1983 Cockpit Star Wars ^¨^

[Hi]

The ribs run from left to right (when you are sitting in it).

SAFE measures:

Wide (left to right): 65 cm. (that is the width of the cabinet). Deep: 60 cm.

Note that the mat is running under the speakerboard.

I write too fast and this is not correct thanks André

(I do not remove enough parts actually)

[Hi]

Nice picture

One question (i have a lot of questions  )
the 2 floor cover were painted or not ?

[level42]

I guess you mean the metal strips or "steps" ?

Well......I still am not 100% sure about that. I've had mine powdercoated and it looks sweet.
However, I've also seen a lot of "blank" strips.

Anyway, the Irish strips are much nicer than the US one's. Dave from Ram controls completely analyzed mine to repro them.

i had such a lucky coincidence today, i went to visit a friend in cardiff and didnt realise the other friend who is going to paris was working on the same show, of course, i didnt have the rubber with me
fortunately my friend had a roll of about 10M with him so he said he would save you a fresh piece from that, i think the one i have is not large enough anyway.
Hi, do you have a mobile number i could text message, it will be useful for us to be in direct contact so i can contact you on the day to go to meet my friend, his days in work are not structured so it will be hard to arrange an exact time in advance, but as i say, he will at least be there late into the evening working on the show.
the rubber looks like an exact match too, better than the stuff you originally sourced. my friend you will meet has a cocktail cabinet, so by coincidence he understands what we are doing.

[Hi]

Mobile phone number sent by PM

[polaris]

cool cheers, ive asked him to keep you 70X70, i'll confirm when i know its crossed the channel

edit, good old facebook, he's cut the piece, its in his toolbox ready to get to you

The matt I have has slightly smaller ribs and distance between the ribs than is original:

[Hi]

Mine were red and no striples ...

Little stuff today on the coin door






now i must find the good painting for these parts, I was looking for hammered Black one but difficult to find on spray.

another pictures of the cab after removing the Bezel ans the rubber



the amplifone after a quick clean to see if it was burned or not

pfffffffffff !

[Hi]

First cleaning of the power brick

Fuses Holder


and the rest



one of my problems is that cables have been cut
The fist one

and the other



I think they go here but I'm not sure ? (red arrow)

Then where finding those two connector and the necessary ? what is their name, Molex 5 or 6 pin for the smaller, and AMP for the bigger is Atari Uses AMP connector ?
maybe bob roberts And/or Mikesarcade

[level42]

Yes they go there.

Let me find a pic to show you...

[Hi]

Yes they go there.

Let me find a pic to show you...

Thanks a lot !

Beginning sanding when no rain and no too cold outside.







always Looking for hammered black paint, i don't know why we could not find    RUST-OLEUM here in France, and I don 't manage to buy it by the web to (Forbidden shipping by amazon for example ?)

I found one other 'Julien' really Black and not 'Anthracite' in French (it means dark grey) but only in specific shop.


It's the Hammerite one on Spray.


edit : Just remove the only fan on the cab, for the 3 boards only, no fan on the cab for the HV board .



 
and I saw more connectors missing (2 others), ie more cable cut probably to connect the ARII , not sure of course.

(it is not difficult to unplug cheat   )

After cleaning, sanding the grill and before paint

[level42]

You going to paint the fan ??

Indeed there is only one fan factory built into the cockpit. Make sure the airflow is UPWARD (note the markings on the fan) when you install it back, mine was upside down (not much use, drawing hot air down.....)

An extra 230v/110V fan pointed over the HV and deflection board is an absolute necessity IMHO !!

Here's the picture:



The pins are (looking from behind and left to right):

Brown
Yellow
Blue
key (Empty)
Red

yes for the grill of the fan better isn't it ?


That is I was thinking about the HV board I must look for another one.

Thanks you for your answer and the pins of the fist connector.

Did you have the pins of the fist on on the picture ? (AMP 9 Pin)

yesterday early morning little clean for the cab but only inside.

As you know no power on the basement/cellar.


look at the water...  

then sanding..

Inside the cash box I uses that I decapant in french (?) very rusty inside but on the top too, I uses 2 sort of "brush".
A lot of time to have a good result.



and to remove the glue on the control panel finally 'décapant' too.


After sanding...






There are still 2 or 3 items to sand like the one on the seat, but I don't remove it yet.

another one.

to be continued..
