Star Wars restoration - AVG board problem
RayB:
I shouldn't even be posting this here... This machine needs very little restoration. The sides are in excellent condition, the overlays are very good. Marquee bend has the usual cracking at bottom but nothing major.
The only odd thing is the yoke has an overlay that says something about machine guns and missiles, and there's even the words "headphones" and "volume" with arrows pointing down. What could this yoke have been from?
Monitor, unfortunately not working. Seller claims it plays blind. I have not yet powered it on. I just got it home this morning had nearly broke my leg in the process (got pinned under the machine!). This one is dangerously heavy and I won't be able to move it into the basement. (Wait until the GF hears about this! uh oh!)
ChadTower:
I feel your pain on moving a Star Wars... I do mostly Atari cabs and they are heavy mofos. Star Wars especially weighs a ton. Take out the monitor, the CP, and the transformer and it will be much easier to move. You're going to have to take them all out to rebuild them anyway.
I don't have a surefire answer for that overlay but I have seen quite a few Star Wars yokes with a Spy Hunter Weapons Van button in the middle of them.

Nice one !
What monitor is in there ? I hope it's an Amplifone.
....cockpits are much easier to move ;)
RayB:
It has a WG.
And I just figured out it has a Fire Fox yoke. Dilemma: Cover up rare Fire Fox yoke with SW repro sticker or attempt the ridiculous (which is finding someone wishing to swap)???
Level42:
That would be a long shot. KLOV forum or RGVAC is your target audience...
