Capcom Bowl Galaxian Cab Conversion
SirPeale:
Finally painted it today. I've cleaned up the wiring, replaced the G07 with a K4900 I had kicking around, and wired in the 48-in-1 PCB. The coin door has been stripped and repainted. Rewired a bunch of stuff.
Still to do:
[*] new marquee
[*] possible new CP as the old one is swiss cheesed badly
[*] possible side art - not sure yet
[*] new glass. I smashed it when I was loading it into the truck. The handtruck broke. :(
More pictures on my site in the first post.
SirPeale:
Installed T molding.
Think I'm going to attempt to reuse the old CP. Won't be the layout I want, but it will be functional if I do it right. I plan to sell it anyway, Christmas is coming!
Jack Burton:
Hey, I've got a Ms. Pac-Man that has been converted to Capcom Bowling that looks exactly like that!
Was somebody out there doing this conversion in batches or something?
SirPeale:
When life gives you lemons...make lemonade.
I don't have the money to shell out for a new CP. So what to do?
Old operators trick...use plexiglass or Lexan to make a surface.
I'm not leaving it like this, I've got Parts Express vinyl to cover once I clean it up.
Had to get creative with the button spacing, but it seems to work.
SirPeale:
And here it is with the vinyl installed. I'm not 100% happy with it, but I'll leave it be. If I keep screwing with it I'll just make it worse.
