I acquired this Race Drivin' today for $75 and have promptly started to disassemble it. The game is in working condition, but is a far way from 100%. The cabinet is in alright shape, though some mice apparently made it their home at one point.
Issues that have to be resolved (in order of importance):
The thing needs cleaned. Badly.
The 6" pulley on the steering assembly and the 2" pulley on the motor don't look like they line up quite right so I will have to figure out how to get them back in alignment.
Someone in the past also replaced the shifter and it is permanently stick in the 3rd gear position.
The seat needs redone.
The brake pedal is a little whacky... I guess I'll be on the market soon for a new one. This is a very hard game to play with out a brake.
I'm debating whether or not to pull the chassis out and put a LCD monitor into the machine. If I decide on going that route I would rather do it now while it is in pieces than later.
Any suggestions/advice? This is my first real project so I'm trying to keep myself from getting in over my head, though I already feel like I failed at that.
