Joust: is this machine original?

[baritonomarchetto]

Hi all,

i have the opportunity to buy a joust, here... in Italy 

I only have three photoes taken by the seller, but i cannot state if the machine is original or a good copy...

 







The only things i can state ATM are:

- the cab is in good shape
- the CPO artwork is a little used (is it original? it looks different from the images i can find on the net  )
- some wood work has been done internally
- at some point in it's life, it was converted to a joust 2 (the monitor is vertical, but it should be horizontal)

The cab doesn't work, but the seller says that only the wirnig and the power supply should be changed...

Yes, it is  European build 

Another picture, similar than the one you can have :



If the price is nice, go go go

note that the side art is not the same.

Yes I've got one of those as well ! And yours still has the original Marquee !!! you will need to scan it

Well if the Joust 2 board still works you could make Ully a happy man with it.

I'd definitely convert it back to an original Joust using this:

The side art is different in color but NOT in size luckily.....but it looks your sides are still in excellent shape, although the picture is a bit out of focus.
You also have the original buttons and joysticks !

Someone from Australia was once going to vector the marquee....but it never happened

indeed you would! i'll be reassembling my joust 2 over the course of the next week - let's see what happens when i turn it on. but in case you decide to get the joust cabinet and convert it back to the original game, you have a definite taker for the pcb!

not that f*** again! he seemed like a decent guy at first, but then he got caught in lies and promises - world of arcade reloaded

Nice to see i could help all of you two with only a catch  

The seller told me that the pcb works, but he is not a collector, so joust or joust 2 makes no difference for him (in other words he don't know what PCB is in).

i will keep you updated (unfortunately i am too buisy in this days to go and see the machine)

PS: how does the multi williams costs? If it's too expensive i am good on MAMErizing cabinets
