Yesterday I begun to remove the Willow CPO so I can apply my new Strider one on.

While removing all the wires I found it funny that there were no central Joystick mount.
The stud patterns and button holes were way off and odd.. So I continue to strip off the CPO until I noticed another
sign of CPO art. As soon as I made it out, I just got sick to my stomach.
What was discovered was Willow (A the Kit game) Infected & took over "Forgotten Worlds".
I was just talking to Dick Jones and PrairieDillo about one I found near by me and was going to make an offer. Then this showed up in my house.
Forgotten worlds has a pretty respectable rank per PrairieDillo capcom List.
(Check it out its pretty good) https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...OQdEFwVERYNTJIaTFjajZJeWxScmlNVHc&output=html

I can not Cut this panel. There is no way. I restore, not Hack. Anyone got an extra Dynamo Control Panel, Anyone Restoring a Forgotten Worlds?
This is a dedicate FW control Panel as you can see. If someone has an extra Matching style Control panel, Please IM me. we can talk business.

Any help would be great.
My Strider Resto is a halt till I find another matching style Control Panel.

Thank you guys.

I think what you've done wrong here is trash a perfectly good Willow control panel overlay... A lot of guys here would have gladly bought that from you or traded you another Atari cab panel.
 
i think you should go ahead and do what you need to do with it.....

Any forgotten worlds you find will undoubtly have the proper control panel present and intact... that is the dynamo "modular" control panel.... not on every corner but can be found with a little work.
 
Look Guys, I understand the passion that some of you guys have for this Willow game.
I do, but the Willow overlay was already damaged when I bought it.
The previous owner had removed a section off the top plexiglass cover.

I already own a willow in better shape. Reason why I made the conversion:

plexi can easily be replaced... there were alternatives to destroying the overlay. It's your game to do what you want with, but trashing the overlay was dead wrong.
