[Museum-bound #1!] Nintendo Punch-Out!! Restore & Deconversion
Hey guys. My grandma's house is getting sold by my crazy aunt (who is essentially the devil in our lives now - she took control of my sick grandma's assets and screwed my whole family over in a years-long mom-tear-filled kind of debate, bleh - just happy it's coming to an end) where my whole collection happened to reside, so I had to buy a trailer and move all my games to a warehouse in PA that is being loaned to me. Still in progress, but our deadline is at the end of January. This isn't really relevant to the restoration but I wanted to give an update on my personal situation to those here that know me - I no longer base my operations out of NJ whatsoever, now out of PA where I've lived most of my life anyways. ANYWAYS. . .
Completely separate (I suppose having the games local now fueled the fire a little bit but isn't the cause whatsoever, my love for these games is and this has been in planning forever!), I am starting a museum and arcade with my girlfriend later this year in PA so I am really hunkering down on getting games and getting them going.
I work very hard for a guy who runs a business that includes games and in return he's given me many many many free games and also loans me the warehouse space I need to store my collection for the meantime which is where I will be doing this restore. I used to work for him for pay but now I tend to his selection of games in return for said things. He's a good guy.
One of the games he recently just gave me after I inquired was this UN Squadron in a Nintendo Playchoice (probably?) cabinet. I like the game and it's actually a fairly expensive CPS1 games, but I know Punch-Out is big in the hearts of gamers everywhere as well as mine so I want to make it one for my museum.
I got this game for free so so far I am in it for $0. I bought the K.O. button so I am now it for $42. (groan! lol)
It has a working 20-EZ inside which needs a cap kit but the other monitor was removed.
I can't afford a complete control panel ($300-$400 madness) so I'm going to drill this one or check if the holes are correct for PO or PC10. I'm keeping UN Squadron in my arcade for sure, but since it's going to be in a different cabinet of course the control panel is probably a worthy sacrifice nonetheless.
