Missile Command DECON 1

This is coming along nicely! I'm waiting on side art as well for my rebuild, it's the last thing other than a rejuv for the monitor.
Cool marquee, but that splotch on Gorbochov's head is pretty pronounced, lol. I wish they would have made the backlight go across the entire panel. It looks too small to me with the speaker blocks covering off the ends.

Looks like the 6.3v fuse is actually mounted to the floor, thanks for sharing that pic as I was wondering about it - mine is loose.

It looks like you are missing the clear monitor cover with printing like "player 1" and "alpha base". Are you going to get that ? I think someone was reproducing them (maybe TOG)?

And that fresh control panel looks amazing! Nice work.
 
I do have side art coming from TOG, they are supposedly wrapping up the printing of it, so hopefully in a week or 2.
I ordered in November, was told mine would print in early December and would ship shortly thereafter. I'm still waiting. I think their product quality is known to be good but turnaround is a bit slow.

I have my game pulled out and waiting … probably just should push it back into the row so I don't see the missing side art and get my floor space back. 😄
 
Thanks! I actually need to get both the tinted and the clear plexi, my tinted accidentally got over sprayed with goof off, and its FUBAR. I have both pieces ordered from TOG, but that may take awhile. I havent got any notification on the sideart shipping. I got the invoice and paid, but nothing after that.
 
Little progress, got the trackball rebuilt, smooth as butter! Had to send the pcb out for repair, sideart has been shipped from TOG, and talked to Kendra about the bezel. They have the tinted in stock and the clear glass is in que to be printed😁 Hopefully this project will be wrapping up soon.
 
Sideart is in, and pcb has been repaired (Thanks Lilypad19!) Ran into a +12v issue where the voltage would drop to +3 with the pcb connected and not allow it to boot. It ended up being a pin that had pushed itself out of the molex connecting the harness to the brick. Once i found that (with the help of some awesome KLOV members here) she sprang to life! Now if i can just find time to get the sideart on, all i will need to have it completely done is the new bezels from TOG :)

I also opted for the aluminum button cones, I think they really pop on a black cp.
 
Also wanted to give a shout out to all the awesome guys who sold me the bits and pieces to bring ser# 00098 back to life! You guys ROCK!:headbang:

The sideart is from TOG and is a quality piece, however is not exactly true to the original unless my original sideart was different . I noticed a few differences mostly in the rocket flames, and the positioning of the first missile on the left, along with the red stripe on some of the rocket fins, colors are a smidge off and missing a white triangle in the orange "bullseye" . But im happy with it, and only purebred anal people such as myself would ever know the difference, but im happy with it. :ROFLMAO:
 
Other side is done, just need my bezels...

Really a great job you've done here!

Did you grab a few pics to document the changes? Star Wars has 2 different versions of art as well and it would be nice to have the documentation so that others could compare. Maybe earlier games were different or there were 2 different producers?
 
Is this sideart no longer available silkscreened?

Its on their archive site, they still make it, but it takes awhile. They may have made extras on this run, i dont know for sure, call kendra if your looking for a set

Here is the new and old. Differences are nothing major, they just jumped out to me and i started looking for others like i listed in my previous post
