I picked up a barn find sinistar cockpit! Its really rough and didnt work when I brought it home. I opened the hood and it had frankenstain repairs done on the power supply board. I swapped in a good ps board I had here and it fired right up! The game credit it up amd talked but the start button wouldnt launch a game.
 
heres a couple in the enclosed trailer still;

Its actually to big of a project for me. I'm going to list it in the fs section to see if any local collectors would like to bring this one back to its former glory :D
 
That's an interesting cabinet... it's like an ugly duckling. Ugly as hell, but I guess it fits the theme. I'm not saying it's not cool... i'm just saying it's ugly as hell, lol.
 
That is hands down the best way to play that game. Nothing else comes close.
 
That thing is awesome looking. I've never seen one of those before. What are those silver discombooberators made out of? They look like something an '80s comic book artist would draw on some random background futuristic machinery to indicate "high-tech". In fact, the whole thing looks like it could have been conceived by an '80s comic book artist. It almost makes me want to play Sinistar, even though I don't like that game at all.
 
Nice score man...
I think I'm going to have to make this an auto-reply for Jason's posts :D
A steady stream of cool games going into your place!
cheers

Lots of water damage, but the thing is partially playable. The opto joystick wont register up or down so ill have to score some new optos for it :(. I have come to the conclusion it was a chucky cheese game in rochester somewhere, I have found 1983, 1985 1988 1992 1995 tokens strewn throughout the thing.
