Title: Spy Hunter - Finally!
Post by: RetroJames on September 15, 2006, 09:39:25 am

I've been trying to get one of these since ... uh ... 1983 ....  :laugh:

Finally picked one up from a local collector.


Off the bat it needs a glazz bezel, the other one was smashed. The pics don't show it but I installed barrel locks and picked up a new shifter knob already. I also gave it a scrub with sopa and water, helped quite a bit.

It is complete inside, though it is not working. I have not had a chance to crack it open and start sorting it out. Luckily SH is very similar to Tron inside, so I have a decent amount of experience with many of the connections and boards.

Good, good stuff right there.   One of my favs.  Crank the channel for "Peter Gunn" and get lost in the game.   :notworthy:

Be prepared for some nice headaches with that one, tho.  SH was one of my worst offenders for needing constant TLC.   :timebomb:

Does it work? ;)

Cool cab, Spy Hunter was also one of my favorites back in my arcade glory days.
