New access to warehouse!!! Waiting outside as I type

[doodlesdaddy]

Well, been working on Afterburner, cleaning up pretty good, I see the bezel decals are available, which I may get, they are seriously pricey. I could make it look awesome with new side art, but don't see that online.

I pulled out the Colony 7, and it is really in great shape. The screen comes up, but all white. The board has led lights on it, that only come on when I wiggle a connector on the transformer board. Couldnt get the LEDs to stay on, but fixing that connection hopefully will do it. The screen would start to come up when I held the connection in the sweet spot, so I think the game would work. No more time to mess with these today, but I think I got some work done on them, just looks like a lot to go!!!! Anybody let me know if your interested in any of them, other than the Cruisn USA, as they sit now, or maybe after i fix them up. Thanks

DD, I would love to take that Colony 7 from you but funds have been exhausted....

 

[doodlesdaddy]

that's cool, no problem. what's it worth anyway, assuming it works and is cosmetically pretty good?

Now you're making me want to call my contact right away. The guy that owns the bar I work at also owns a few arcades. I talked to him the other night and just asked him if he ever had anything that he wanted to get rid of. He said "I wish I would have known earlier, I just took a box truck of stuff to the dump. Next time, I'll call you and I'll let you come down and take what you want. I think I've got a Simpsons in the back I don't need." I told him after the holidays when I come down to where he is, then I'll call him and we'll go through what he doesn't want.

Awesome story and great grabs for you. I hope I'm just as lucky.

Hey guys,
If I wanted to fix up this MACH3, where would I get a laserdisc player, and bout how much they cost? In other news, it's so easy to click and buy massive amounts of parts when you have nothing in a game, you know? I have been Internet shopping and have bought
Choplifter CPO, 16 locks, Cruisn USA marquee, multiple T moldings, Afterburner decals, and went to Home Depot and got caster wheels, multiple paints, flouresent lights, bunch of paint sample cards, sanding disks, various bolts, geeze!!!!

Should have plenty to do for awhile now!!

Someone here has an LD player for you I am sure, otherwise eBay. They are super heavy and expensive to ship though and 3 out of the 4 I have had shipped arrived destroyed. Check here for all the tech info for Mach 3...

I've got a buddy in Columbia that has a LD player from his Dragon's Lair project that he'd probably like to parlay into a warehouse trip or something.

 

[That80sGuy]

Definitely I do have one. I will grab it next time I'm at the storage facility and test it out. If it works and you are interested ..contact me.

 

[doodlesdaddy]

Sweet!! I'll probably get to the Mach in about a month or so, got a few projects ahead of it, so no rush. Thanks a lot!!!

I had a choplifter in a MACH 3 cabinet as well ... funny, I guess that was just a "natural" conversion because of the flight stick controls.

Funspot has one too, although theirs is the cockpit style MACH 3 cab.

Im so pissed, cruisin usa is a grail of mine and you just got one handed to you...lucky bastard

They have 2 cockpits. 1 is a Mach 3 and can you guess what the other one was converted to? Yep you guessed it a Choplifter
