I'm uploading a couple videos to show you how it works.
Quoted from Langless28:Just watched the video and I realized I have no concept of how these worked. Any good writeups on how these types of games functioned to show what they show?
Yep, its either a bike or motorcycle from the the early 70's.
Quoted from TractorDoc:Looking forward to what you can/will do with this one.
I am impressed that you can find these games to begin with, much less a NOS Glass for one. The handle bar covers (both the original and replacement) look like something that would have come off a bicycle of the period. The replacement one with the raised fins perhaps from a motorcycle?
Keep up the good work!
I've never played a Bally Sub-Pack but it looks pretty similar. Love the glass artwork with sharks all over the place.
Quoted from LarryB:Pacman, isn't this the same as Bally Sub Pack? Or what are the differences?
No 8 track, sounds all come from this thingamajig.
Quoted from seshpilot:Killer sounds! Is that based off a chip or 8-track style?
Cool! But be warned, these things can be a nightmare to get working 
Quoted from Langless28:These type of games are actually very cool and interesting. So analog and mechanical. Might keep an eye out for this type/ me gun game.
Thanks!
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Excellent write-up as usual @packman
Sweet! I'm not alone in here 
Quoted from PAPPYBALL:Mad Love!
LOL, me neither. I discovered it when i bought my Sega Sea Devil.
Quoted from 30FathomDave:Holy shit! I’d never even heard of this game. Looks freakin’ awesome.
I could do that but it would take considerably more time I've done it on a few in the past, i'll think about doing it again. Might be easier to just shoot video of the actual work.
Quoted from RobertWinter:I love reading all your restoration threads. Amazing work.
I have a request. In addition to the before and after pictures, I'd also like to see *what* you do to get the end result of each step. Like what process/cleaners/polishers/tools/etc did you use to clean the buttons and coin chute. Stuff like that.
More details! And keep these threads coming!
LOL!! So true!
Quoted from rufessor:The Oompa Loopas don’t like their pictures taken!!
Its actually FORMICA. The art is screen printed directly to the cabinet.
Quoted from RCA1:Is the cabinet painted, or is that some sort of laminate?
(Awesome work as always!)
Used an ultra fine wire wheel/brush. With a fast drill, not a cordless.
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:What process did you use to clean the speaker grill?

Yeah, its pretty time consuming but i'll try to throw in some more tips and tricks.
Quoted from RobertWinter:I'm not saying you should detail *everything*. I imagine documenting these threads already takes a lot of time and effort. Just a few tidbits/pointers on certain things here and there would be great. It's always nice to learn wherever possible.
Ocean floor as clean as its going to get. Just used water, don't want to risk using any chemicals on these. The colors are a bit faded from the black lights but not much can be done about that. Only option would be to hand paint every section with florescent paints. Check out the orange mushroom underwater city.
Thanks! I'll keep putting them up, until my back gives out anyway
Quoted from kuelman:Much love here I don't always comment or post all the time, But your restorations are some of the best post on this forum.
I love seeing the restoration and repair threads here.
Replaced the spinning bubbler motor. Was 7.5/9.1 RPMs before. I had a 10RPM motor from China on hand - close enough!
This spins a canister that has random holes poked in it. Inside the canister is a bright light that projects "bubbles" onto the scene below.

Ok. Replaced the Caps but still no sound!! Suggestions?
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Depending on their value and size of the modern replacement part you may be able to tuck new ones inside the chassis. "Usually" caps like that don't totally fail. They will slowly loose their capacitance but will still work in a circuit with reduced efficiency. If you have totally lost sound the issue may be elsewhere.
