I love the picture with the Mr Do and Devil Zone screenburn. Fascinating

...and more than 1 year and half... back on this!  :P

Ok, I would like to give this cabinet an 'identity'. Remember, on that cabinet, two serial numbers carved on the back  :shock:  :arrow:



189 on the left  :arrow:



3111 on the right  :arrow:



The real SN is the second one  :arrow: 3111





Etienne, are you listening  ::) ;D ;)

But I don't really understand why the real SN 3111 was deliberately erased (more tried to be erased) on its back?
Maybe an operator wanted to hide this game for an inventory, in order to skip taxes? I don't think so because the font used to print the 'false' serial number 189 is exactly the same than the real one. It has been also carved in the same manner... so it cannot be an operator modification.
Or was it a factory mistake?  If so, why to erase the correct SN, and print 189, which means nothing?
What could be the explanation to that?

I am always listening  :D

I knew it  ;D I wanted to be sure that one to be added on the SN labels queue  ;)

To finish on that 'serial numbe'r story, found a last number inside the cabinet ...



...this time, It's just an inventory number... so does 'Statewide Coin-Operated Amusment Inc' is an arcade company name or something?

I was tired to see the roll of *brand new* t-molding waiting on the top of that cabinet since more than 18 months!

Go back to work dude! The tools of the day  :arrow:



Nothing special... I've done this a dozen of time  8) ... except I had some troubles to remove the current tmolding. I was really dry, and so... so hard! When I pulled it off the trench, it broke every 5 or 10 cm. That operation was the most time consuming  :ghost:
Also had to remove 'carefully' theses nails  :arrow:



...and special 'treatment' in the curves  8)  :arrow:



I always start/end up in that way  :arrow:



No more 'day light' in my living room. I prefer to stop here and do the other side an other day...

Quick reminder Atarimania  ::)

OK, let's finish the other side. Ops, I did not remember that cabinet has no leg leveler...



...but only a stupid & dangerous piece of wood instead  :?...



Yes, dangerous for my carpet  :ghost:  Let's put brand new leg levelers  :arrow:



Now, this Buger Time looks really cool  :-* ...



...but it'll even better in the Nuno's Lair  :P



See how she's beautiful in the day light  :-*  :arrow:







As usual now inside my game room, if one go 'in'... one go 'out' ::) :arrow:



...well not really out, that lovely MACH3 is now inside my workshop living room!  ::)

Almost in and...



...this is it!  :-*  :arrow:



Chef Peter Pepper is not alone anymore  8)  :arrow:

Yes, but very very slightly, so it does not deserve a fresh one  ;)
