RESTORATION FOLLOWS
I have a couple of Midway Space invaders cocktails to restore and I have some questions for you.
1)
Both of them need a new CP or, at least a new CPO. Do you have any suggestion? I already bought this
http://www.arcadeoverlays.com/space-invaders-cocktail-control-panel-overlay-long-set/
BUT:
- actually it is similar but not the same (different pictures, fonts, dimensions); really hand made.
- vinyl is strong but completely gray and not with aluminium effect
2)
one of these cocktails need new joysticks. do you know where to buy them or if replicas exist?
3)
do you have a main board to sell me :D I've a sound board but not the main.
thank you
-
I have 1 NOS joystick, bought it from the USA, but didnt remember where. ???
I belive they accepted moneygram transfer only.
-
If you have a source for the art, i can print it on Alufoil ;)

WOW I scan it TODAY ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I think I'll try to clean the aluminium and then print the CPO an a transparent film. It can be a good experiment for future restorations...
-
Whatever you like, but if you want it printed on Alu, i need the files today, as i am bringing the stuff to the printers tomorow, or Friday.

Let's start with the resto...
No roadtrip for this cocktails, they arrived by Currier...
2 Space Invaders and one Space Invaders deluxe
SID is not mine and one of the 2 SI has been converted and has additional holes on the CP. So I focused on my SI.
It worked for a couple of days, I repaired the board (I opened a thread about that) but after one day it stopped again...
-
MONITOR
Monitor is in good conditions so I have no issues about it now
-
CONTROL PANELS
Control panels were not so in bad conditions but I decided anyway to find a solution in order to have a complete overlay.
-
I made some experiments and I decided to use (for the 1st time) decals. I bought decal paper on ebay, then I printed on it the graphic parts and I sprayed with liquid plastic.
then I cut all parts, 30 seconds in water and I applied patiently all components.
After that I waited everything was dry and I sprayed again with plastic. THis is the result. Opinions?

not too bad at all IYAM.
But i think a nice (complete) alusticker would also look good ;) :D

Art is Always welcome ;) Thanks !
I recently had the bezel and marquee recreated from photos provided by Belike.
Muddymusic did terrific work, I do not have the files, but they exist guys.
-
I might have uploaded them to the NAS, can't remember. I vectored the marquee and cleaned up the bezel scan.

I'd like to install this on my board:

thank you
