Title: Two exciting machines
Post by: Luigi on August 26, 2013, 09:16:42 AM

I have bought two new cabs for our 'exhibition' :)

Midway's Guided Missile (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8025) & Atari's Dominos (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7604)

Both from 1977.....amazing, jawdropping. The Guided Missile has a huge 'plastic ladscape' and a plexi with printed explosions and two bulbs behind them.....so awesome...I can't wait to see it running :)

Condition is good, Guided Missile is missing the feet and has some minor water damage. Sidearts are great. Controlpanels will need some clean and Dominos might need some new overlay. The black colour around the buttons for the right player are completeley gone (according to KLOV-pictures).


I didn't have the time to plug them in, yet. Due to lack of space they're now in my parent's garage. But I hope that two cabs will leave our gameroom in the near future so we can bring them in.


When I looked into the back of Guided Missile I saw a strange obstacle I have never seen before in a videogame (or anywhere else) and I thought 'WTF?'. Looks like an antenna into outer space  :D

Enjoy the pics:

Riddle solved. Laschek showed me a picture where this little 'antenna' is supposed to touch the back of the monitor tube....so I have to turn the chassis or the whole metal plate :)

Congratulations with these two lookers! I especially like guided missile a lot, what a beautiful machine that is. Will indeed be great to play this one some day.  :)

Both are cool !

I was just about to write that you need to turn the chassis, but the question is already answered.
Its indeed the grounding of the tube

i saw the same in Ully's bomber when i was working on that :
