Nice. How are you fixing the broken corner piece on the left-hand front side?

Going to glue the piece back, and use bondo to fill in the gap.  I'll probably end up getting the repro side art in the end, too.  This thing is gonna be minty when I'm done!  :applaud:

Sweet. As I pretty much played the game at Peter Piper Pizza, you might want to smear some tomato sauce on the wheel and shifter to get that air of authenticity!

Well, after smoking the big resistor on one of the AR boards while adjusting to get 5.0 volts, I've decided to go the switching power supply route with a couple of mono sound amps.

So no more finicky Atari power system and big blues...

But.... I'll even buy the pizza!  Can we at least spill soda on your carpet for that sticky walking feel? :laugh:

Haha...  no, no soda on the carpet.  I do plan on getting some blacklight carpet for the gameroom, though.

I now have the switching power supply, and the two audio amp kits needed to replace ALL of the Atari power setup.  No more big blue, no more AR boards.   >:D

Now I just have to put it together and hope that's what was causing the board glitch.   :dunno
