Title: a little restoration on Playchoice10
Post by: WhiteComet on March 22, 2008, 02:30:07 pm

ok... while im trying to reproduce my Karate Champ cabinet, i thought I would get my Playchoice10 machine out of storage... and tidy this up!!

I need help on tracking down some buttons (the top row select buttons)... there made by 'Unimax UK'.

Can anyone help me out on location or someone who has some for sale?

That's not a switch I've ever seen on a playchoice.  Can you take a pic using Macro mode?  Probably a little flower icon on your camera.

The original I believe was a cherry or licon like the lit up Atari buttons, but not lit up.  This may work or be made to work if you can't find one.

ok new picture up.... the button was made for the Brent Leisure Playchoice 10 Super De-luxe model (UK) there for im guessing they would have used UK parts... the control panel buttons are just as odd  ???
