I picked up a free Road Blasters on Saturday. It only cost me a trailer rental ($20), gas (about $20) and my time. The person who gave it to me is moving out of state. I was going to pick it up weeks ago, but he was out of town working and I figured it was a dead deal. He emailed me Thursday that he is moving on Sunday and if I want it, its mine.

He stripped it down to MAME it, so I saved it...

Yesterday, I put it together and it works! Monitor needs to be rebuilt or rejuved and the controls need to be calibrated, but other than that...

As you can see from the pictures, he stripped the vinyl off. Cab is in great shape so I will be ordering new vinyl from Rich. (not sure if I will get new sideart due to the cost). I have the doors, speaker cover, plexi, etc. Still missing some parts (listed in the Wanted section).

Deja-vu. Mine was free also, very similar story too. Got it with a dead monitor and have since replaced it. I acually miss having the "T-Shirt Giveaway" burn though.

Black paint on the sides will look better than the laminate that used to be on there BTW. I have seen repro. system 1 sideart available. Looks like a fun project.

My board flashes the "T-Shirt Giveaway" :)

So you think black painted sides are nicer? What type? Eggshell?
