Is Missle Command a good cab for a newbie?

[Wyluli]

I'd say definately trade it off or resale it.  You can get a cheap mame cab if you look around more.  I have an empty Tempest cab you can have for free if you wanna come to Florida and pick it up 

Good luck to ya!

picked her up and she is a beauty.. works great.... even had the original instructions taped in the inside

the trackball is huge at 3 in... could use a little bit of lube/wd40 ...

still has the state inspection stickers for 82-84.. artwork is pretty solid... i actually think it looks good with a little wear.. if it was too perfect, might look like a reproduction

3"?  If I recall isn't the trackball on Missile Command a 4"?  I may be wrong seeing as how I've never been lucky to get one.

AHHHHHH!!!  I just read again.. DO NOT USE WD-40 for lubrication!  I use 3in1 oil.

WD-40 is not a good lube choice.  Use real oil, 3-in1 or similar.  WD dries up and leaves sticky, dirty residue.

Does the monitor have a good picture? If so then just clean up the cabinet really well and replace the trackball rollers and bearings and you will be pretty much finished.

monitor is near perfect... how do i replace the rollers and bearings?


also the marquee light is out... i'm willing to bet it's just a old bulb (could be the original)
