that is a very noble intention, I will give you all my support with that. just let me know when you plan to start wiring the cabs to install the pcbs and I'll make sure to buy an airplane ticket for some very far tropical island..

done:

Thanks Bruno ... I work on it daily, I want it playable as soon as possible  :P :spaceace:


Ok, after the primer and the black I need the right yellow Q*bert ...

my samples (a piece from Nos CPO and a piece of old sidearts)



I chose the sidearts piece ... more Q*bert style ;D

... and the right color is ready :-* :-*:
