I've been looking for an outrun machine for a few weeks now . I've also been looking at past threads for more info. Can someone verify that the mini upright does NOT have a shaker motor but a solenoid that taps the shaft? Thanks
 
That's correct. It does NOT have a shaker motor. This is a pic of the solenoid that "punches" the shaft...

That was fast. Is there a difference in feel between the motor vs the solenoid? Do they both do equal damage on the A and B gear?
 
It's been awhile since I played a standard upright, but if I recall correctly, it shakes the wheel side-to-side, whereas the solenoid punches the wheel forward and back. I've heard some people disconnect the shaker on the upright because it's a little too much.

As for the gears, it must do equal damage because I see both mini and upright owners looking for new gears all the time. :D
 
man, I just played outrun. I suck. can't get pass the second checkpoint. Plus watching the scenery makes me dizzy ahahahah.

Still looking for an upright with the shaker motor if anybody is selling.

I'm selling mine, but I am sure I am too far away for you. It's in very nice shape though, and comes with a NOS B gear and centering springs.

If you were closer I would buy it in a heartbeat seeing all your nice Nintendo resto.
 
and it is not too much, it's great and an incentive to stay on the road :mad:
Hey, I haven't played it on an upright in ages so don't shoot the messenger! I was just saying what those anonymous "some people" do. :)

Hey Slac, if you don't have a machine, where were you playing it? Someplace near you have it on location?

Whoa...I get my ass my handed to me as far as alot of other games go...but if I don't reach an ending everytime I play Outrun I walk away disappointed...one of my favorite things to do everytime I see an Outrun in the wild is to try and beat it!!
