Title: 1943 project
Post by: arcadefever on July 08, 2006, 02:13:46 pm

:D  i just took a few days off, and decide to finally restore my 1943.
i got that cab 3 years ago for $100, but the art of the CP was in very bad shape.

the CP as also 2 big figthing stick, ugly buttons, burn and discolor plexy and a very old monitor.

i bought a new CPO on ebay, bought some plexi ...and this is the result:

OLD 1943:

First i change the monitor  :(  sad coz it has been inside sins 1982  :shock: but the burns on the screen are to much during the game play...

that cab look great now !!! i'm going to get the "mike double jamma adapter" and add "1942" by pressing player 1 and 2 at the same time, i will be able to switch between both game....

the perfect old school shooter reunion... 1942&1943 ....

Very nice, but why didn't you fix the control layout?  Player 1 will hit player 2's hand when trying to Bomb with the B button.
