Gee, I'm behind on my updates again...
A few more things arrived since my last post...
Keychain. I'd ordered a Gauntlet Legends keychain off of "arcadetees" on eBay a while back and it (finally) arrived. Nice keychain, but took forever to get shipped. At least now I'll remember what that extra set of keys is sitting on my desk, though.
Tokens. I bought a bag of .984 tokens off of alank2 and they arrived yesterday. Had to make some adjustments to one of the coin mechs to get it to repeatedly accept all of the tokens, but that wasn't too hard. Used the info on
this page over at Arcade Replay to help figure out how to adjust the mechs. Have to say, though, that it was
really nice to hear that "clunk, jingle" sound of the tokens going into the machine. Did feel kinda odd, though, stuffing 25 tokens into the machine again and again while testing it out. Had a flash of "oh gawd this game costs a fortune, it better be good" whiz through my mind.
Gfx card. Gave up on the ATI Radeon 7500 that I had kicking around and bought a used GeForce2MX board w/s-video. The ATI is a nice board, but has no TV-out support for anything under than Windows. PM me if interested; I'm willing to sell the ATI board.
Side art. Bought a replacement set of side art on eBay, which arrived last week. Its not like I
need it as the art on the cab is in great shape, but I figured that it'd be nice to have a replacement set for when the time comes.
I've also started prepping for wiring up the CP here, but have found that father time stole my soldering mojo. Been a while since I last did any soldering of small electronic items (~10yrs), and I see that I'm, uh, not as good at it as I used to be. So, taking a bit of time to practice on some junk before I finish wiring up all of the LEDs for the buttons.
