I find and buy a Xevious cab in My city for a reasonable price.

Not in a perfect condition and not in a worst condition (apparently!!).
Need to remove some rust like on the coin door, a new joystick, a new control panel and a new marquee, where I can get some?

Wooah! Namco's Xevious :o One of the best 'shooter' ever made! Congratulation :)
It's one the games I'm playing the most, with Galaxian & Pac Man.
I got three weeks ago a PS3... and the first game I got was... Xevious Ressurection ::) :P But of course, nothing can beat the original Xevious ;)
You shouldn't change the side arts, they are not so damaged... let's prefere the orginal way ;)
The CPO is available in many US online shops. Try also to catch a Wico's Red Ball leaf joystick (I got them on ebay US).
Do you have the original board, what about the monitor, ... please more info on this beauty :P
Maybe you can have a look at my Xevious post right here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=63.0).
Oh, and ... what a nice price for a such game, you're lucky ;)
I'm jealous regarding the bezel... it looks more clean than mine, and there's still no Xevious bezel reproduction available as far as I know...
XEVIOUS :-* :-* :-*
:spaceace:

nice score! how did you find that game "in your city"?
-
Hi DarthNuno ;) ;) ;) ;)
I remember Your Xevious post ;D
On the cab I find the original board, but need some check: sometime the board reset itselfs.

I have find inside the cab, the manual

(http://www.uptiki.com/images/kesr47dtpf56xcrt1qg_thumb.jpg) (http://www.uptiki.com/viewer.php?file=kesr47dtpf56xcrt1qg.jpg)
I notice in the manual, is missing pages 1-3/1-4 and 3-43/3-44; any one have a copy of them?
I think it's necessary change the monitor.
It's visible, on monitor powered off, the Xevious logo.
A friend of mine suggesto to use a lcd monitor, but I try to find a 19" crt.
For the joystick, I need a 8 way?
I left a link with the set of a photo that I have done: http://www.uptiki.com/users.php?act=gallery&gal=248 (http://www.uptiki.com/users.php?act=gallery&gal=248)

nice score! how did you find that game "in your city"?
Somewhere in the south of Umbria ;) (Start searching with a "T" :D)
P.S. I find a few flipper on sale, soon I get some photos.

Congrats with your new baby! :spaceace:

Wooowww great find Flip!!!!
A dedicated Xevious cab here in Italy? :o A miracle :shock:
-
On the cab I find the original board, but need some check: sometime the board reset itselfs.
It often happens where the voltage is too low (I got that problem on my After Burner II)... check & try to increase the voltage : a strong 12 and 5V, or change the power supply.
I think it's necessary change the monitor.
It's visible, on monitor powered off, the Xevious logo.
A friend of mine suggesto to use a lcd monitor, but I try to find a 19" crt.
As always, I would say... a brand new CRT TV, and the hand made PCB -> SCART adapter, for an arcade accurate picture :-* 8)
For the joystick, I need a 8 way?
Yes, the same than the ones on most of Atari panel ... Red Ball... and leaf contact.

Etienne [NL]: 10X a lot!! ;D ;D ;D
