Gauntlet Restoration

(1/5) > >>

drawfull:
My eBay bargain Gauntlet arrived today. Complete with a spare G1 (faulty) and GII (yes!) PCB (working) and the original manual, for £122 I think I did alright.

Unfortunately the monitor is shot, so I am on the look out for a (local) replacement. Shipping to here is joke (and I'm not saying what it cost to get Gauntlet shipped,, though it's not included in the price above as that would be rude).

A list of what needs doing:

1. New monitor
2. New CPO (cos I'm picky), although it is in good nick already.
3. New side art
4. New barrel locks
5. Repair (maybe replace) coin door surround
6. New CPO-top T-Molding (see cig burned pic)
7. Better marquee retention method, shrug.
8. Strip down and clean all controls. they feel a little sluggish although I haven't powered anything up yet.

Some pics below :)

Cheers

Are you a newbie to this? I just want to know if you know what you're talking about when you say "the monitor is shot". If "guns" in it are dead, then yes you are right. If the tube is cracked, then I guess you are still right. If it "just doesn't work", well, it could be repairable and made to look as good as new.  :)

I'm new but the glass neck has physically snapped, I don't think that this is repairable?

Thanks

SirPeale:
Only if you replace the tube.  Probably easier to replace the whole unit.

RayB:
One tip... sell or donate the frame and circuit boards to a fellow hobbyist.
