I based that on what I've read over the last 5 years on BYOAC and KLOV forums.....maybe you are lucky ?

Duh, you guys manage to take a HUGE decision about introducing toll for foreigners (read Dutch-men) on the roads without having an official government. At least over here we have the decency to not take any major decisions when there is no official government...

Yeah, your government screws up the finances, and we can pay for it....
I think it's time to block the Schelde for a couple of months....  ;D ;D ;D ;D

But uhm, what do you guys get for a message when you try to look up that video I linked ?

It's just a music video of the famous La Bomba song...oh-my god, the word "sexy" is in there, is that the reason for blocking it ?
Or is it the gorgeous Bolivian women dancing a bit sensual (decently clothed though)....

Or maybe it's simply time for an invasion and finally put some order there ! I mean, who's going to take the decision for starting defense ? No government... :)

Now is a good time to invade indeed, the gates of the kingdom are wide open and the guards are all drunk!

It has the original wiring diagramm on the backdoor

The Asteroids cartridge I found in the 2600 ;D




Replaced it with a Defender ;D


I guess that is an Atari 2600 joystick(for the slim one) attached to the Cp. and it's working. :D
I tried it out with both cartridges, I can play the games, but the screen is green.Here is a little video:

And the Dodgem






It has a funny home made coinbox:


And the usual noob question:
I couldn't find out, if this machine has it's pcb inside or not.
Could it be that big something on the left side?

Closer pics:




I guess it is a part of the monitor chassis:

as far as i can tell from the pictures, everything seems to be there. however, it looks as if on the picture above one of the connector is NOT connected. i'm talking about the board in the middle and there the connector on the left). a connector with black & white wires needs to go in there. i can see the wires on your picture, but i can't see the connector? is it plugged in somewhere else or is it just dangling around? please take some closeup pictures of the individual boards so that i can compare.

first of all, however, i would remove that atari 2600 - as hilarious as it is, but it needs to go. then order a replacement overlay from arcadeshop.com along with a williams joystick rebuild kit. look for a williams joystick on ebay.com or ask around if someone has one and once you've gathered all of that, you're good to go. i'm pretty sure you'll have this up and running soon!

take the pics - i'll give you as much input as i can!

Thanks Ully, here we go:

Any fuses missing from here maybe?

And the joy:

I found a nice joystick here, but USA shipping only :'(

Nah, that's the batteries holder !!  Examine the PCB around it (both sides !!!) for any blue-greenish stuff....if it's there, it needs to get the "white vinegar" treatment !

Highly recommended to desolder the entire thing and get rid of it. Then install a battery hack (like the one I did for Ully).

And this, my good friend:


is a TV chassis !!!  ;D ;D ;D

I'm quite sure about this because of the two metal "boxes" on the left-side. Those contain the tuner part of the TV (the metal cover is for shielding off the circuits from any interference).

Nice old-fashioned hack there HAHA ! Only trouble is that the 2600 could be connected through the antenna input, and that's not going to work with an arcade game....(RGB output).....


That Defender had connector problems (see the soldering) very common on Williams games.
