will be on hold for a bit. Knee surgery to repair badly torn meniscus will slow me down a bit.

Nice pick up. You don't see Circus Charlie very often. Dang the thing got trashed through the years though. To bad. It's gonna be tough to find art for CC. T&F won't be so hard.

I'm doing a Track and Field restore right now; thread is in the Restoration Showcase section. Mine was really beat up though, moreso than yours. I have a picture of the redone CP in said thread. Got the replacement CPO from quarterarcade.com. Very nice quality. Got sideart from Pheonix Arcade. Expensive, but looks great. Still waiting to install that though.
 
Yes! I saw your thread - part of what made me hop on this one. Thanks for posting. I actually checked out the Phoenix Arcade side art in anticipation of getting this. Glad to hear you feel it was worth the $. I checked QuarterArcade, too, but only saw a couple of marquees and beat up CPs - did you get the last CPO or do they have others? I just got my first bondo experience (practiced on a 60-in-1 cab) and found it pretty easy to work with - provided you get the hardener ratio down. I figured it couldn't be too hard - plenty of knuckleheads have been slappin that stuff on camaros for decades! Like I said, my resto will be on hold a while, but I'll be watching yours.
 
Oh, BTW - mine has the volume pot just inside the coin mech door, too, so I wonder if that was a factory thing?
 
Uh, that ain't your standard Track & Field cab. That looks like a painted Phoenix/Pleiades/Time Pilot cab, except the monitor is mounted in there just like a standard Track & Field. Very interesting. The sideart seems to be cut to fit. Did Konami make a conversion kit? I am confused.....

Your Phoenix T&F sideart won't fit right on there without some modifications.

I think someone had mentioned that they did make a kit version, but I'm not sure. I don't know how I missed the cab though; guess I looked at it too fast and the tiltled monitor threw me off.

I'd be careful and make sure that the CPO will fit right, Mupes. I guess you could always trim it though just like someone trimmed the sideart.
 
It's labeled s/n 18054. I had a Time Pilot - it's similar, but the monitor angle and speaker placement (dual) are different. Is it possible they put later versions in other Centuri cabs to keep up with production?

My t&f has the same cab style. It appears it's original as it has the serial number card stapled inside. Odd for sure but don't think it's a conversion. Any one else have one?
