We had the Red Baron delivered this past Saturday and I've been working on it bit by bit since. I've kept track of my progress over on the website here...

And I created a couple photo albums along the way.

Basically I rebuilt everything that needed rebuilding. One *very* cool thing is the person I bought it from started to install an NOS joystick rebuild kit about 6 or 7 years ago right before he shelved the project. He never mentioned this NOS kit before delivering the game so that was a very happy surprise. :D

I still can't believe I own a Red Baron... AND IT WORKS!!! :eek: Sooooo happy right now.
 
I'm now a proud owner of a Color Vector too. And I've concluded that vectors games are sweet!
Congratulations on your Red Baron!
 
definately one of my fav's can't wait to fire mine up once i dig it back out of the garage.....need to get the rom saver kit too, with the kit installed does it now save more than the original top three high scores?
 
Very very cool.

I was fortunate enough to play the cockpit some time ago in the UK. Gotta love the whole concept and gameplay, a true classic. And don't forget that the Red Baron flew one of the best plane brands ever ;)
 
Is it queer that I want to get a helmet, goggles, and red scarf for when I play this game? Actually... I don't even care if it is because that's what I'm doing!!! :D

The wifey and kiddos just laughed when we all came up with the idea... I think all of them were kind of kidding but I think it's a great idea!!!

Why does this image remind me of A Christmas Story?

"I like the Wizard of Oz. I like the Tin Man."

:D

Please post a pic of this if you do. :)

No, with the kit just the top three are saved.

This morning the leather flight helmet and goggles were dropped off and this afternoon I received an awesome condition Atari Red Baron poster from prOk! Dude, this thing is in GREAT condition! Not sure why, but I was expecting something in a lot lesser shape. My being happy is an understatement! :D

And yes... there will be some pictures soon!

Thanks again Mr. prOk!!! :beerchug:
 
Freekin sweet. Bet is would look awesome next to a battlezone. They are the same cab right?

Yep, same cab. I just have to finish a few little things on it before we move it next to our Battlezone down in the basement.

And here are a couple more pictures...
