Anyone had a worse condition Arcade Machine than this and Restore it?
As this is what I have to work with.
I believe there aren't many of these machines over here in the UK any more, Only one person I know of has one and that was imported from the USA
This is totally different build to the USA version, and has UK colour coded wires Brown, Blue and Yell/Green. PSU is Hantarex and the monitor cables suggest it was also Hantarex. Wish I could find a another picture of the same one or arcade flyer
Which is the reason I want to save it, as I've not seen another and the machine looks cool with Crossbow on the front
Anyone on here with a machine the same as this? and not USA model
I can piece most of the main bits together to use as templates I hope, and most of the metal is still ok, even some of the wood inside and the monitor bezel survived
Some other guys had taken the gun and control panel, but I have a gun now and I am getting the control panel back for the machine
Shame someone stole or broke the marquee and they deffo smashed the monitor glass
This was spotted on the internet, still having the Crossbow gun on it, the guys up the that way saved the Gun for D's Crossbow Electrocoin machine they picked up over on Jamma+
Greedy Op thought he had a chance to sell a Crossbow gun he had, well I bought it, yeah it was abit over priced but worth getting I thought
Searching the net for more pics of this old place where the machine was located, in 2007 is was pretty much complete, apart from the Coin doors and monitor
Pretty strange seeing pictures of the place it's in, then being there in front of it, wondering if I can get it out of this building
It has suffered bad with the roof of the building half missing, but the original pcb was still inside
My new extension is getting close to being finished so while I have some space I shall start working on rebuilding the cabinet
The Building it was in
in 2007 the machine looking quite nice
By 2008 from the pics found someone has smashed the glass
2010 and more damage to it, marquee now gone and speaker board hanging down
2012 and some gits ran off with the Crossbow, but for the good of another machine
So by the time I get to the machine it's looking slightly worse now the Control Panel has gone and there is abit more Damage to it
Like a muppet I never took a camera with me, or have a decent phone, so I doubt the pics I took on that will be much, however by the time I had managed to move the cab, which is piled on a load of crap and leaning to the side, so had to try and turn it round to get on sack truck, everytime you tried to move it, bits just came off. What i didn't know at the time, was all the plaster from the ceiling was in the bottom of the cab, which was making it weigh more and with the damp wood it was a nightmare, I must looked like I had a Fever, coming out of this Old Fever Hospital with the amount of Sweat pouring down my face.
All the ceiling plaster in the bottom of the cabinet weighed 12kg, adding that weight while I tried to move it
By the time it was back at the Van, well it didn't look much better than it does now
