My red is rusty, and I don't have a blue one at all, so I'm looking for a pair in really nice condition as it'll be going on a restore.
 
Just curious, but since I'm doing a TC2 right now (I think same as you):

Do you know if TC2 had a red holster and a blue holster? Mine has 2 red. Most of the pics I can find are 2 red.

Pretty much same question on the steel pan under the holster (mine are both red, internet pics seem to show either 2 red or 2 black).


Congrats on finding a PB import cab btw. I keep finding them, but it's always in friggin UK. :(

I got home recently also so I'll get those Ninja Assault mirror measurements this weekend if I can.
 
I'm actually fixing up the PB import cab! It only has one holster, and the one it does have is kinda rusted out.

I managed to find NOS Start area artwork and a NOS CPO. I doubt I'll find sideart because I want to stick to "Gunbarl" and not "Point Blank", but I'm going to keep an eye out.

Apparently the PB ones are different from the TC ones, which I hadn't realized until today.

I don't currently own a TC2, but the one I had owned was 2 red as well. Have you found any pictures of blue ones?

Thanks for the help with Ninja Assault btw!
 
Oh, snap, that is a different holster, isn't it? I would have assumed they were same.

I mean I see TC2 machines with blue holsters on image searches, but I'm guessing they've just been painted.

Nice cab, definitely jelly over here.
 
I have a 2 player TC2. Both the holsters are red and just the acrylic surround is blue. Its a bit hard to see but if you look at the bottom right hand side of the blue gun you can make it out. I am really tempted to get mine powder coated blue.

Thanks. The pictured one isn't mine. Mine's a bit rough around the edges (literally), but it'll clean up just fine.

Most of the artwork has cleaned up really nicely. It's impressive what some elbow grease can do for sideart. The kickplate looks mostly new now.

Actually, can either of you get a shot of the holster without the acrylic surround? Maybe they're the same thing, just under the plastic?

It's not a horrible place to start. ~shrug~ $2000+ for shipping would be a horrible place to start.

I have mine out for cleaning and touchup. Not even close. TC2 holster is angled forward more, shorter, and has holes that mount onto studs in the bottom pan (whereas that appears to have studs that mount down through the control panel). TC2 looks same as Ninja Assault to me, but I'm not looking under the CP at the moment or anything.


@Blackfish I am having that dilemma. Both of my holsters have a fair amount of paint worn off. I'm tempted to repaint or powder coat one in blue. But I generally prefer to stay stock, and it seems sort of half assed without doing one of the bottom pans the same color, or turning them both black. The pan parts are pretty spotless besides the typical dings on the front.

What a pita project lol. I've never had to decommission a drink rail off of a game before. So much sticky beverage mess. GD frat boys. :(
 
@kspiff - All 6 TC2's I've owned were red holsters. BTW..if you need spare TC2 anything..i have it. PCB's, gun boards, wiring even...just not guns.

@rewrite - Kspiff is right. Those PointBlank holsters are a completely different beast. Now, the conversion kit holsters may have been the same as TC2, cause they could be mounted into/under a dynamo panel<?>, but the dedicated are way different. Will keep eyes peeled for you though.
 
@bagheera, you happen to have a knuckle box with cover for the 27" dual? Mine is pretty wrecked. I tried to bang it out, but it still looks like hell and some of the threaded wells popped out.

I think I can make due on the rest, trying not to be too anal so I can start playing sooner. :D
 
Yeah, mine could definitely needs to be repainted. The whole pillar really needs to be done. I'm always keen to keep things OG but its seems like its a cheaply made cab overall and it really should've been painted blue. My cab is looking good from the outside but a lot of the laminate has peeled off the wood in the inside of the cab. If/when I get around to getting it repainted I will probably paint it blue. I don't think it'll reduce the value of the cab, but it will look better.
