Seems like the all cool kids are doing Joust Cocktail restorations these days.

I started this project in 2011, with a cabinet that had been converted to something with a lot of buttons, then reconverted back to Joust, but without the guts. It was running a switcher and a 19-in-1 board, and had incorrect upright joysticks (with giant relief holes) and bad overlays. I bought a bunch of parts back then and stuck everything in the back of my warehouse, where it sat until 2016, when I decided to knock this thing out. I plugged the joystick holes in the bottom of the control panel, and plugged a bunch of cooling holes that someone had drilled in the bottom of the cab. Also made some new feet. Then nothing for eight years.

But this time, THIS TIME, I'm serious.

Here's some "before":
