Capcom Bowling (Q*Bert) *Update*
DaOld Man:
So are you saying restore it to a curve ball?
Looks like a curve ball board may be harder to find than a Q*bert.
Plus you see how the CP was mutilated for the trackball.

I've been worried about the exact same thing for my restore. The electronics for Q*Bert can be a bit spendy.
DaOld Man:
Ok I have decided to mame this baby, but leave the cabinet intact so that it can be restored to a Q*Bert or Curve Ball, if I or anyone else should decide to do so in the future.
I am going to use a horizontally mounted CRT computer display for the monitor, with same angle as the original, and plan to use the curve ball control panel, except set up for 1 player mame controls with a trackball.
I also plan to install a usb port to allow a controller to be plugged in for player 2. Still got to decide how Im going to place player two admin buttons (start, coin, etc).
The real estate space on the cp is extremely limited.
So, do I need to abandon this thread and start a new one in project announcements?

No, this thread can be moved.
DaOld Man:
OK thanks. Can some one move this to project announcements?
