New arrival(s)!
« on: May 14, 2010, 08:06:31 PM »
Hey all,

First post  :)

Some of you may know me, I'm the guy that bought the Mechelen Toy Museum collection four years ago. Most of those machines have moved to a new home, some of them remained and make up the core of my arcade collection. This week some new arrivals entered the home:




Tempest is working nicely, although the color green appears to be somewhat faint.
Burgertime is currently dead. I ordered a working board, hope that will do the trick
... or else Andre has got to come over to do some repairs  :)

Cheers,
Marco

Yeah, that's my Computer Space. Here is what it looks like today (with the guy who brought it back to life). Still needs a tv, but I'm very happy with the result so far (compared to what it looked like when I got it)!

The Tempest and Burgertime were imported from the US indeed. Managed to buy them cheap, so with the (expensive) shipping it was still sorta doable  :wink:

That Pleiads looks great - how's the Space Wars?

Cheers,
Marco

Hi,

hehe, don't worry man!

Lots of cool projects though: a Tempest cabaret (this one will go up for sale BTW once it works again - any takers??) and a Star Wars upright with no picture, and a Space Duel with half a picture!

Cheers,
Marco

I have a Tempest cabaret as well (not in the picture).

Currently no picture (I suspect it's a loose contact or a fuse, it worked before the transport from Sweden).

Cheers,
Marco
