JOUST !!!!
IronBuddha:
I know no one has posted in this thread for a while but I was curious on how the Joust cab was coming along.
Level42:
It's waiting in line to be worked on. It actually works now and with the current set-up I can play Robotron and Joust. (Most important two games for me). I can only work on so many cabs at a time. At this moment the SW is getting "the full treatment". After that it will be the Meteor, Puckman, Joust.....Asterock !
IronBuddha:
Well I'll definitely keep a look out on this thread. I'm new to restoring and my first project is actually Joust.
Level42:
Since I was working on the SW metal parts I figured I could do a couple of others in "one go" so I got the metal parts from the Joust to sand them and paint them.
Well, turned out to be not so easy ! It seems the metal parts on the Euro-Joust are aluminium (or at least something else then straight steel). Also the coating was _extremely_ well applied. It has a little structure and I don't know how it was applied but it was impossible to get it off with my ex-centric sander. Only the edges would come off.....
The insides of the parts were never painted in the factory. Since there's no rust, I guess this is aluminium ?
This is going to need some wire-wheeling....
MaximRecoil:
That's definitely not a USA-style Williams Joust cabinet; it looks nothing like one. The contours are completely different, plus the marquee area doesn't protrude as much. It does have my favorite part of a Joust cabinet though; that awesome sideart. Joust has my favorite sideart of all time.
