Atari 4P Football Restoration - More Artwork Panel Restoration...
RetroACTIVE:
Trackballs and shafts came in today... Thanks to Mr. Adams! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
...all said and done... with the RAM controls deal and the bearings I picked up on my own... I'm only in about $33 per unit for a complete rebuild... including balls!
I've ordered the PS rebuild, AR1 rebuild and V1000 cap kits from Bob along with two new shielded speakers... those should arrive tomorrow.
Also have some new black vinyl coming from TOG too!
Ninten-doh:
Hey, wrap up the Star Wars project first! ;D
Gold Five: Stay on target.
Gold Leader: *We're too close!*

Yeah... I have matrix errors. I'm working on it. It's slow going because I do all my soldering and stuff at work. That's all that's left to that saga... Until the sequel... Amplifone conversion!

Ok... So I started on this thing. I really wanted to just slap some new vinyl on this baby and be done with it right? WRONG!
Like all my restos.. this one is getting the FULL treatment. And it really did need it. For starters the mouse or family of mice that set up shop inside this thing made a HORRIBLE SMELLY GOOPY HAIRY MESS! I could not take it... no matter what I could have done to try and clean it...would have been a fruitless venture. Soooo.
I broke it completely down and rebuilt all but the top, front and back artwork panels and the long trapezoidal members.
I forgot to mention all of the vinyl pretty much was falling off due to moisture damage so all of the new panels will be getting a new vinyl treatment as well.
Pics coming...
RetroACTIVE:
poo..
totally rusted shafts w/seized bearings...
nearly emptied...
harness...
vinyl... ;)
... this is an embarrassing photo... my garage looks like an arcade machine exploded!
... can you find the football arcade cabinet in this photo?? there are parts of others as well :)
... its like... "Where's Waldo?"
Here is the new base... I have to get photos of all the other panels... I will do that once they are re-vinyl'd
:cheers:
