Hi all,
Considering I spend my working days in Bologna and the Week End in Milano, I can restore two cabs in the same time :)
So Bologna is dedicated to ZACs and CINEs while in Milano I have all other cabs.
Here some pics of SuperBug as I found it
-
here some other pics... I removed everything from inside
-
for sure it was in a smoking area... :twisted:
-
Nice cab and a great game! :)
Is this a fullsize upright cab? ???
-
Yes. It seems short because is quite deep but if you look at the tempest on the right you can see there is not so much difference...
-
Cool cab and cool project! I will be following this for sure!
-
Good luck with the resto, great to see some more Atari B&W love going on! These old games need to be saved ;D
-
I know still 2 or 3 Super Bugs waiting to be saved.....
-
Yes, me too, 'cause they are all at my place now ;D
Seriously I don't have the 4 cabs any more but I still have some spare parts if you need anything.
-
WOW
it should be nice to have a good monitor plexi....
and, only if in very good conditions, a CP
but mainly a plexi :)
-
Huh, did you buy them all secretely ??
-
Not secretly at all but a long time ago, that's probably why you don't remember.
Erik called for me, I brought back cabs for speleo_de and love and you even brought me back the SB control panel (that Andreas had fixed) at the first eurocade meeting we had in B&G. Does that ring a bell now? ;)
@ Vernimark: the plexis and CPs are not in awesome condition but I'll shoot some pictures for you if you're interested.

during this w.e. i'll try to fix the plexi. in case I can't reach a decent condition i'll ask you for pics :)
-
OK, no problem.
I still have some other parts so if you see something too damaged or missing during your resto, just ask :)

Plexi
First of all I removed all burns with NOVUS products but white background was compromised...
-
DIsaster!! I used a sppray paint to refill white parts!!!
-
ok ok, keep calm and run to buy a water based painting...
-
....not perfect but acceptable result. doesn't it?

No idea why, but I just got a Longing feeling for this..

I don't know man.....watching that and listening to his voice gets me all relaxed again. I highly suggest the Eurocade organization team to have a look. 5 minutes of this and all pre RGE stress flows away.....just like so....and make it happen, believe in what you can do.......there.......
;D ;D
-

It's more than acceptable, great job! :)
-
Yep, love it, makes a lot of difference for sure !
Love the Super Bug style artwork !
-
Thank you for mentioning the novus products! Just googled it, I got exactly the same problem (cigarette burns) on my walls down (Breakout clone) cab, Definitely worth a try after seeing your amazing results, thought it was doomed!
-
...you are welcome.
NOVUS is great for plexi. Remember that all 3 are necessary even if I use more often 1 & 2 only
-
inside...
-
inside everything seems to be ok
-
Ok, let's go with the CP.
these are the original conditions
-
1) I covered entire CP with a transparent film
2) I removed the film in correspondence of black parts
3) I removed most of the rust (depends on the paint you use. I use a paint can be sprayed on the rust)
4) I sprayed with glossy black all CP
-
Then I removed the painted transparent film over the other colours.
I'm not sure I'm satisfied of the result... if you look closely the panel you can see what I did.
