the restoration continues ...i switched the roms and rams between the video pcbs of paperboy and championship sprint - paperboy is up and running now. however, this is only a temporary solution, because i need to find a working system 2 video pcb (or fix the exisiting one) in order to run championship sprint later on. for now, i'm happy to be able to deliver some papers!
in order to give the control panel even more stability, the panel was originally screwed to the front. that's why i'm drilling two holes to add this extra support. since the holes are for "square screws", i'm using a chisel to make the holes square.
now on to the fun part: removing the protective layer of the sidearts
looking very good underneath
fantastic
! the two airbubbles that can be seen on the photo have been removed in the meantime! die, you b****es
checklist please:
- fix the pcb (or get a working one)- drill supporting holes for the control panel on the front of the cabinet- fix the player controls to the control panel- remove the protective layer from the sidearts - move it next to the other machines looks like i'm done with everything, so here's a couple of more pictures
battle of the systems: system 2 vs. system 1
