RoadBlasters - A Fizgig Restoration

[fizgig]

My second favorite system 1 games gets some love.

I want to say thanks to Francis M (nash) for the NOS CPO, Daryl (DJDNS) for the NOS marquee and Joey (joeycuda) for the repro paper monitor bezel.
Also Darrin at phoenix arcade for the sys 1 side art and Joe (OU Flight) for the new cabinet (this was before i started building my own)

Game was in decent shape to start with but had a rough cab and a lot of cosmetic issues.

Brand new black melamine cabinet
Cleanup/restored inside guts: power supply, wire harness, PCB, etc.
Powder coated misc: bolts, brackets, speaker cover.
Powder coated: controls (bk-1 texture), coin door, gas pedal assembly and control panel (satin texture)
Custom Atari logo coin inserts
New glass monitor bezel
New Paper monitor bezel
New T-molding
New Fan
New Light fixture and bulb
New Locks
New Vinyl Casters
New Power Cord
New Speakers
NOS marquee
NOS Control Panel Overlay
New controller decals (made by me - solvent inkjet, matte texture, plotter cut)
New Repro side art
Beautiful monitor with very slight burn

Another amazing restoration job! Are you planning to make the steering wheel stickers available? I'd be interested in a set.

How did I miss this? I don't even really like this game, but I think I want one now!

It's a great game, I highly recommend it.
I'm working on custom side art for it as well.
