Funny enough the speaker is weirdly mounted slightly below the monitor floating in the back.

I appreciate the concern but the side art is badass and at the very least will look very cool, much better than flat black.
Also funny enough, they did leave most everything intact, even the counters on the coin door and the original cash box, including all the original wiring, they just cut any extras they didn't use in the conversion and left them in the bundle hanging out.
Isolation transformer is still there as well. Not sure what ar2-6 is and the original boards are definitely not included sadly.
But it seems pretty original otherwise haven't even touched the marquee I wouldn't be surprised if the old one is tucked up in there somehow haha it's a pretty lazy conversion job. The mess of wires alone that go nowhere is depressing

That's the coolest Skeeball I've ever seen!

Bet that sounds really great!

For art sake, go for it. If you scratch the black off with your fingernail, then you should be able to remove it. Start with mild like isopropyl alcohol, mineral spirits, goof off, etc. google search a how to do it and you will find a ton of info.

If it does not scrape off, then it's probably acrylic and your talking stuff like Citris strip. That eat through clothing, skin, etc. you need ventilation and a respirator. Needless to say, it will probably eat the art too.

Ar2-6 is an audio reg 2 board. They are common, but missile command uses a beefier version -03 (my bad, I thought it was-06). Only it and Monty Carlo use -03. So another $50-75 for it to go along no with the $150-250 for the pcb.

Most games are just hacked into wiring. Operator probably could not figure out how to tap the audio reg so he hacked in a switcher.

My wife and I moved this past December, so my arcades have been in storage for about a year now. I've been working on the basement remodel to get it finished and ready for my home arcade; almost done, maybe a few more weeks. I'm going to start bringing these back home slowly, getting them tested and cleaned; so once the basement is finished I can start bringing stuff down right away. I also still have a few games at friends houses and in my garage as well. In total I put 24 in storage. I have around 12 in my garage currently, and a few more placed around at friends places. I should really keep better track of what I have, lol.

anyone have a blitz 99 or 2000 they would like to sell? Shot in the dark here I know

That should not be hard to find. You might want to expand your search to sport station which is blitz 2000 and showtime together. If you find just a showtime, you can upgrade it to blitz/showtime for $80-$100.

Great vector collection! Tac Scan is on my want list, but the rumors and horror stories I hear of keeping that alive, scare me.

It's the weird G08 monitors that were the problem. The scan rate for the beam was faster and there was a tendency for the deflection yoke transistors to blow. After Space Fury had many monitor failures, SEGA made some modifications to keep these transistors cooler...

... by mounting the four transistors on two large heat sinks, mounting them together and adding a fan. But it isn't a complete fix. it does however make it easier to repair.

Anyone have a lead on a tested and working Cruisin World game board I can buy?

Working on my TailGunner. Cosmetics are done, just need to get the stupid thing to fire up.

That thing looks awesome! It's a great game, hope the repair isn't too bad. Luckily my cab isn't in too bad of shape, but not as nice as yours; my art has a big tear in it though; like someone dragged something along the side and ripped it.

Thanks, here's what my control panel used to look like.

The side art was no picnic either.

Imagine it wasn't. It's not the easier art to repro. Looks like it turned out really nice! As did the control panel. As always, you do awesome work!

You are definately a master at what you do. Your stuff is exceptional. I wish I had 1/10th the skill tht you have.

Chris

Wow. I haven't seen a Frisky Tom in 30 years, and they were rare when it came out. Probably even longer since I've seen an upright Tail Gunner.

When you get your website up and running, I would seriously give some thought on getting web courses set up on how you do some of this stuff.

Agreed. He's like the Chris Hutchins of arcade restorations!

That Frisky Tom is badass. Never knew much about Nichibutsu until recently, but I'm intrigued. How's the gameplay?

I've been playing a lot of qix in mame and on my arcadeSD board lately, kind of itching to find an original upright.

Anyone have any tips on strategy? My best is anywhere between 105,000 and 194,000 points. I'd love to discuss some strategy if anyone has some skill

Use slow draw..

Qix is a pain in the ass to make work, so if you find one, you might not enjoy it. I sold my cocktail and upright long ago. I would have no advice for you. I am not good at most games.

Use fast draw to create walls in the centre and then close off the area using slow draw. This will get you a lot of points in the first two rounds. You can do rthis when you get to the split Qix levels, but it's a lot harder. (watch the ad mode to see how to use the fast / slow draw for maximum slow draw percentages).

And the arcade version blows away the X in One boards / MAME versions. The arcade version plays better and has more flexability ffor the difficulty settings.

Before you say multiboards are not as good, have you played the jrok taito multi? It should be 100% exact. All his other multis are.

The only Taito I want to keep is zookeeper, and the only way I would keep it is jrok. My last real taito was frontline.

I want to buy 2 of my grail games:
Sega Outrun and Sega Afterburner
Any recommendations as to where is best to look?

I picked up a Game Gate recently thanks to PanzerFreak for posting in another thread. I had an itch for lots of dedicated arcade games but I am limited on space and pinball takes priority. This multi-cade machine scratches that itch and I am overwhelmed by the number of games it has on it. I like the size of the machine and the flipper buttons on the side of the arcade for virtual pinball are awesome. The system does have a few glitches, but overall I am happy with the quality of the machine for the money. My kids have not stopped playing it since I got it, money well spent.

I got a down vote for that?

Tough crowd, several posts after mine and folks are listing mame setups and 60-1’s . Guess the stakes are higher for Qix.

I’ve been looking for an original Qix for a decade, there’s nothing out my way. So I have to settle sometimes if I just want to play a certain game, never mind the few dozen original arcades I own and restored.

I make trees and fill in the branches on my lines, it’s worked well, I just like to see how others play as well

Good to know, I forget about the jrok boards
