Post by: vernimark on June 09, 2015, 02:58:31 PM
Ok... with this restoration I'll close my ZAC period started with EYES ans passed through ASTRO WARS and QUASAR...

Actually I found this cab in good general conditions. Dirty in some parts but nothing serious...
Board was missing but I had one in my collection.

Nice. Good idea using a Tipp-ex marker.   :) Never thought of it and will be useful for me too.

But why are you closing your Zacc period? No more love for them?

@ckong
some of them were in very bad conditions  :-\ , now I need something easier  ;D

anyway this is the list of the cabinets I've to restore before making any other purchase:

Sega Space Tactics cockpit (wow)
Midway Space invaders cocktail (2)
Olympia Caterpillar (CP missing)
Olympia Vega
Midway Omega Race
Cine Armor Attack
Cine Space Wars
Cine Star Castle
Arena games Imola GP

Not in order of priority  :lol:

I can make exceptions only if I find very cheap cabs   :roll:  ...
