Hey guys, I picked up an outrun mini today, it's complete and works, needs a little tweaking, but so far it works ok.

Its missing the monitor bezel or the art. Never had one before so i'm not sure what it's made of.
I can find side art and turbo bezels, but I can't find a mini outrun. I don't care what the replacement is made of or how it's made, beggars can't be choosers.
So if you know a place that sells or remakes them, please let me know. If not, i'll put up a wanted ad.
Thanks,
Joe

Looks like this:
Obviously NOT mine, since I don't have the bezel...

Ask Rich at ThisOldGame. He may still have the file I sent him ages ago for a repro. Came out great. Here are some old pics that are kinda crappy but just to give you an idea....

Thanks,
On your suggestion I sent them an email, wasn't too hard their page was still up on a tab on my browser with the side art, lol. I don't think I want to go the sideart route yet, mine is ok.

Hopefully he can still make me one.
 
The other option is to just give up and sell me the game. :D. I miss mine.

If he can't make it, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up the file I sent him.

I only had it 8 hours, lol.
Funny thing, never heard of an outrun mini. Once I saw it the intrigue got the best of me, then once I obtained it, I was pretty excited.

Do you know what monitor it comes with? Chassis has a wg on it, so I assume wells gardner. But I don't see a model, i'd like to do a cap kit.
I can take a better pic tomorrow if necessary.

I can't find my tamper proof torx kit, so I have to get another. But the wheel is a little cocked to the left, feels like it only wants to return from one side and the shake is inconsistent. Any thoughts?

Not sure what monitor comes with it as mine came without a monitor when I got it.

As for the steering, these are notorious for having busted gears and springs that are shot. First two things I would look at when you're able to look under the control panel.

These came with K7000 I believe.

Thanks Scott.
After comparing so pics, it does indeed look like a K7000.
Who's the monitor experts here with the best tech support? I prefer to get the parts from someone that I can ask questions if necessary, even if it costs a few more bucks.

JC, you were right about the gears, I almost bought just the one, but decided to look again with a flashlight and pretty much all of them were cracked. And a spring was broken. Ordered a new set at $78, ouch.

Is rich at thisoldgame a member here? I sent the email, but I have a real lack of faith in it getting there when the site opens outlook and then I reply.
The missing bezel is going to drive me nuts, I may paint the wood black and red for now.
 
Yes, Rich @ ThisOldGame is a member here. Name is "RikiTiki" but not sure how often he logs in.

Thanks mystar, lmk.

Is there a reason the shaker on the wheel is inconsistent? Seems to work better and better the longer you play.
Also there is a black round rubber bushing on the end of the solenoid, it's kinda deformed, is there a place to get a replacement?
 
In case you haven't been to Mylstar's website, he's got a ton of Outrun stuff.

It says he's out of stock on the rubber bushing you need for the solenoid, but I would ask him to look again while he's looking for that NOS bezel. :D

.

Yeah, funny thing.
I never saw the bezel on his site, but in an internet search for the bushing, I found the old listing for the bezel.
While i'd love to have an NOS bezel, i'm not so sure this particular cab is worth one depending on the price. It would be an emotional purchase, not a smart one.

Thisoldgame got back to me in an email.

They confirmed size with me then put it up on their website for sale.
$75 shipped.
I bought it.

Very easy.
Thanks for the advice JC.
 
No problem. Glad it worked out. But...

I expect to see pictures when you get it installed. :D

No prob I will.

I wish the sideart wasn't so expensive, one side of mine needs a lot of touching up, one side is good.

Next issue, the gray floor mat is a mess. I see people have had them, but that's years ago. Any clue where it comes from or a similar material? I pm'ed one of the guys that had some, hopefully he gets back to me.

Bezel, new gears for steering, enhanced roms, bezel, cap kit.
This is becoming a real project, lol.

Debating on pulling out the pedals and having them powdercoated or using a real car pedal cover kit.
