any ideas? 8)
-
euhh a cab ??? ;D
-
It's something huge, a Star Wars Trilogy or House of the Dead?
A little clue would be helpful! ;D
-
Paul's cabinet ?
-
woa, that is HUGE - looks as if it came from paul. but then it can't be a "ninja warriors", which is my guess. oh no, wait, it has to be atari, so i have no clue :P
-
probably 2 cabs
looks a bit like a Cola vending machine though

woa, you got the millipede from paul - damn you :twisted:
joking aside, i would have loved to have that so much (probably one of the greatest pieces of art E-V-E-R, but i know that it's in great hands at your place - and if you ever decide to sell it later, you know where to find me ;)
what's the other one? CC?
-
oh, by the way: you seem to have a huge garden up there in northern germany - how about a huuuge gameroom for more atari action?
-
No no, not so huge. It looks bigger than it is really. we live here on 1000qm own land, not more. But wait, you're right, enough space for a huge gameroom for all the classic ataris... :lol:
by the way, the other cab is a battlezone.
-
by the way, the other cab is a battlezone.
wow, didn't know that paul had one as well! hope you got a good deal on those cabs ...
-
its time to bring it home:

-

Cool cabs !
congratiolations !

thanks for the compliments. I am very happy with the cabs... :D its nice to have a millipede here in europe.
awesome :-* is the millipede working? it sounded like an easy fix from paul's description ...
I do not know...
I had only time to unpack the cabs and clean to bring it in my game room. The first thing I did the metal brackets from the coindoor and the backdoor removed, next to the holes closed and then install new locks, etc..
I will test the function later. the cabs are indeed from the United States and have 110 volts. unfortunately I do not now exactly what the better way is, to either an external voltage converter like to get it here:http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380225328891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380225328891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT), or whether it is in the cab would allow them to convert the voltage switches.
EDIT: a quick look in the manual at klov let me see, that i can use a voltage plug for 220 or 240 volts on the power supply. which voltage plug was the right one, at 230 volts? I am grateful for tips...
-
Congratulations, now make more pictures! ;)
btw i love the xevious!
-
what a present for yourself. I saw the Millipede at Paul. Great piece of work

You need the blue (220) or brown (240) lug in place of what you have. They should be in the bottom of the cab ready to switch over.
-
thanks Alpha1! :)
I have look at the power supply, but but it's only a yellow switch there. no additional switches. argghh, that is no good. >:(
here a picture from the (still dusty) power supply:
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5906/1005442s.jpg)
Mhhh, what to do. Ahh! I take a look in the xevious cab, and i have found two switches on the power supply in there. the blue one was connected on the xevious power supply, the brown one was in addition. puh, what a luck, but can i take the brown switch from the xevious for the millipede? i am grateful for help!
Here the switches i take off from the xevious:
(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6858/1005443w.jpg)
a closer view on the power supply shows me that on the plug the earth's cable is cut off. :o :o :o that was not normally, or is it?
here in detail:

I guess the brown one should be ok, in fact someone once recommended to me to use the 240 V ones if possible.
I would replace that power cord with a new one (always a good idea anyway) and connect ground/earth.
-
thanks Laschek! :)
I hope it works with the brown switch and its compatible to all ataris.
I will replace the power cord before.
-
Simply check out the schematics and you know.
With moving one pin you can change a US (yellow) connector to a 240V one.
Be sure to mark it that it's for 240V now though....you never know where your machine will end up over 50 years ;)
-
yeah, or if you really want to be precise, use new brown wires in the yellow switch ;)
-
From what I can see, the artworks seem to be in very good condition.
Millipede is too nice to be stuck in a row of cabinets, you should put it on a pedestal in the middle of your living room ;D
Congratulations man!
Speaking of Paul's nice cabinets, I was (and am still) very interested in Paul's Crystal Castles (http://cgi.ebay.de/CRYSTAL-CASTLES-CLASSIC-VIDEO-ARCADE-GAME-ATARI-1983-/360308669762?pt=Automaten&hash=item53e411fd42) but the price is just... well... aouch...

Send him an offer - he is quite negotiable. At least last time I threw a lowish bid on a machine he had for sale.

Mmmh thanks for the tip Mchay, that's very tempting... I'll try that without being insulting of course ::)

at the same time I got a package from hungary... :arrow:
(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/732/img0420j.jpg)
ummmh, what is inside...? ???
-
waka waka waka, a original pacmania marquee!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2935/img0423dj.jpg)
...and here the background story:
I could remember a thread where Bruno had his damaged marquee offered for sale. I knew it had bought bela for gameroom decoration only. When I asked him whether he would sell the marquee, he immediately said yes, because it´s for a dedicated machine and not only for decoration. We then arranged a nice swap.
many many thanks bela for helping me out!
-
nice! interesting to see where this marquee has travelled. anyone care to make a map? ;)
-
...And the hungarian side of the story:
Toralf was so kind and sent me a nice Dig Dug marquee in a nuclear safe package and a super cool surprise from 1984:

Thank you my friend. ;)
-
Yeah nice catch! That Cab is brilliant. I also have one.. and my Marquee is broken, too. Need to find another one one day... when I'm grown up and have the money :D
What about the condition of the cab? Is it working?
-

I'm not too good in the map drawing business, but as I know it came from Luxenbourg to Ridderkerk to Budapest to Trollenhagen. ;D
Maybe Bruno can tell us more. :D

You can add first ... Germany :D
My Pacmania with that marquee is coming initially from ... Germany (see the 'lazy' road trip right here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=615.0)) 8)

No Bruno, I know your thread and the resto thread from superully too! but yours & ullys source for sidearts is out of stock... :'( that was why i have questioned here... ;)
-

didn't it use an atari logo joystick originally? however, you have to make sure to have a 4-way actuator (is that what it's called?), not the 8-way one used on gauntlet!
-
pac-mania was built with the atari logo stick originally. the logo stick on my cab has been replaced, so i need a new one. Yesterday I won an auction incl. 2 sticks from ebay.com, i hope they fits...
it´s really sad that the gauntlet sticks are not fit in... i had 4 of them as spare
EDIT: any ideas with the sidearts? or has anybody a good digital repro of the graphic?
-
