WOW 627,000+ plays at .25 a game... it generated over $156,000 of income!

I recently rebuilt an Outrun steering wheel. It sucked, but it made a great difference. If you type of Sega Outrun Gears on YouTube, there is a great video of a guy showing how to rebuild it. It was a game changer for me.
Thanks, i got a repro one around here somewhere.
Quoted from fishbone:Speaking of steering wheels, here's a scan of the insert (that's mostly broken or missing). Don't know if they are any reproductions available but in case there aren't, maybe this "early 2000's hi-res scan" can help making your own.

Did that to mine as well, big difference.
Also, wondering if anyone ever got their mitts on the super deluxe version of Galaxy Force? I only saw it once but it looked completely insane...
Crazy right? Probably more than that even. These were .75 a game for awhile.

man... all that metal work would run me off! can't wait to see this one progress
Its stuff like this that makes you remember just how incredible these games were and how nuts they were putting these things together for just public toys!
I know! I thought the Sega Space Harrier Deluxe had a lot of parts but this thing has way more.

Busy with an outrun cabaret myself. Had to recreate the big gear in the steering mech because it was completely broken.
Much respect for your project man, if I see how much work this must be I would think twice honestly. Will track this thread, keep them foto's coming.

What a project! Pretty cool that it was played to death. I know I chunked in more than a few quarters into Outrun back in the day. I remember playing one during my lunch break everyday back in 1988 when I worked at an amusement park. Love the driving games.
Great job on the gear, that's not going to break anytime soon

What was your tool for all that body sanding? Looks like a lot that would have to be hand sanded!
Did you sand it all down before primer too?
My arms are sore just thinking about this...
Yep, hand sanded, its too curvy and detailed to use anything mechanical on it. Yes. Sanded, then primed, then sanded again - its the only way to really see what was missed the first time around.

This is a cool project! Great work so far! Just curious, about how much does an average condition working version of this machine go for. I wouldn't mind one for my game room. How about an average condition working version of Afterburner deluxe?
Thanks! Of the Deluxe version?
Quoted from jpinb:I have 2 control panels from out runners if you can use any parts.
Quoted from PACMAN:Everything depends on condition. The moving cabinets are pretty rare - that's why I grabbed this one out of a barn. It's trashed but I've never seen one for sale in the U.S. before.
Ahh, I see. I know of one locally, I might have see if I can get it.
