Up late surfing the web, found a Judge Dredd project 3,000+ miles away for $500? Alright, F it, let's do it.

Pros: WPC, (not ''S'') So pretty straight forward and basic board set, no funny little aux boards and junk.

Cons: Missing driver board, Sound board and CPU, and little plastic planet ball thing on dead world. Deadworld motors are always a crap shoot.

Pros: Two driver boards from a friend being acquired at Pintastic show to rebuild! I do have a coin door as well.

Pros: Everything else looks pretty much there from what I can see, and hey, I've tackled much worse. I think the bones are good on this one, and it does have the lockdown bar and glass. I've decided to pinsound this game with the music of Megadeth and do up a little decal of Vic Rattlehead to put with the alternate translight, like ''featuring the music of'' I think this is going to be a sweet marriage.

That's it for now. Shipping will be a pig. Can't guarantee when It will get it, and then get around to slapping it all together, but I will post updates here as they take place. Here are some before photos of what is coming.

If anyone has a lead (or just laying around) of that plastic planet ball thing, let me know!

For the right person, probably. I’m not too big into Anthrax myself, but I do like Megadeth, as I think they have a large catalog of underrated songs. “The system has failed” album for instance, is really solid and I plan to use a song or two from it. Since I have to go the pinsound direction as it makes more sense than hunting an original sound board, I figured let’s have fun with it, and I can always revert back to stock music in this game, which is pretty great anyways.

Okay so.., I still don’t have this yet... I guess STI doesn’t deliver!

I called STI today to see what the hold up was, lady said it was a remote location and that there was arguing over who would pick it up, that she’s been working on it for two weeks, but said for certain this week it was being picked up.
Alrighty then....

So, when it arrives, I will unearth this thing, (hopefully soon!) the good, the bad and the ugly.

Okay! Been awhile huh? Well it’s only going to take longer!

But look what finally decided to show up today. The pallet I get to keep is sweet!

Pros

Two plastics, the deadworld ball and siren over the ramp are present! A nice little bonus to find in the bottom of the cabinet. Topside and underside looks great, only things missing are trough opto boards and flipper optos.

Cons: big money boards needed, but as expected (cpu, sound, I have two drivers I may or may not rehab)

Total cost so far $1080

Goal: under 2k

Luckily had a spare WPC wired coin door that I picked up at Allentown this year for $25 -excellent.
Don’t really care if it is three coin slots!
It’s beautiful.
