Name your price!

Dick, relist your wanted with the name of what you are looking for in the title. You will have a lot more success that way.
 
Dick,
To be honest, I've watched the horrible movie 3 times frame by frame seeking for it... its not there.
Also as a Photographer, I've searched in the archives of the production Photos, You know the 8x10's and I couldn't find a thing.
That Shot of that picture had to of come from Camera 2 or something. No photos I've seen have that angle.

I'm still trying though.

Getting Closer.

Ok, Here's the Latest. I've tracked down the Photographer that was on Location for this movie.
The Photographer's name is Roland Neveu. The image you seek for the CPO was never filmed.
The Image you seek was shot with a camera. I've track him down & sent him an email
with the help of my contacts. Hopefully he'll have the Negatives, (because digital camera were not even invented then)
When he or if he does reply to me, I will request for some of the still shots he took in this frame sequence. (hopefully he'll have the CPO image were looking for)
This is the closest I've found, and somewhat tracked the Photographer that shot it.
Getting Closer.

Why am I doing this? I guess for the challenge of seeking the image. I have many photographer friends all over the world from past assignments.
We'll see if we can reach him. He Lives in Thailand.

Ok, wtf is going on here? Dick deleted all of his replies. I'm guessing he wants a custom CPO made from a still from Rambo 3?
 
Biomech011, I just wanted to say how much I admire what you are doing. Going out of your way to help someone who is basically a stranger to you. Using you talents to bring something positive to the hobby, even if it is just a Rambo III CPO.
 
Radford,
Thank you for the kind words.
All I know is this guy here has been looking for this CPO for about 9+/- years.
Photography is what I've been doing for 20 years now, i figure i could help out.
This is what This whole website / forum is for right? To help people complete their projects/goals?

All I know is that I've been successful with my projects because of this site, It's best that I give back.

Not only that, but Mr. DJ here hooked my up with a semi-pristine Street Fighter 1 bezel. I'd like to help him out with his project.

WOW - you really made my day dude. im speachless...

wanna know why i think this kindness is being extended my way?? because i deserve it. ive helped out a number of collectors over the years, many times giving things away or going out of my way to help with no expectiation or agenda. just like Boimech is doing here.... and also for the love and the challenge.

My only real repayment until now has been people F-ing me over and criticing when the opportunity arises. a KLOV E-speciality... LOL

well, when it rains it pours.... God has made Biomech the conduit for my repayment and i thank you both. Belive me Bio... people will take notice of your good spirit and you will be repaid 10 fold.

any exactly what do you mean " even if its only for Rambo" LOL! the sheer rarity of this game and the fact that i only (now) collect movie based arcade games, and that i've never seen a properly converted speciman makes the persuit worth it.

Thanks a million on reaching out to the photgrapher. I have this feeling your going to find it.. and the anticipation is driving me crazy..
 
Hey hey!,
Wow, thanks for the kind words. I tell you, I spend most of my time scanning the Wanted Threads trying to help people out.
Mostly for Bezel art.

I got so much art to scan and restore. Look at this, all in my que to restore:

How are the sides and bottom edges looking?... let me know... are you like an opp or somthin?
 
DJ,
These bad boys are Fricken Heavy. They are in pretty good Shape. I'll take a few photos
for ya next time i go up there. I normally go every Thursday. I'm just a lucky guy that found
a well full of old gold. I bring the NOS art home and scan to restore.
LOL, I am no opp. Just a guy who loves to restore arcade games back their somewhat original form.
 
Heavy they are. I recently passed on a really nice one because I didn't want to have to move it. It was in a walk out basement but you couldn't park anywhere near the exit, it was all unpaved, my dolly has hard tires and their soft tire dolly didn't have enough air in the tires, we struggled just to get a Dig Dug out of there with it.

Tell me about it. I had to do human monster truck pulling with these 2 bad boys in the gravel
with a bad bearing on 1 wheel on the dolly.

D.Jones, here some more shots of the corners.
I went up today to get a NOS captain America CPO & side art:

I would love to have an arcade like some of you guys. It's really amazing how great people's set ups are. I am new to the arcade scene, and it just blows my mind how awesome this is.

I also appreciate how you guys try to help each other without any expecting back. Other forums tend to have people who love to flame others. Sorry for being off topic but I just had to comment on those pictures bio. Hopefully my collection will be as cool as yours.
 
Hey Datn1zzle,
Thanks for the kind words. 1st, those games you see there are not mine. I wish!
That's my source. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if you wish...

That's where I dwell to get my parts & art to restore.

Restoring all of these:
