Well I bought game #2 yesterday A Missile Command buried in a tool shed.
I bought my first machine last October, a Donkey Kong that was working. #2 is an Atari Missile Command. It was buried under some junk in a outdoor shed. Cabinet was dry. Everything seems to be there. Back door was coming off and the space under that was disconnected from the rest of the cabinet but laying inside. Cabinet was solid and in fair condition. Marquee and Bezel are in good shape. Whole thing was filthy.
I got it for cheap and then had to put it in storage at a friends place as we're currently shopping houses and i didn't want to haul a busted game upstairs. I haven't got to even plug it in yet. Wanted to give it a good cleaning up before that.
Already know that the bearings and rollers are going to need replacing. Not sure on the optic pcb. I know a multi kit is out, and thought about snagging that. Also thought id grab a big blue for the power supply, as my understanding is you can't get a switching power supply for this one.
So before i jump in on this any deeper does anyone have any suggestions or things i should look out for?
