Several hundred? WTH are you smokin'? Those cost $1000+...I thought I was lucky to have a Fluke 111

Ha! I looked at ebay for prices, though Ive seen as high as 1500 whilst google searching.

Hey, Let's see some pictures of the other machines!   :)

FIRST OF ALL

:cheers:

I have game!  Got my power supply parts today from Bob, did a little work, and I have what appears to be a working PCB!!

It appears someone tried to hack around to get it working.  I have wiring issues with player buttons, messed up trackball wiring, possibly a bad high score circuit - but we appear to be up and running - the rest I can deal with ;)

I am going to spend some time tonight hopefully getting it to a marginally playable condition so I can have a little fun!  (that is what it is for isnt it).

Also - I did something I thought was pretty cool today.  My trackball bearings were a little rough - I could feel a few rust spots when I moved the ball around.  Put some 3-in-1 on them and attached them to a Dremel tool mandrel.  Gave them a pretty good spin  and they are as smooth as ....well you get the idea.



Buckethead - here are the other games.  These are early pics - cant see the sideart, but it is about 90% on both.  The one in the middle is my homebuilt Mame.



Also -- Defender

BUCKETHEAD:
Wow! Those are some nice looking machines!

I Love ZAXXON and VANGUARD.  :notworthy:

Used to play those at SKY CITY in the lobby.

When my grandmother made me go shopping with her!

Love GALAGA too!

I'm lucky enough to own it.

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for that pic. It looks like the US version. You can get silk-screened repro's for it.

I first thought it had the lighter ribbons like the mamemarquees repro I got for my Centi.

I'd be interested to see the "after" graph from the Fluke now you rebuilt the PSU. That would be nice to see :)
