Anyone need photos of anything at Funspot?
« on: March 20, 2009, 02:28:21 pm »
I'm going to funspot tomorrow, saturday 3/21

I'm bringing a high-res digital camera to take some detail shots of a few cab
and I'd be happy to shoot whatever anyone needs while I'm there

Here is a list of the cabs they have

post soon though, I'm leaving at 1pm EST tomorrow

Oh cool! I'm in the process of getting my basement fixed up, and would LOVE some shots of an arcade for reference!

.. floors, walls, lighting would be most appreciated  ;D

BTW, I checked it out here:

... and had a fit! Now I'm SUPER-jealous  ;D

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

Well it does not look like Funspot is best known for its magnificent retro arcade interiors. It's mostly cream walls and Chinese-restaurant tiled ceilings.
Time Out had something funky:

I'm not sure how feasible it will be but I'd love to see some shots of the back of a Donkey Kong.  I'd also like to see how the bezel/monitor glass meets the rest of the cab and how the marquee sits in place.  Whatever you can grab.  I'm starting on my restoration TODAY!  Man, I wish I could get up there one of these days...

A high resolution shot of control panels specifically "wonder boy" with the jump/run button stickers and instruction cards.

Ghost N' Goblins Button Stickers / Instruction card, and lift up the dust washer to reveal the joystick art underneath.

Those A,B and airplanes / button stickers on 1943
might as well do the same with 1942

you can also browse this flickr account:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/azyxa/sets/72157594545269826/

see if you can sneak in a scanner and scan the sideart for circus charlie.. haha

I know someone dying for a moppet scan of the leprechaun control panel.. you might miss it though kinda tiny cabinet, be sure not to step on it.

Thanks!
