[Roadtrip] Fast Ully ... eh ... Fast Freddie

[petieken]

It may even be possible to swap Fast Freddie roms in a Fly-Boy pcb, if it's possible you can buy either FF or FB.

Muerto,

I have a few Fast Freddie pcbs and about 10 Fly boy pcb sets.

The only problem is they are packed away at my parents house - which I probably won't get to until after Christmas (parents are coming to mine this year). If you don't find one before then, I can hook you up in the new year.

You're not the only one who is amazed, he's not having one spare pcb, he has "a few" ....and about 10 fly-boy pcbs...

[panic mode on] 

i got a call yesterday. it was a guy from michael's shipping company telling me they are going to pick the FF up on monday, which means: I HAVE TO WRAP THAT BABY UP!!!

alright, tomorrow morning i went shopping and brought home a lot of stuff: 1 pallet, 1 huge roll of foil, 2 tension belts, 4 boards of styrofoam and a lot of huge boxes which i got from around 5 to 6 shops i went to to ask for used paperboard.

then i was off to patrik's storage where we packed the machine up to the best of our possibilities. it was DAMN COLD in there, which made it difficult and exhausting to work. in fact, it was so cold that the adhesive tape always "broke off" after only a couple of centimeters - it must have been frozen!  i told patrik "alright, that's the feeling you have when your fingers die off!" 

it took us a while, but we're more than happy with the result!

i'm calling the following series of pictures "COLD MEN AT WORK" 







christo would be proud of us!



and finally, the tension belts. we had to drill holes in the pallet because they weren't long enough to go all the way around!



this should hold the game in place!

monday can come

[level42]

Do I hear that Berzerk scream....."Chicken, pack like a robot !" ? 

[ckong]

monday can come

You and your friend are very good men  

I am anxious to know how muerto will thank you guys.

[Muerto]

Excellent wrapping, though i would have put the band under the wood, and strapped it to itself before going over the cab...

hehe, that´s an easy answer: Ill take them to a strip bar, all expenses payed!

guess what ... patrik asked me today when we are going to bring up the next cabs - he wants to take two this time

since patrik had already asked two of his cousins to help us do some weightlifting, i couldn't say NO! 

so after wrapping up michael's FF, i also removed the monitor from the berzerk - the cabinet is pretty light now. tomorrow will be the day when berzerk enters my apartment - probably along with death race, but i'm not quite sure yet! watch this space ...

jesus, i think patrik's wife wouldn't be amused 

although it was really really cold outside and there was a lot of cursing going on everytime the adhesive tape "broke off" (q*bert would have been proud of us), we had a lot of fun, those arcade moments are also great bonding moments for friends. and NO (as always), i didn't say "bondage moments"
