Wow,

this looks to be a good replacement for the shot playfield in my game.
I would take it if it's still available.
Do you also have boards left and maybe a monitor bezel?

I could use some of them if Alex doesn't need them all :)



If you send a Pm we can discuss it.

It appears that my game is fitted with a Taito Tiger Heli PCB.Everything works right now so that is a plus.
Wiring is obviously hacked, but all in all it's very promising.
Cabinet is very good condiition too, and with the new marquee and cpo on the way, it could be a showpiece.

So if anybody other than Atarimania  has a Xevious PCB please make a move.
I would like to decide in the next couple of days what to do.
I have a lots parts, specially pinball, to trade or cash.

Hi group,

since i bought some Xevious parts for this good cause      https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=4332.0 
i thought i might as well start a search for the original PCB.
My game unfortunately was sold to me without it.
Would be nice if somebody has one or has a lead.
I might have parts or PCB's to trade when interested.

Keep my fingers crossed.

To save you some time and keep you from clogging the Pace, try a heat gun (paint stripper) next time.Heat up the solder side of the Pcb, tap it on the table and the switches will probably fall off undamaged.At least, it worked like a charm in the nineties.

Impressive!!

This was one of the many games that stayed way too long in the workshop for maintenance instead of on location because it was so addictive to play.We couldn't turn it loose and always found little knick knacks to fix.
 
If i remember well, it has a very special brakeswitch.One that measured brakeforce by the stretch of a metal strip inside the pedal.Unlike anything else we had seen before.

thanks for the clarification. genuine but i really don't like it :D

look like happs stuff


You can't tell a machine on the steering wheels it has on now.They were probably changed several times in it's routed lifespan.They lasted about ayear on a busy location. And alot of operators use Happs for cutting cost.
Suzo Happ has a long history of poor quality parts in fit, optics and function so i share your negative thoughts about them but at least they had a large stock.We always tried to order original parts , but than there was often a logistic problem that it could take months to arrive.Not good for a machine on location trying to make money....

never heard about a special version of daytona usa... sound like a conversion .. the turning wheel is ... weird for a sega cab , same for the panel.
maybe i'm mistaken , but for me it's not a genuine sega cab

The daytona was so highly succesfull worldwide, i know for a fact that there were several diffent versions and colours with wooden or plastic panels and different seat-configurations.
In the company i worked for in the 90's, we had so many Daytona's that we sometimes had to search the storage to match pairs or multiples which was not always easy.
And all of them were original Sega's as far as i know.
Sometimes dedicated games that were imported from the far east had different cabinets too.I remember we had GTI clubs from Hongkong that felt really small and crushed your knees when playing.They also had the handbrake lever on the left which was hard to get used to.Appearance was not notably different from European cabinet.

I've been a coin-op mechanic since 1988 and worked in a big arcade 8 years prior to that.Best job in the world in 1981.
I became a mechanic because the pinballs and videogames started to dissapear in the arcade more and more in favour of gambling.
As a mechanic i could choose my servicecalls more or less and i mostly got the pinball related since i was good at that.
Nowadays pinball is gone and videogames non existant, so i repair roulette tables and gaming machines instead.Pinball is still very big in my sparetime luckily.
