Gauntlet
DeLuSioNal29:
Well, here are the pics of my Gauntlet cab I just picked up yesterday. It works, but the joysticks and some buttons need some cleaning up as they sometimes don't go in the direction you want smoothly. The screen also has some burn in, but it's from Gauntlet so I'm not worried. Other than that the cabinet works fine. I still have to clean it up (it's filthy in the pics)
I was a little disappointed at the sideart, I had thought it would go all the way up and that I could scan it for you guys but to no avail. I've attached pics of the cab. I also have the Total Carnage/Smash TV conversion as well if you need any references from that cab (was originally an Atari Gauntlet).
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Nice pickup.
Clean those leaf switches. That's what I found was the problem with hitting a few of the diaganols and one of the buttons. If that doesn't work, you might want to go with the rebuild kit I described above (good luck getting it installed). Screen burn on the right side is pretty typical of Gauntlet. Yours looks to be a little worse than mine. Luckily, I don't have too much burn on the left side which is more noticeable during game play.

Almost done with Pac-man and Centipede so I should be getting to the side art scanning soon.

Got out bid on a NOS Gauntlet CPO on eBay. It went for $201.11!
