Well, I got my outrun board bench tested, and everything seems to work, though my bench analog controls are very poor.
Anyway, I took an inventory of the parts, and I am missing:
speakers/marquee/marquee light
audio amp board
b-gear
all of the wiring (ALL!)
pots from the pedals
power supply (I can use a switcher for the logic levels, but not the motors)
cooling fan
The control panel and monitor surround are both damaged pretty bad, the a-gear is cracked, the shaker is unknown, but missing some bolts, and the cabinet needs some love as well. I have the steering wheel (sans logo), but the rest of its assembly is pretty beat up and rusty. I don't think the pedals are original, as the manual shows them mounted to the floor, but these are on a panel in the cabinet (and there are bolt hols on the floor).
It would be a LOT of effort to get this outrun back into a usable form, but I don't remember it being that good of a game. It was supposed to be complete when I got it, but I had a couple other projects ahead of it, so I put it in a corner until now and just realized that it is missing a lot. I should have checked it out earlier, but the monitor was disconnected and I got it from a reputable (I thought) guy. My fault, but now I have to figure out what to do with it.
Any idea what these parts would cost? My guesses are below.
speakers - 10-15 (stereo)
marquee - 30-40
marquee light - 10
audio amp board - ?
b-gear - 80
all of the wiring (ALL!) - $$$ (stupid weird connectors)
pots from the pedals - 5-6
power supply - 50
cooling fan - 5-10
It looks like at least a couple hundred just to get it working, not to mention making it look decent. I am leaning toward parting it out.
Anyone care to talk me out of it?
