The Belgian road-trip: Space Invaders, Power Drift and Asterock

Did a road-trip last weekend to my good friend Luc in Belgium. Had to pick up three machines:

Space Invaders, Power Drift and Asterock.

Cool story and some great pics, i love the belgium country side. last time i was there tho all i saw was sheep,sheep and more sheep..
 
The bottom of that power drift control panel still looks to be in good condition. Just a little tip if you are unaware, be careful when lowering the control panel down to access the montior, It will hit the top of the open coin door and crack.
 
I just read the story over at dragonslairfans, and it's always kind of cool to read about picking up some new games from start to finish. That Asterock is pretty neat, and is the control panel comfortable to play on? It looks like it slopes downwards.
 
Thanks for the nice comments.

DMBJ, good tip, thanks I will watch for that ! The "CP" has some cigarette burn marks (like the start button). The wheel has some major damage but still works OK. There's also some duct tape on the bezel. I'll have to look into it all.
At least it works, which is nice for a change.

Yes the Asterock CP slopes down I guess it will play fine this way but as the game doesn't work yet I don't really know. Luckely they did use leaf switches but the springs and buttons feel a bit too stiff to play easily, gotta fix that.
