3m safest stripper will work good on your Atari cab.

I didn't realize what a good title it was until I played it for little bit.  I used to play the C64 version way back when, but forgot about it.  It wasn't until I started seeing some of the tank patterns that it clicked again.  I was thinking about converting the cab to MAME, but I'm really leaning against it at the moment.  It does have a JAMMA connector inside, so maybe it will give me an excuse to make an interface that fits it :).

Thanks for the cap kit references.  I actually did a search for info here and saw the color gun issue referenced a few times and was thinking the same thing :)  The Sencore rejuvenator is a pretty high-tech piece of gear.  It allows for "reactivation", which is very low-impact, up to a really heavy rejuvenation.  Only one of the guns needed the lowest rejuvenation option, while the others needed only reactivation.  I have to say though, it shaped up very nicely once adjusted.  So much so that I can probably put installation of that cap kit off for while.

So I never used it.  It's brand new and still in the bag with the list sheet. You can have it for $7 and I will pay for the shipping.

I'll check it out, thanks for the tip!  Do you know if they stock it at one of the home stores?

Ace Hardware is the only local store I have ever seen it at, which is where I bought mine. No-go at Home Depot or Lowes.

When you can crack a million high-score on one credit you are in the ballpark.  I could not break 500,000 on just my PC.  When I built the cab I finally beat 500,000.  Took a year to break the million mark however.  Game is too much fun.
