Missle Command in trash pile

(1/7) > >>

vader:
Hey guys......on the way to work today found a original Missle Command in a bulk trash pickup pile, went back home and got the truck.  The cabinet is in horrible condition so I figured this thing was trashed.  Well, plug it in and it works perfectly.  Trackball needs some love....I figure nothing a lilttle time won't fix, marquee is in perfect shape....hell the speakers still work and the coin mechs are in perfect working order along with a great door.  My question is, do I restore and build another cabinet for it or use the monitor for the machine I'm building and part the PCB and PS out ?  BTW, all the cone buttons still light up although 2 of the rings are cracked with age.  I'll post some pics later tonite....any input appreciated.  BTW, I do enjoy playing the game ocassionally on my panel

 ;D What a find......my favorite game of all time.  If it were me I would restore it to its former glory.  Hell with everthing intact souns like elbow grease may be the largest expense.  Good luck and please post some pictures  lkgj a kjdo lkaje aqlalfk a  oops sorry fingers slipping on the keyboard from the drool about finding such a beauty intact.

Depends what's wrong with it. We can't offer an opinion without pics.
