Title: Pole Position Upright - Roadtrip
Post by: Digimon on February 24, 2013, 05:48:26 PM
Hi Guys,

now it was the time to catch my Pole Position upright.

it was a good deal, so i couldn't resist. Typically I don't like racing games. But this was the one I played most.

I have to ride 200km from Hamburg near Wolfsburg, and I wasn't sure if the cab fits in my touran.

I started early in the snowy dark morning:

as always I have to pass the Elbtunnel:

It's always good to know there will be enough energy for our hobby:

good to know bigger cars are available nearby:

but it fits perfect:

I think I need a new sticker, from the repro run;-(

the screen is working, but I think there will be some work with the PCB:

Hey, that cabinet looks very good.  :-*
Pole Position is also one of my all time favorite racing game! Nice catch  ;)
I hope you won't have too much troubles to fix it! PP is well know as an hard game to repair...  :-\ If not, here's the greatest hope for many non-working Pole Position owners, right here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=209988)!  8)
