Went to an ex-ops place yesterday to pick some stuff up I had bought before.. a DK cab, Defender cocktail to trade for a Pole Position, and a Sprint 2 in exceptional shape. Couldn't fit all into the truck so was going to leave the sprint2 and take the other 2 but mentioned to the guy since we had spent over an hour moving games to get to the DK cab, that instead of putting them all back and having to move again to get to the Sprint2, why not move the SPrint2 out now... so we started moving more cabs when I got a glimpse of something I have always wanted... a Juno First at the back behind everything I had not seen in my visits before.. I had only seen a couple cabs before, both of which were gutted. This, when we got to it was complete... So I paid for it, managed to squeeze it on the back of the truck with the other 2 cabs, and hauled it home. Power cord is cut so will have to put on a new one on today to see if this works.
Anyways, its nice seeing an original cab, but the cpo has some cracking on the bend, and one side of the cab even though the art looks great has had some obvious water contact, and swelling as this is the el-cheapo fiberboard.. some of the corner edges have swelled just from wear it looks like. The bezel looks to be like justs a piece of glass with a paper printed graphic behind instead of anything silkscreened directly to the glass.. may be fading a bit at the bottom.. will get some pics when kid goes down for a nap and I can sneak out in a bit.
But wondering... There is also a grail called Q*bert that I would love to get.. this cab, looks identical to Q*bert I think... does anyone know if this would be a swap candidate for Q*bert dimensionally? I believe JF is Konami, with Q*bert Gottlieb.
Wondering if others had a Juno first, would you rather keep it as-is with damage, even though it still looks very presentable, or yellow laminate the sides so it looks like new and convert to a Q*bert?
