Capcom Bowl Galaxian Cab Conversion

<< < (2/4) > >>

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.
