Hi all.
Just wanted to finally share some of my games. I have 2 original/dedicated cabinets, and 3 cabinets that I returned from the dead using MAME (before you kill me.. look at the pics.. the games were not hacked up at all and can easily be fully restored in the future.. all 3 were either dead, empty, or just really rough when I got them).
Here is the first: Pole Position II. Got it for $100.. not working (this was before I knew anything about working on games.. and had no idea PP was a tough machine to maintain). Luckily for me.. I jiggled a few wires and tapped on the chips and it fired right up.. and been working well for about 3 years now. A friend of mine who works in a sign shop created new side art for me... and I put on a new CPO from ThisOldGame. Other than that... it is the same as when I got it. (FYI - if any of you have seen the video on Youtube.. this is the same cabinet from the "Playing Pole Position During Lightning Strike" video that I posted a few years ago.
Before and after shots of the side art.
