Baby PacMan( have cpo and sideart, polish playfield etc..) all mechanicals gone thru and new monitor all done now)
Tempest caberet( has a bd problem I suspect, water damage on back of cab
Mk3 in capcom Z cab ( need cpo and cab is red laminate( thinkin of having cabinet airbrushed and cleared with mk artwork??)
Capcom Bowling( need to sand , stain and polyurethane cab, install monitor and find sideart)

Look's like your hands are full for the winter, Did you get a exact match for color for your Journey arcade? I Whould like to touch mine up in some spot's, I also purchased side art and control panel for mine but decided not to do the control panel because it doesn't really match the original i'm picky but might put up the sideart. sorry about your tape player not working I hope Rich at This old game get's that new replacement soon been waiting......................
 
Not sure if paint will be exact match but it should be real close....and im hoping for an option to replace the sound amp bd and tape player all together some day...
 
shoot-
Strike while the iron is HOT! If you keep seeing things that you'd like to have with good prices and locations, get 'em.

It's better to have too much stuff that to have remorse when things go dry for a while.

Now that's a big 'to-do' list...mine is much smaller thank goodness since I don't have any room in the game room to put them when they're done. My winter list is:

Stunt Cycle - b/w monitor rebuild and fix no-sound issue
Tank II - b/w monitor rebuild
280-Zaaap! - totaly dead, don't know what's in store for me with this one.

Oh, and my Joust (Multi-Williams) just took a dive on me last week.

Wish me luck

..although med res tubes are hard to find....

Ahh, you are in error unless you are trying to find a complete tube with yoke.

The APB chassis works perfect, you can do a tube swap if you move the yoke with the chassis into a tube with the correct neck size/pins (do not swap the alignment tabs, they stay with the tube!) Low or med res tubes are the same as I understand it, yoke and chassis are not.
Looks like it was done in the past as it has Galaga burn in the current tube.
Course you might just find a med-res monitor and sell the working chassis/yoke to cover part and not mess with swapping tubes.
But, just aligning the current tube would give pretty acceptable results! I've never done it, so didn't try.
 
I'm under the impression that low and medium res tubes are different. Anyone?

The APB I have has a low res Galaga tube, but still looks very fine in detail as a med res.
Everything I found regarding this was that a swap can be done only if the yoke is changed out too.

Maybe someone with more tech info??

Glad to see you got your hands on a Moon Patrol. Sorry I couldn't pick that one up for you in Kingsport. I know what you are talking about brother!!!! Short list, Two Sea Wolf to put back togeather, Indiana Jones T.O.D. apply side art and put togeather, Moon War to finish painting and stenciling, Karate Champ, redo side art, control panel,. And on, and on.
And just think, last week I got four free machines off of Craigslist........ What a sickness....
 
Wow something good on CL...I cant find a freakin thing on Craigslist....What did you grab for free...
I don't have the APB and Moon Patrol yet, just have deposits and trade deals worked out on them...Ill get them though..
 
The machines I picked up had all been converted to something else. The good news is all of the machines still have the original boards in them.
They are; Zaxxon, Track and Field, M.A.C.H. 3 (i'm glad I got this one because Andrew is working on my other one.) And the fourth one I still need to figure out what it is.
You need to come by and pay me a visit sometime......
 
Will do ..You are only 1.5 away...I may need to work out a deal with you on the T&F ..I have my cocktail sold and my upright was sold a while back.....Was thinkin of running both games in my hypersports cab but doubt ill get around to it.
