I still go BERZERK !
Spyridon:
Looks like cnlmoore is going to do another run of Berzerk panels. He is also going to do Frezy. He is asking for emails to get on the list.
ChadTower:
Watch out, there is also someone out there passing those off as NOS on ebay. The "NOS" panel I got is clearly not stainless steel. Fortunately the price wasn't too much higher than what cnlmoore wanted for the repro originally so I wasn't too ticked off other than the principle.
Level42:
I guess stainless steel would sky-rocket the price of this baby.
We need a much better pick though, this isn't going to sell it :D
Great timing !! :D
Oh, I opened the envelope ! Felt like....... well uhm....touching somebody never touched before :D
As expected, it was the manual in there and the drawings. It's always great to have the schematics on large size.
There were also instruction cards in both English and Spanish. (Dutch and French on the cabs now).
The really interesting thing is that the manual looks to be a very early revision. It's not like the file I found on the Aracade Archive. The front looks hand-drawn, the texts inside are clearly typewriter stuff (plus hand-written texts all over the place.
The trouble-shooting section is extremely basic (two beeps = RAM on ZPU board, that style).
Also a schematic of the G07, no full manual.
I checked, and ALL monitors work, which is a plus. On one cab, I have no 5V unregulated. Forgot to check if it was the fuse though DUH :banghead:
Will do so tomorrow.
ChadTower:
If it helps, the repro is pretty good, it looks like the screening is well done. There is no flex in the panel despite being aluminum. If your CP is trashed, it is worth the repro cost. If your CP is decent I'd say keep your original.
Level42:
Well mmm, I think at least I will replace mine. I prefer a minty CP and it's not like you can ALWAYS buy these...
I guess two of the three machines had "ok" panels, but a good share of cigarette burn. The third one (with the cover) is a goner. I just uncovered it and it's heavy damaged. (Pic a bit later).
Aluminium is fine with me, a lot lighter for shipping across the pond !
There's some huge wood behind it anyway so it won't be a problem.
