So, I've given up on getting an original Pole Position, after not being able to find one locally, and after hearing all the horror stories about being able to keep it running.
I'm planning on using an old PC (got several lying around) and ShifterMAME.
So far, I have bought a control panel (steering wheel and shifter intact), a gas pedal, glass bezel, and marquee. Pics later.
Also have an over / under coin door.
I need to find plans / dismensions for the cabinet, and I also need to find that plastic "cockpit" piece.
I plan on buying the full sideart from This Old Game, unless someone has any better ideas.
:cheers:

this sounds cool...I'll be watching this thread. Good Luck!

This does sound cool. I will be watching also. I never even heard of shifitermame :lol
Have you looked at Gozers 3d sketchup model? Not sure of the accuracy of the measurements but it s a place to start.

Ahh, thanks for that link. I will take a look!

Haha! I knew you were up to something. :)
Glad to see you're taking matters into your own hands! So exciting! I'll be watching in on the progress for sure. :cheers:

Picking up the glass bezel and marquee from the post office on my way home today... :cheers:

Yay! :cheers:

Haruman- if you can give me a call or PM me a phone number I can measure the cab for you over the phone.
This way we can make sure you get every single measurement accurately and all at once, cause I tend to ---fudgesicle--- up a lot. :lol
I pulled the cabinet back out last night and I'm ready, I will be available this afternoon for a while, and on Sunday afternoon after 3PM CST.

Could I make you a diagram with the dimensions I need, and you fill it in at your leisure?

Sold the machine today to make room in the shop. Haruman, I waited for you since the 25th of February but never got a call, a number or an email. :dunno
Sorry man. The machine is now with another collector, though he is a fine human being. He has agreed to fill out your spec sheet should it ever reach me. :lol
Take care...
