CHICKEN RESTORE LIKE A ROBOT (Berzerk) *IT LIVES*
Rabbi Bob:
Unfortunately (as pointed out on the web page), the box I found had been left outside and had become home to something that chewed up the internals pretty well. I'm sure by now that if I hadn't picked it up when I did the entire unit would have been destroyed by this time, but I guess if you're a purist it would have been a better death than what I did to it.
Good luck on the restoration CT.

Actually, a real purist would restore it anyway. There are quite a few examples around here of games that were worse off that weren't MAMEd. I don't blame you for doing it - I just wouldn't do it myself.
That said I'm taking a bit of a patch approach with mine for the short term. A dedicated MAME setup is almost done - just Berzerk and Frenzy with no mods to the cab. Pics and process will be posted when it is in. That should buy me time until I can find the bandwidth to fix the original boards.

Wow, i am going to feel really bad in a few weeks...
I have a Berzerk cab coming in on trade, and i am planning on Mame-ing it :o
In my defence it is completely STRIPPED.... the only way you can tell is the worn artwork on the sides.
To be honest though, it is for classic games, no crazy massive control panel or anything like that...a nd it WILL have Berzerk runningon it...

If it is completely stripped, make it 100% Berzerk on the outside, but MAME on the inside. You can play alot of games with an 8-way and a button. There is no need whatsoever for extra admin buttons on a MAME cab.

That's pretty much what I am doing until I can get the Stern boardset fixed. This one will run only Berzerk and Frenzy, though.
