One month ago ....
Here what I've found ... (Vicenza - Italy):
sorry ... seller's photos, not great quality:
Original Bally/Midway TIMBER cab in Italy!!!!!! :o :o :o
(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7414/timber001.jpg) (http://img263.imageshack.us/i/timber001.jpg/)
and complete:

Tapper sideart ? ??? Yep ... from Klov:
All dedicated machine housings were originally Tapper cabinets. If you peel away the lumberjack sideart you will find original Tapper sideart underneath (we are not advocating you try this, however!).

only one side with Timber arts ::) :-[ :'(
(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3283/timber004.jpg) (http://img259.imageshack.us/i/timber004.jpg/)
and working ..... no no no ... unfortunately the Timber PCB has serious problems (no sprite, bad sound and movement problems :?)
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9130/timber005.jpg) (http://img829.imageshack.us/i/timber005.jpg/)

And ... today inside the Scr33n's house/workshop :P:
(No roadtrip story .... the seller has delivered the cab :-* :spaceace:)
The cab empty and ready for a full resto:

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW !!!!!!
Congrats !!!!!
-
holy macaroni, holy cow, holy smokes, holy WHATEVER :o :o :o
you lucky SOB - i never thought i'd see a TIMBER over here in europe - what an incredible catch, i totally envy you ;D one of my arcade collecting goals is to get the "mustache guy games" together: timber, tapper and domino man. so far, i've only aquired one (domino man), but that's better than none, right? btw, i thought you were out of room ;)
good luck with the resto, that machine is already looking fabulous as it is ... well worth another WOW!!!
oh, i forgot: how did you find that beauty? was it expensive? looks as if italy is the place for some pretty cool cabs ...
-
Great catch realy love the mustache man games my favorite is still domino man but timber is also awsome.
Close up of the type plate please ^^ would love to know if this is a original import ore not.
Hope to finde a williams game some time all of there games i know are awsome!
-
:o :o :o :o :o

Congrats on the latest catch screen !
looks very cool as it is, i can imagine how it looks after your restauration :spaceace:
Goodluck with it !

congrats - definitely looks a whole lot better and more complete than the one I was offered some time ago.

You may be able to find NOS Timber art for the side you are missing.
Also don't pull your side art off until you have seen the quality of any repro art - you may get dissapointed in it and then you'll be stuck with a cab without any art at all.
I would put the side with no Timber art next to another cabinet so you cannot see it and just sit and wait for a NOS side..

Scr33n,
Can you tell me who owns the Taito cabinet in the background here?

I don't know what i must think of this cabinet. IMO the art is rather ugly but there is something special about.
I can't exactly say what it is, maybe the original theme?
Nevertheless you are doing a great job restoring it.

sadly i have to agree whit you. Its just the tapper bottem art is realy nice but the timber pice dont seem to fit nice. Of course this is midways falt for onli making converting art.

Another masterpiece in the Scr33n Hall of fame!

As always a great work!
Hey, did you manage how to fix your PCB or are you using MAME on your Timber?
-
OK guys ... and finally Timber cab resto is finished:
(note: the coin door is in it's original condition - great condition for a 26 years old coin door - only a little rust on coin reject ... but I can live with that ... for the moment :wink: ;))

that is another AMAZING job you did there, max! well done!!! i'm officially jealous, but you totally deserve to be the owner of that cab.
of course the question has to be asked: what's next? i assume you still have space for 2 or 3 cabs, right? ;)

Very good job! It looks almost new :o ...are you sure it's not a scratch built replica? ::) :P ;)

Unfortunately the PCB is full of bugs (sound problems - sprite problems etc.... :?) - no money and no force at the moment to fix it :-\ :-[
MCR II is a pain in the ass to fix !!! :evil: :evil: - remember Gyruss ;) ;D ;D
