Hey all... been too busy and too out of space to be doing much with my arcade as of late... but i couldn't pass up on a couple games from another collector making space... so i'll probably flip the Millipede as i already have one... but i got a Space Fury and a Q*Bert that i'll be hanging on to (and getting rid of some old stagnant projects to make room)...
i'll do another thread for the Space Fury, but here's the Q*Bert as i got it... some moisture damage around the edges, sideart is cut and cabinet could be in better shape... looks like new CPOs that look great, don't know if they are NOS or repro... bezel is near perfect, and header is pretty good... the monitor looks great...
but its not all good... some major hacking to the sound board and a non-factory but still gottlieb power supply... summing to the game running but flaky, no voice (but a "wind" sound when there should be speech) and no knocker...
but it gets better, as i also got the extra main board, sound board, and power supply (original from the cabinet, burned up) along with it... i'm just starting to read about this system, tips and tricks, etc... but i don't have 30v anywhere, but the sound amp was hacked with a different one (possibly a 12v one?) so that would possibly explain the functioning sound amp, but no speech or knocker...
anyway, a nice score, these never seem to come up... my plan is to rebuild the original power supply and if i can get that going, try to fix the hacked up wiring back to original...
