I miss mine too, its been pulled apart and sitting in boxes for 6 years
Quoted from robotron:i miss mine
beautiful machine
Its a MESS!
Here's what it looked like before.... 2400 sq feet.
Quoted from cosmokramer:Your restorations are always jaw dropping...I would love to see what your shop looks like.
First we brought the games over from the warehouse to the new shop.

It's done, just getting 2,3 player coin up to work.
Quoted from Paperboy:What ever happened to that KILLER SHARK?
I was champion of Rutgers in 1983.
The highest wave I ever got to was 44. Takes about an hour and half of game play to get that high.
Those decals look great.
I would love to have a cockpit but just don't have the space. Yours is going to be awesome when done. If your selling any of your stash I have a friend looking for an Atari Super Sprint .
amazing reproduction! I'd always prefer an original but if it cant be found, your repros look top notch!

to be honest, the upright is easier to play and you will score higher
it helps your reaction time if the picture is smaller, you can use your peripheral vision more and move your eyes less.
but the cockpit is a cooler experience
Ha ha, here we go again. Not biting.
Yep, you are right though, the old wood was replaced with new wood but everything else is original parts, NOS parts and silk screened side art from Atari films.
Keep an eye Ebay for the old cabinet, will be up shortly.
Quoted from Pinfactory2000:Best. Reproductions. Ever.

Right. it’s NOS stuff put into a scratch built/brand new cab.
Not sure what you mean ‘biting’.
It’s a beaautiful reproduction. Full stop. Big props for great work.
Thanks, wasn't sure if you were trolling. Some folks like to call everything a reproduction ignoring the hundreds of hours of actual restoration work just because the wood has been replaced. And i do restore cabinets as well, bondo, wood hardener, paint, clear coat, stencils, etc... i just prefer this method.

Ive seen your restores too, amazing stuff. Obviously when you put stuff in a new cab it’s a reproduction like this one but who cares. It’s beautiful.
Thanks guys! Yeah it’s been a long journey for this one. A couple of the EM projects are taking several years to complete as well but one day they’ll be done. Then probably break the next day
