Just bought them,
Asteroids upright project. Has monitor tube/frame, but no deflection board or HV cage. Power supply, harness, AR1, PCB, CP are all there. Missing test panel, back door, cashbox, bezel. AR1 needs rebuild, board has signs of life but I haven't tested 100%.
Tempest upright project. Cab is OK, No PCB, monitor, back door, speaker. Most of the rest is there, including the CP (fully populated), power brick, AR2, harness, bezel.
I don't want to dump a bunch of money into the games as I want to play them home use and as I can tell these monitors alone are $200 to $700. I love the cabs and want to play the games.
I'm seriously considering buying 2 different multicade boards that have each game on them and using that with an LCD to dedicate each game. other option is having a buddy MAME a computer for each game loading right to the game.
I know some will say hell no, but for me to get them working again could mean $400 to 1K each and that's not gonna happen. I'm not looking to multicade or add buttons and joysticks, I want to keep it as original as possible without the cost and expertise.
I would appreciate any advise on what you would do in the situation I am in. Thanks guys! Steve
