I have posted threads about some of my single game restorations, and I thought it was about time for a proper post about my gameroom & garagecade. Not all of my machines are pictured, but most are. My story is familiar: I've been collecting for about 4 years now, most games were purchased non-working and some were gutted. Those that did have signs of life were not playable. My hands have been into each one of them, in a major way. Parts were found from Bob, e-bay, TNT, Quarterarcade, etc.

Thanks guys! The Night Driver cockpit has a flaw I can't fix. As you can see, someone cut a rectangle in the side of the cab to access the shifter. I've fixed it as best I can so it is still removable and blends in a little. Thankfully the rectangle was original, I added new nuts bolts, and some black automotive touch up paint to help hide the new parts.

Oh, and a shout out to all of my local arcade friends who helped with parts...including complete broken monitors...and taught me some ways to work on monitors. Some of the downed monitors I was able to fix, some of them needed a pro. Really, I couldn't have done it without them!

Very nice! The Omega Race looks sweet, and the Assault and Toobin' look cool next to each other - I guess you have the complete collection of Atari "skinny" cabs... ;)
 
Thanks for the compliments. Galaga and my other pin, Xenon are not shown in the pictures. Galaga needs me to install a new CPO; it's not quite ready to show.

Assault's production numbers are surprising: Atari only made 1079 of them. The sticks internals aren't original, but the handles are original. I actually like them more than the ones from the factory.
