For those who don't know, this was a conversion kit for Gauntlet.

At one point I actually had an NOS set of sideart for that title laying around, but I have no idea what happened to it.

It needs a bit of work, but it's not bad.  I have to figure out why some triggers aren't responding and there are some busted springs in the yokes.

A little sanding and some smi-gloss Tremclad will get the controls back to new looking.

You gonna keep this as-is or convert back to Gauntlet?

Probably keep it as-is, unless someone buys it.

Messed with it tonight and got all of the triggers and thumb buttons working again.  Still have to troubleshoot the P2 left reverse.  I'm pretty sure it's jsut a bad microswitch.  And for some damn reason, all of the coin door switches have their trip wires broken off (easy fix).  After that, it's just cosmetic work.  Well, I guess I should replace the monitor too.

Triggers all working and credit switch installed.
