Hope youre joking, because I Didnt know there was two types of PCB's... :P

There aren't.
-
Hahaha, arcade experts. ;D
Of course there is only one type, just have a feeling that you have a cockpit. ;D
-
Unwrapped another key piece today, yea....

-
WHAT ? A repro ?
;D
Ok to be honest I "only" got an original manual from the upright too....
-
wow, great project ;)
-
What project ? All we see is two SW pcb sets and 1 photocopied manual...... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Finally, today i started assembling the cockpit, pretty strait forward, not really hard.... yet.. ;D
Here she is, lets see what this odd wrapping hides...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net1.jpg)
Unwrapped it for the first time since I bought it... It has been in hiding in our garage in GB, and in storage in DK..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net11.jpg)
Pure 25" Ampliphone Godness.....
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net12.jpg)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net13.jpg)
Totally rebuild PS... nice and shiny..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net14.jpg)
Step 2, unwrapped all the pieces, pretty good condition I must say...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net15.jpg)
But wait, wass passiert hier??!!! looks like repro art!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net16.jpg)
Ok, back to the cab, a split piece of wood, what to do??
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net17.jpg)
- instead of gluing it back together, and wait countless hours for it to dry, I decided to make some exact copies... Might as well take advantage of the workshop im in ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net18.jpg)
2 minutes later, a perfect replica - even the same color:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net2.jpg)
The nails and glue that used to hold th base together gave up a looong time ago..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net3.jpg)
- so glued the pieces back together..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net4.jpg)
And used a nail gun to keep it in place..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net5.jpg)
Started mounting the rear end, tough job because you had to screw it to the frame in tuff al most unreachable places.. :-\
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net6.jpg)
Both sides done, my lord, it starting to look like something now!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net7.jpg)
Speaker-back-support-piece-of-plywood mounted :D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net8.jpg)
Right side canopy support mounted, really starts to take shape now!!

Looking good Muerto !
Nice workshop also for this kind of work :D
-
The force is strong with you! Nice :-*
-
woho, michael, this is going really fast! i thought it was COMPLETELY disassembled ...
-
Wohooooooo, it finally started. :D
It so good that you have the amplifone monitor, I compared my WG pic quality with André's cockpit and realized that the original is far better. :-\
-
Was working on the cockpit for about 3 hours today, mounted the coin door, plexi, and the speakers under the seat - and of course the "Marquee"
Eeh, forgot my camera today, so to the picture with my iPhone, sorry about that - it doesn't make the cab justice
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net19.jpg)
Still on the to-do list:
- Assemble the yoke
- Connect all the cables to the speakers
- Mount the cardboard around the monitor
- MAKE IT RUN!
-
wow!!!
-
You're looking great red-5 ! :)
-
You did good :spaceace:
-
Looking sweet!
