Title: Saving a Zacc Super Cobra
Post by: Belike on October 11, 2012, 07:38:30 PM

A few weeks back, I spotted a Cherry Master 8 liner converted Super Cobra on local auction site, it was just 70 km. from my office in Cegléd, so I couldn't resist.Started on a really ugly rainy day, and it didn't stop until that evening. :-\
Bad quality phone pics coming. :-*

The cab was in this small pub in a quiet street, but because of some restrictions, it was not turned on in the last 12 years. :shock:

Had to stop for a few minutes

and another 30 minutes in an abandoned road.

And here is what we have, there is a simple glass instead of the bezel, cardboard is in bad condition, and marquee cracked, but I have nice plans with this one. ;)

As you can see it has the big control panel with a small Starsplash cpo in great condition. ;)
I fired up the cab and there was a very light, vague screen, unfortunately forgot to take pics. :-\
I chose the easy way and replaced the MTC 900, it has a crystal clear screen by now, pics soon in another topic. ;)
