So I picked up the Space Zap machine that was for sale locally that you may have read about in my other thread a while back. It's a cabaret.
The cab was in really nice shape for being 30. I probably would not have purchased it otherwise, but the condition was so nice I made a deal with the guy.
The guy actually had the keys and schematics for the thing too.
It's not without problems though. It would appear that the sound amp is missing. From what I guess, it is supposed to mount on the back of the coin box??? Can someone help me out with this, maybe let me know, or take a picture of theirs? Is there anywhere to even get a replacement amp for this machine???
Also the game itself has issues. It will sometimes kind of reset. Also sometimes it will just stop playing and display crazy corruption on the screen. I have no idea where to start with that issue. I tried to reseat the cards, but did not help. Anyone have a tip?
Anyway, what do you think? I didn't pay very much for it, but then again, I have no idea how much this is going to cost to fix, or if I can even get parts. Could possibly turn into a money pit.
Fellow owners:
Are the PCBs the same for the full upright and the cabaret? (In case I have to replace the PCB)
Can someone assist in pointing out where the audo amp goes, and if it's possible to replace? No idea which one it even is.
Going to upload them to my website, stay tuned for a link to more pics.
EDIT. PICS HERE
