Hi, I'm currently restoring an upright and was wondering if you would part with that slick steering wheel? My outrun has a non SEGA wheel on it. I have a spare shifter if you want it?
Thanks Sean

Amazing work on the plastics, those primed pics look so smooth. You may of come across my OutRun86 blog being interested in OutRun but if not there are some nice pics in the Gallery section of deluxe machines. Can wait to see how this turns out.

Quoted from Gotpins: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?
A fully working unit I have seen go for between $500-800 over the past 20 years. Pristine examples $1,100+. Sadly allot of them got completely disassembled and dumped or left outdoors due to storage constraints.

Yeah, I'll PM you, we can work something out.

Bummer, my Star Wars restore just got tossed down to the basement. Be warned that this might be too. 
Time for an official "arcade restorations documented" section that's non-basement.
Figures, a few whiners are very loud. I'll have my own site up soon so it won't matter. You can post there when its done

Just wanted to say I love your arcade restorations and I think those numbskulls over at KLOV who pop a rivet over replacing waterlogged cabinets are crazy bananas.
I mean, not to use a cargument or anything but you can buy complete '69 Camaro body shells and mount all brand new parts on them, and no one says it's not a restoration.
Keep up the awesome work, I can't imagine there are many people taking arcade game restoration to this level.
Did you have the base all media blasted or something? And body work? That was the part that looked most tattered to me and it looks fab now!
Wow, what a great compliment. Thanks Lloyd
Quoted from LTG:That game got a really good home !
LTG : )
"pop a rivet over replacing waterlogged cabinets"
LOL! 
EXACTLY!

Quoted from PACMAN:DOH! Thread dropped into the basement as i was typing. The Pinside middle finger. Guess this will be the last post since nobody will ever be able to find this thread. See ya later Pinside.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/forum/restoration-showcase
and we are watching.. please continue!
A friend of mine own the Deluxe cab too (originally it was me that bought it first to save it from being junked when the local arcade closed down here, but he bought it from me on the way home 
) and its a fun game.
I will forward this thread to him.

It's not in the basement for me either. Shows as Forum » Restoration » Restorations documented » SEGA OUTRUN Deluxe Moving Cabinet Restoration
I love what you're doing here and really enjoy the updates. Please keep them coming. I'll follow the thread no matter where it ends up.
Thanks Pacman, I've been struggling to get a wheel. Your doing an amazing job on this dude, those powder coated parts look so nice. Great work on the pedal assembly, did you spray paint the springs? I need to do the pedal area next.
Nice, I wonder how many survived.

Thanks, i'll know pretty soon as it gets put back together. I may need a decent looking dash but i want to see if the spare one i have will polish out first. Besides that my shifter plate is destroyed. Cutting a new one next week. Probably print the graphics right on to an aluminum plate the clear coat it.
Quoted from sohchx:Everything is looking stellar PACMAN!!!! You need anymore parts for this thing? I may have a source
Time to paint!
I only use auto paints.
I learned awhile back the hard way that using non auto clear on white paint will YELLOW it.
Not pictured is the grey paint. I was going to just use the silver paint (wheels) for the seat too but decided to keep the seat color the same as the original.
Yes it all got blasted!
Yes, some body work - nothing major though luckily. My Space Harrier was another story.

I gotta ask. Did you actually start on this project only 6 days ago, or before that and you just started posting 6 days ago?
Because if you're barely a week into it, I'm jealous with all the progress you're making!
