Consider this a project machine although it /seems/ to mostly work now.

This is a 3D gun game which uses a CRT and a projector to create an effective 3D effect.  It's PC based, pretty rare as far as I can tell, I don't expect many were made and this is serial 001.  Music is really awesome, cool looking cab.

Details:
* Everything is there.
* The projector was broken when it was delivered to me, and I spent over £300 getting it repaired, new lamp too.
* It seems to work - it did die on me an hour after I'd got it running again today, swapping the RAM seemed to wake it back up (note RAM will need changing down to PC2100, the stuff I had spare is too fast and causes a boot warning about timings), but really the whole thing needs going over properly.  Assume unreliable.
* The guns themselves seem ok - I pulled apart all the sheathing and rebuilt them today - lots of screws are missing, they calibrate fine in test mode but aren't wonderfully reliable in game - suspect adjustment of screen/projector brightness might help.  Recoil works.
* The machine has a UPS for keeping the fans running during shutdown (including projector), it looks standard enough but it's making error sounds and isn't doing the job anymore, so I suspect this needs replacing.
* Front feet are missing from the pedestal, bolts broken clean off the weld.
* Tunnel to hold pedestal and main unit together is missing
* Wood damage to top of cabinet, sign is cracked in half and repaired.
* Connectors for pedestal have been redone and are in excellent shape.
* Includes 2 or 3 spare correct model power supplies (I thought the original had broken once upon a time, really the BIOS battery needed replacing!), and a spare faulty projector for parts.

£250 and its yours, less than the loss I'm making   Collection from Cambridge, you're going to want to tail lift this one, it's on wheels and rolls around easily but it's tall and heavy.

Machine is still available if anyone is interested - but the asking price is now £400.

Looking for a Mr Heli PCB if anyone has one they might be tempted to sell.

Bump - price now £100.

Selling my spare Missile Storm now, it's the older art type (smaller logo, silver coin door, different bezel).  This one and the one I'm keeping (later art type) are the only two currently known to still exist so it's quite a rarity.  Game is a bootleg of Missile Command.

Side art is very good both sides, coin door is in good shape and will polish up nicely altough 3/6 of the studs are broken off at the back.  I still have the stud parts if you want to get them welded back on.  Marquee has been touched up at the back, you can't tell where I've done this as it was around the edges on the black.  Bezel is very good too and holding together well.  Control panel will clean up well but an overside button has been fitted - can't tell if this was a factory hack or operator hack.  Replacing it with a black outer/white inner would make it less obtrusive.  Metalwork under control panel will need restoration or perhaps even remaking due to corrosion - it's a simple sheet with 2 folds.  Back door is missing.

Trackball has been rebuilt with new bearings, it thunks a bit on one axis due to a flat spot on the roller.  Coin door lighting and marquee lighting works (new bulbs on the door, strange flying wire types).  Power supply completely rebuilt - new line filter, caps and diodes - voltages all correct and match my other machine.  Monitor is not the original but it's the right model, original was necked unfortunately before I got it.  Picture isn't great and it's very burned, but it works.  New power cable fitted as the old was chewed up totally.  PCB is not working, all I know at the moment is it's not the ROMs, not the RAM, and I can see activity on the ROM address/data lines.  Gives a blank picture.

I've got a spare manual too, back page is missing a piece but the rest is intact.  To get it nice you'll need to sort out the rusted trim under the control panel, fix the PCB, and give it a thorough detailed cleaning.  A damp microfibre cloth is good on the sides, that's how I did the other one.

Looking for £100, collection from Cambridge UK.

The board doesn't match the schematics accurately, but there are certain chip arrangements that can be identified.  I've found the LS08/LS10/LS27 associated with VBLANK*, on the Sidam board they're using different parts of the chips in different places, but I now have a list of inputs and outputs to check.  Since I can't run this up on a test bench without unsoldering all the regulators, I'll solder some wires to +5 and GND and do the probe checks hooked up to the cab.

And then .. disaster!  My MS boardset has developed a fault.  Allow it to warm up a bit and corrupt flashy bars appear above and below the picture.  The actual game screen is unchanged and all works, it's like the game is drawing extra memory above and below the actual boundary of the picture.  I'm unfamiliar with Missile Command type hardware, does anyone have any suggestions?  In fact in test mode where only white is used (it says ram/rom are ok), the corruption doesn't really change at all, then scrolls if you roll the trackball, almost like it's drawing the data area for the inputs under the screen.
