Snagged a P-47 Freedom Fighter (converted from Two Tigers)

Hey all, finally got around to snapping some pics of my first working video game haul. Last Friday I was looking at CL, and saw an ad for P-47 Freedom Fighters for $75 working. It had been posted for hours so I figured that it would be already spoken for. Fortunately, the seller liked the phrase, "I can pick it up tonight." Hauling it from the basement sucked, but it's here now, so..

This is a Jaleco game, converted from a Two Tigers dedicated cabinet. The reason for the blank panel on the front is that is where the flight yoke controls once went. The artwork is in great shape, and the original bezel and monitor surround are still there and fit the theme nicely. The monitor is a G07 with slight burn in, not enough to affect gameplay.

I have heard in the past people complaining about linear power supplies, and I thought of replacing this one with a switcher, but it works for now, so I think I'll leave it alone.

CPO is a bit worn, and one whole side of the coin door has hardware removed/blocked off. Still, a decent find for $75. Maybe I'll put cupholders on that big blank panel on the front ;)


Inside I found a business envelope from an Aladdin's Castle, sadly no "Property of.." nameplate.

Good shooter I've played it lots. I have a nice bezel for P-47 if you ever want one for the cabinet. I have that and a few others in a LOT of bezels I want to sell.
