Superully: here are some pronshots as requested. I can't really understand why Midway decided to drop all the cool cartoons on the bezel.  






Olly: Hi! Thanks for the heads up about the price. Not sitting on a huge gold mine it seems.   That amount doesn't really allow me to buy and import another cab, which would be the point of selling. I might eventually consider a swap though, although I'm not sure how one should go about the practicalities. But I won't be hogging it from a collector who really wants it just to be a sad bastard, so if anything interesting comes up in terms of other cabs within the same range I will of course consider it.

Thanks, I guess. You say that as if it is a real rarity. I know I haven't been able to locate any pictures of my version online, but I haven't really got much else to go by to figure out its value or rarity other than a J+ member telling me it's "rare". Am I sitting on something special here? What would be the decent price to sell this for to a fellow collector you think?

Thanks again! Happy to be here!
Superully: Are there any more Norwegians in here?  
About the requested photos of the Rally-X: It is not mint, to say the least, so it will have to undergo a bit of restoration work. Here are some photos of how it looked when I first got it.





Since these photos were taken, I've recapped it and given the cp/screen overlay a good clean with the Novus kit. I've sourced some t-molding which is exactly the same colour and a new button. But, as you can tell, there is a lot of hard work and elbow grease left. As such, this is my spring project. After it's restored, I might sell it off to clear space for something else. Space is my biggest problem really, as I live in a small flat with gf and two kids.

The side art is in a pretty bad state, so I have been working on that as well. I spent quite a bit of time on the net looking for vector files and such, but to no avail. The Namco version is nowhere to be found. What I finally managed to come up with was a decent picture of the Midway version. The Midway side art is quite a heavily touched up version of the Namco one, where all the spots where it says Namco erased and replaced by cruder brush strokes, smiling mouths in the headlights, erasing and overcoating. Of course I couldn't live with the poorer Midway version, so I went to work. So, here is the Namco art as it once was, ready for the printers.



Top left: my cab with original messed up artwork. Bottom left: the Midway version. Right: my new version. Se if you can spot all the differences! 

Hehe, no worries mate. I'm just thrilled by the fact that I'm getting help!
What's "the bezel case" btw? Some ingenious device? 

Thanks again guys!

Mastaaah Etienne: hehe, I see the similarity.
Level42: lol, unless he was of Japanese origin. Then he would surely be a wii-king... ok, I'll get my coat. 
Ataritoobin: nice to see you too mate!
Muerto: wow, compared to where the rest of the guys who are into woodies are located, we are practically neighbours! Judging from your signature you have quite the collection. Where in Denmark are you, btw?
 

Whoa, this is more than I'd hoped for, Luigi! 
I'm very interested! You have a PM.

Still interested in the aforementioned scans/photos, now especially the marquee. 

Hi, and thanks for the warm welcome!

Luigi: No, the marquee is original and the control panel looks as it did when the cab came out of the factory in Denmark sometime between 1982 and 1985. No design on my part. What I had was two original cp's that were both badly torn and burnt by cigarettes, but luckily they overlapped so that I managed to puzzle it together into a whole image. I then went on to vectorize it and had it printed on gameongraphix. Much like the process described by Etienne here on the forum, although my skills doesn't even come close to his. He is a master! 

Belike: Ai, 1 euro! Damn! I must say I that for a universal cab, I think the Starsplash is close to perfect. I love the graphics on it, and the shape is strangely enough the same as my Compu-Game. They will look good together! It is a long way to go before it is restored though. Will keep you posted.
