Hi All
I have recently acquired a Sega Outrun dlx upright......Now this cab has seen better days, it was sited for years at a beach side pier until quiet recently.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00276.JPG)
On closer inspection the damage to cab is clear, T molding has gone from one side, side art is tatty and worse still, there are cigarette burns on the plastic bezel and the control panel is cracked and lost its color.

Well there is at least 20 years worth of dust, and a dead spider plus a beautiful web near the monitor.

It looks like the operator must have put a new psu in the cab and done some quick re-wiring to the PCB..... What a mess!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00343.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00242.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00344.JPG)
There are cables in here that don't connect to anything!!!
The force feedback motor does not work ) :
But the steering wheel , gear shifter and pedals all work..... Phew!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00296.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00376.JPG)
I decided to hit the dust buster ( a quaint little piece from the 1980's)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00302.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00303.JPG)

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00314.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00259.JPG)
New problem......No Sound, the original owner said that a wire had probably came out......???
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00281.JPG)
I find a cracked board inside.....I think it’s probably the PCB itself.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00294.JPG)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00295.JPG)
I'm making a decision to either repair the original parts of this game or strip it out and replace with a Pc running Mame!
Next step.... remove all the parts and strip the side art off and start the repairs to the cabinet.
I'll post some more soon

Ouch... :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00369.JPG)
... what happens to that poor cab' ??? It won"t be easy to fix such damages. I wouldn't use wood filler for such repair ... I think it would be better to remove this wood and replace it by a reproduction of the part.
There is a good example on the arcadecontrols website (click on the picture) :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/base_repair_0004.JPG) (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49927.0)

Well, new Sega part replacement from eBay, now maybe the sound may work now!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00476.jpg)
And out with the old cracked one.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00478.jpg)
STILL NO SOUND FROM THE GAME.....ARHHHHHHHH Must be the PCB!
Time the strip out all the internals this baby is getting Mamed. So lets start by getting rid of all the wiring to the pcb and just keep the essentials...........thats better
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00480.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00483.jpg)
All of this!!!!!!!..................is for the skip
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00484.jpg)
And the main board is up for spares......bye bye
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00496.jpg)
Stay tuned

Now its time to remove the control panel, shifter and steering wheel!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00485.jpg)
Notice, the rocker motor to the left....... seriously industrial
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00486.jpg)
Disaster strikes!!!! The last screw holding the steering wheel has rusted solid, I tried loosing it WD40, but it would not budge. I, many of my friends tried too but we could not even move at all, and the tamper proof screw was becoming rounded..... Arggggggg if I can't get that out then I can't take steering wheel off or the control panel, It had to be drilled out.....a nervous half hour and the screw head finally gave up.... I was also able to remove the whole rusted screw too..... Phew!!!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00569.jpg)
I think people had spilt a lot drinks over the years on this steering wheel column, totally rusted, but useable!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00561.jpg)
The rest of the bits that came off!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00562.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00563.jpg)
I have removed the control panel and steering wheel only to find more dirt and dust, some more cleaning to be done I think!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00557.jpg)
Hang on! What do I spy there........?
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00565.jpg)
Its a 20p from 1987, how did it get there????
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00564.jpg)
Next thing to do is, to remove the monitor....... To be continued
-
HELP HELP HELP!!!
DOES ANYBODY HAVE OR KNOW OF SOMEBODY WHO MAY A GOOD CONDITON OUTRUN DLX UPRIGHT CONTROL PANEL
IT WOULD BE MUCH APPERCIATED!!!!
GIDDYGOON

After cleaning as best I can all the dust off, its now time to remove the glass, bezel and finally the monitor
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00575.jpg)
The monitor on this cab is front loaded, very easy to remove!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00578.jpg)
I also at this point remove the last of the control panel and the pedal assemble
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00580.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00582.jpg)
Phew! Monitor successfully out without dropping it, now the cabinet is almost no weight and can be moved around easily
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00603.jpg)
The monitor also needs a dust down with a small paintbrush then the dust buster!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00604.jpg)
Right its time to start repairs on the cab!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00608.jpg)
Lets lay the cab down, which is easy now nothings inside it!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00004.jpg)
Decision time, do I cut the bad section out or treat with wood filler????
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00008.jpg)
I was advised by a few people including Bruno (I should have listened) not to fill the above, but because I find hard to even put a saw near an original cab I decided to use wood filler
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00012.jpg)
I brushed off all the dead and loose wood then treated the area with wood hardener..............which you have leave for 6 hours to work so I decided to clean up the dusty ventilation fan and de-rust the steering wheel column which came out better then I imagined.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00001.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00010.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00011.jpg)
Six hours later or so I started to fill, now this is a big area but I went mad trying to cover the area but it was so deep that I had to use more wood filler. This was the first time I had tried this so it was a bit scary!!!
When it had set I tried to sand it...............this stuff sets really hard, now I know that’s the point but Evan trying to use an electric sand didn't do much to get the level down.....!!!!!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00013.jpg)
It’s a nightmare! I have put too much on, I can't shape or anything.......it looks like a big piece of gum stuck to the corner of my machine..............disaster I try chipping it down with a chisel and a huge piece came off with some of the dead wood.....Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Time to just cut the bad section off with the filler stuck to it and makes a reproduction piece!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00014.jpg)
This was easy then I expected and not that painful, I have secured a new reprodution piece with wood glue and some hidden screws
Now all I will do is wood fill the gaps!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00015.jpg)
Stay tuned (Giddygoon)
-
It must have been a terrible feeling to see all the wood filler mess and not being able to sand it. :-[
I am worried about the same thing on my very broken Dragon's Lair cab.
Good luck, looking good so far! :)
-
Thanks madsjm!
I will have to do some more wood filling soon but not as bad as that, Why don't you post some pic's of your Dragon's Lair Cab!
-
Hey, great work on this :arrow:
[img]https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00015.jpg[img]
Like Madsjm said, too bad for the wood filler :-\ I know it is very expensive :-[ But now, you follow the right path :)
:-*
-
Hey, thanks Bruno!
By the way Bruno, any tips on the best way to use wood filler on Arcade cabinets?? you know, how much to mix etc!
these more wood filler action coming soon!
-
Now the replacement part is in place, I use wood glue and some screws to secure the piece in place then I use wood filler to fill the gaps because there is going to be a lot of wood filling and sanding. I decided to up the anti with a more powerful sander too!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00007.jpg)
Suddenly things are much easier!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00008.jpg)
Rounding the shape Just like the original!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00009.jpg)
As you can see in this picture, I cheated and knocked in a few nails in too just to give the new reproduction part a bit more strength these will be painted over so you won't notice them later.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00010.jpg)
Now, the other side (Sorry bad picture)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00039.jpg)
More water damage, not as bad as the other side its manly on the surface, so im gonna use wood filler rather then making another reproduction part!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00041.jpg)
Somebody took a bite out of this machine!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00042.jpg)
A large chip near the marquee too, this is the bit I really want to get right........ I’m really nervous!!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00044.jpg)
First of all, using a wire brush I get rid of all the dead wood then treat the areas with wood hardener and wait for six hours or more before applying the filler. I use a piece of cardboard to keep the rough shape and wait for the filler to dry!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00045.jpg)
Other areas treated with the filler!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00047.jpg)
With the wood filler, I learned that its best to build up the shape bit by bit, it takes time but you can get the correct shape!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00046.jpg)
Once the wood filler is rock solid, I then chip away at the excess using a chisel, being real careful this time! Then I use the sander!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00056.jpg)
You can see in this picture where the wood filler, which is in white and the wood, meet, again more shaping with the sander!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00055.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00058.jpg)
I also had to try wood filling the foot rest area, which had been badly worn down over the years. I use a piece of card again to retain the original shape!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00059.jpg)
I did the same for the other side too!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00063.jpg)
Using a smaller sander I shape back the cabinet foot!
Well, all the filling done, I stand the cabinet upright again worrying that all the wood filling on the bottom would crack off as I put pressure on the bottom corner of the cab but its solid as a rock and im really pleased with the result!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00068.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00067.jpg)
Next, primer the cab and paint it!!!
Update soon!
-
Good progress Giddygoon. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your restoration!
Alex

Very impressive Giddygoon ! You're really doing a great job, congratulation ! Can't wait to see what's next :-*
-
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00062.jpg)
The finished foot ends!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00081.jpg)
And the marquee repair!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00082.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00084.jpg)
Preparing the cabinet for primer
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00088.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00089.jpg)
Primer Time, Yeah! I decided to use a spray rather then an oil based primer because it set's in 15 mins and Im only treating the areas where I used wood filler.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00090.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00091.jpg)
I manually sand the areas until smooth then I add more primer
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00094.jpg)
More preparation to mask areas before painting
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00095.jpg)
Time to start painting!!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00096.jpg)
First coat of Black satin via roller, I tried painting down strokes followed by across strokes
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00097.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00098.jpg)
I waited till the first coat was dry and then added another coat........waiting for wet paint to dry........zzzzzZZZZZZ
I also painted by hand some small areas with a paintbrush....it works too!!! (Got that idea from Bruno)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00106.jpg)
Hours later!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00099.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00102.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00105.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00110.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/bis/DSC00111.jpg)
I'm very pleased with the result and the cabinet repairs have vanished!!
Next, T Molding
-
You're doing a very good job on this cab'.
It's amazing to see what we can do for the love of his favorite games :)
Once again, congratulation... You've done the most complicated part of the restoration. 8)
-
Great work :)
If you need a new MAP print out, I am working on one at the moment (See below) If you do need one let me know the size and I can have it ready for you to have printed.
I am putting mine on the top of the cabinet, I noticed yours in on the bezel and might be a different size (I just need width and height)
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll124/Atari_Fan/Other%20Artwork/OutRun_Upright_Map.jpg)
Let me know
-
Thanks Dexter!!
I, already have a nos Outrun map, but I was wondering weather you can get a scan of the front stripe sticker from an Outrun upright and do a high resolulotion re-print????????
Let me know!
-
As there were a lot of different Out Run cabs, do you have a small sample to show me ?
If there is nothing to it, I should be able to create a vector in no time (higher quality the better for the sample)
Oh, and here is a better pic of the map:
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll124/Atari_Fan/Other%20Artwork/OutRun_Upright_Map_2.jpg)
-
Hi Dexter!!
Yeah, The Outrun cab is a UK Sega dlx upright cab!
I can't post pics on here, but if you email me Johnnybegoodalright@hotmail.com
I can send you the only picture I took off the original before i peeled it off!
Thanks again
-
Something like this ;D
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll124/Atari_Fan/Other%20Artwork/OutRun_Show.jpg)
I've only spent about 15 - 20 minutes on it. I am thinking I might vector it (time depending)
-
Its time for the router!!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00173.jpg)
I'm using a 1/4" bore slotter, which is adjustable
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00174.jpg)
Then I just line it up with the original T-mold trench and lock the router
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00175.jpg)
I have to re-cut the trench filled by the wood filler
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00178.jpg)
It’s a job best done in single sweeps and always let the router spin down in the trench don't pull it away to early or you will rune the cut!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00176.jpg)
I bought about 40 feet of 3/4" of black T-molding from UKt-Molding.Co.Uk perfect replacement for the original that was missing or damaged. Using a hammer wrapped in a cloth the t-mold is put into place.
For sharp or tight corners I cut a little piece out, this is example from the Original Outrun t-molding
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00192.jpg)
Here’s the T-molding in place
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00179.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00180.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00181.jpg)
This is the under side of the Cabinet, I used some wood glue and two small tacks just to secure the t-molding although it slotted in perfectly
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00187.jpg)
Also did the same with the front foot
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00188.jpg)
Outrun cabinet ready!!!...............GO!............Check point!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00189.jpg)
Very happy with the restored top right corner
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00190.jpg)
And the repairs on the front step
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00191.jpg)
I could not resist
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00193.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/DSC00194.jpg)
Next update soon!!!
-
Looking real good!
-
You're doing a very great job on this :)
-
Awesome job ! Can't wait to see it finished :D
-
Looking Great!!!
I think you can go to "My Ebay" and set a pre programmed search to look for you a control panel for your Out Run.. Give it a shot!!
Looking foward to more progress! Keep up the good work! ( I remember the Out Run sitdown model, I played it alot when it was new in 1988! )
-
Well, thanks everyone for the encouragement and info!
Now while I was repairing the Cabinet, I also have been searching hi and low for spare parts as the originals suffered from cigarette burns or were just worn out. I was really lucky, it just seemed that while I have been doing this project loads of people had parts or pointed me in the right direction so I managed to find an Outrun Control panel, bezel, steering wheel (with emblem!) pedal ensemble, accelerator pedal.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSCF3975.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSCF3965.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSCF3970.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00581.jpg)
I also bought a Super Monaco accelerator pedal, I saw it on a flyer for the stand up monaco cab and it looked the same as an Outrun....... sadly it fits but was too long.... it looks good though, but useless.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00489.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00493.jpg)
I also bought a new Outrun marquee..... Looks great now that top right corner has been repaired
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00200.jpg)
I was able to find a NOS outrun Map (what are the chances!!! ) so I stuck it on the replacement bezel.... then put the control panel, steering wheel and Monitor back in place.
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00197.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00201.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00285.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00286.jpg)
Also new pedal assemble in place and out with the old!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00583.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00287.jpg)
Almost finished, now just to add reproduction side art. I ordered some repro art from Mamemarquee.com
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00004.jpg)
The repro is based on a US Outrun cabinet so its just slightly different.....but I could not find anybody that did a UK version.....its only slightly different, so I took a chance!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00289.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00290.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00306.jpg)
I also found while looking for Outrun side art some NOS Dragon's Lair II side art so seeing as I was in the process of applying Side art to my Outrun cabinet I thought I finally apple the side art to my DL II too (which never have had the beautiful side art)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00291.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next/DSC00292.jpg)
Well I'm very pleased with the restoration so far just need to wire it up inside and just sort a few more details............More pics soon
Time to bring it to life!
-
Beautiful restoration, keep us posted.
-
Congratulations !
Your Outrun is becoming like new. I see you have also an Atari Dragon's lair, it is working with the original player ? It looks great too.
Bye,
Matteo
-
SWITCH ON................BANG! No.........it works!!!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next2/DSC00006)
I also replaced a few bits on the gear shifter too!
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/giddy/next2/DSC00049)
Very Pleased with the finish! The sound is running to original speakers and a Pc desktop subwoofer, you got to hear.....it really rumbles

I installed a PC running a 3Ghz wired to Ultimarc Apac, once wired up the pedals and steering and configured, I can expand on the fun by not just running Outrun but other great driving games too. I decided to use the AtomicFE front end, it easy to use and looks good.

I still need to adjust the calibration for some games but most of them are quite playable. Virtual Racing is great! But I'll finish this off with some more pictures of Outrun the original game which plays very well. A lot of people tend to slag off Mame or using emulation but I have already spent loads of money on PCBs, Laserdisc players that die or boards loose sound or graphics, I really think Emulation is very close these days and if you have the correct video output and set the monitor sizing and color correct most people can't tell, Suits me and Its more reliable..... Outrun lives on renewed

...once wired up the pedals and steering and configured, I can expand on the fun by not just running Outrun but other great driving games too...
Did you wired the 'Shift Gear' by the way ?
There is a problem with Out Run Shit Gear & mame ... Regarding the hardware, it can only be 'Low' or 'High'... but mame doesn't work in that way :-\ For Mame you can assign a button for 'change gear', but not for 'Low gear' pressed... What did ya do on your case ?
:-*
-
Hi Bruno!
Yeah,
The gear Shifter issue and Mame! Your right Mame expects two key presses for Hi and Low gear but there is only one micro switch in the gear stick, Well I just configured the same shift up for both Hi and LO, it means that you have two shift it up twice to move from Hi to Lo it works ok.
I know another chap who just installed another micro switch in his Outrun but Im fine with my set up and the other games work fine with too! is that how you have your Outrun Turbo set up??

;D ;D ;DGREAT JOB!!!! ;D ;D ;D
GIDDY thanks again for the marquee!!!!

Hello, this pcb has nothing to do with the sound on your cab :ghost:
It is made to control the motor shaker when you drive and have an accident with the car. The motor will shake the driving wheel and shake the cab.
Same ones can be found in after burner cabs.
Most Outrun pcb have a suicide battery, that with time will take out the sound :roll: i know it suck :(
Nice work on the cab by BTW !!!!

Yeah you're right: this sucks big time. pcb's killing themselfes, I never did understood why, but I'm sure those big companies had some kind of dark reason why. Did they foresee us, the savers of the arcadegames? If they did, strange way of thanking their heroes... .

I totally agree... My Turbo Out Run pcb died in the same way :battery suicide... ??? :-\

Sorry it's been a long time, but I've been quite busy with work :-\
Anyway, I have since found out that the Out Run logo sticker has been stuck over the top of the diagonal lines, but I've managed to produce this (looks good if I do say so myself)

Anyway let me know what you think.

Well, Amazing Dexter!!!
So many people are looking for this hard to find sticker!
I have taken a short movie showing the Outrun machine in full swing, check the link below:

I'm very pleased with my machine!!!

hey any chance you could do the stripe without the outrun sticker in the middle?
cheers smythe
-
Yeah I think I do that this file. I'll check and PM you
-
amazing.
i dream of having a racing cab, perhaps a chopped down naomi outrun2 cab that runs MAME through A-Pac like yours.
-
Helloooooooooo Giddygoon...
are you still around??
recently i went ahead and tried doing something similar, but running into some problems with my a-pac and the pedals.
steering works great, but for some unknown reasons, i'm not getting the pedals to work right... it either on or off, and not getting all the varying degrees of an analogue controller.
any help?? ???
here's the steering only with no problems:

Hi, Dexter. Those graphics look fantastic however they are rather small. Could you please pm me or send me links to high resolution or vector graphics of the map, stripe and oval if possible please?
Are there any tips on the size or the best printing process and material for putting onto the cabinet and bezel? What is the proper name for easy peel stickers?
There is a very large scan of the Map made in 2003 on this site but it is grainy:
http://arcarc.xmission.com/Arcade%20by%20Title/Outrun
outrun_Decal.jpg (1.9Mb)
It is 7481x1799 pixels (400dpi).
From the readme the correct height and width to print the Map is:
Height x width (cm) - 10 x 46
Height x width (inch) - 3.94 x 18.12

I believe dexter does not live here anymore..

nope, he lives
6 feet under eh down under! ;) and he's probably still screwing people over and making promises he can't keep ... :evil:
