I'm starting a new project. I picked this guy up for $10 and figured I would do a MAME conversion if it didn't work. I was happily surprised when it fired right up. It's a Targ machine with the Spectar conversion.
It's not in great condition but I can work on that. All the wood is in good shape. Some burn-in on the monitor. I really wish it had the side art. It looks like it never had side-art on it (?). The black laminate on the side is the same as what's inside the machine... If anyone knows of a source for the side-art please let me know because it looks really cool and I'd like to put it on this machine.
One thing I noticed is that it sounds different than Spectar in MAME. The real version has a lot more bass and sounds a lot better than the MAME version (missing samples or something?).
Here are some pictures of the current condition.

Needs a little TLC for sure.

Wow. Exidy sure lacked imagination when it came to control panel artwork, huh? :D

:) Yeah. When I picked it up, at first I thought someone had redone the control panel. I went and looked it up and saw that was the original design! Kinda strange considering the other artwork is nice.
