Hello folks, first post so be gentle. Just answer the parts that you feel like answering and thanks in advance for any input or advice. I spent more quarters on this game in the early 90's than I care to remember, and now I own it for $300! It could use a little love...
1-How hard is it to remove that plexiglass on the control panel that is broken? I'm thinking about just leaving the graphic under it because it is in good condition although it will have holes in it.
2-All of the buttons and joysticks are working, but if I replaced them, do you get better response on the game or is it best to just let them die first? Where is the best place to score those parts and what exactly am I looking for?
3-My cabinet was once a Simpsons cabinet according to an old sticker on the back, so I'm assuming someone just blacked it out and added these stickers to the side. Does anyone have the graphics scanned that actually look like the hardwood court? I have a large format printer in town that hooks me up.
4-Where can I find the locks and change boxes? Those are totally gone as you can see from the picture.
5-The monitor seems a little grainy and the colors aren't that great. Yes, I know it's over 15 years old and yes I am probably used to Hi-def TVs and such now, but are there adjustments that can be made or a replacement monitor that will make it come back to life?
6-Is anyone selling a new header? This one is torn and pretty faded. Actually, I'd be interested in any parts for this machine.
7-Who are the guys in Raleigh, NC or nearby that work on classic arcade machines? The guy I've been calling is putting me off.
8-How do I know which "version" I have? I hear people refer to v.1, v.2 etc. on these forums alot.
I'm sure I'll think of some other stuff, but please give all of the advice you can. I'll certainly appreciate it!
