My gameroom Grail finally comes home! (Spyhunter Sitdown)
This Spyhunter sitdown was delivered Saturday, after a full restoration effort over at Vintage Arcade Superstore. I'd been waiting a couple years for this to get done due to a combination of factors...However it proved to be well worth the wait. The end result is an A+ condition resto of my favorite game
During this time, I was able locate a NOS plastic seat, controller parts and yoke, an uncracked plastic steering column cover, new monitor and ThisOldGame produced the cockpit sideart. Prior to applying the CPO, I sent it to Rich for scanning.
The timing turned out perfect my 7 month garage/arcade renovation project wrapped up Thursday.
A big thanks to my good friends Gene Lewin and his crew at VintageArcadeSuperstore in Glendale for their extensive knowledge and patience with me poking around their shop and helping me with my other games, Rich Lint at ThisOldGame for his continued excellent products and contributions to the hobby and Stephen Beale at Videogameparts.com for being an incredible source of parts.
Now that Spyhunter is home, we've been playing it everyday. Both of my sons love playing it. I love playing it. Looking forward to my good friend Paul Dean taking her out for a spin and posting a record score for us to chase.
Here are a couple Spyhunter pix and a few of our gameroom from my android phone..I'll update this thread with better pix from our camera if I can find it
my soon to be 5 year old trying it solo...He usually sits on my lap and I do the foot pedal while he steers and shoots.
