my next restoration(s) - what'll it be???
« on: July 25, 2010, 05:42:39 PM »
school holidays are approaching fast and with a lot of current restorations close to being finished, i'm already planning my next projects. there are some which i'd love to get started (like Death Race), but simply can't because not all of the reproduction parts are available. in no particular order, here are the ones which are "available" right now:

- moon patrol
- domino man
- championship sprint
- pac-land
- jungle king
- ikari warriors

i could also do galaga and ms pac-man, but i don't know when the replacement artwork for the first is going to arrive (andré?) and for the latter i don't want to spend that much money on the stencils at the moment, that's why i'm pushing those two cabinets back a little bit!

as for the others: i have collected most of the parts needed, some are still coming in, but once i'm done with the cabinet's shell, all the parts should be here!

so guys, which restoration(s) would you like to see next? you can choose more than one, because i'm planning on working at two or three games simultaneously 8)
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

the problem with moon patrol is going to be finding the right blue for the touchups of the artwork. i've never seen a shade of blue like the one used on the cabinet  ???

I vote for championshiop sprint and jungle king: the first one because i am in love with "sprint" series games, the second one because i have never seen a jungle king in decent shape and the "Ully-restoration-process-TM" will give to that machine a new birth ;)

Easy:

#1: - moon patrol / - jungle king
#2: - domino man
#3: - championship sprint
#4: - Ikari Warriors
#5: - pac-land



About the Moon Patrol color: why not bring it into the DIY store for a color sample ? It's only 4 stories down and back up again....... :D

To help you out with this I offer to bring the MP down stairs. Then load it into my car so you don't have to worry about the color matching and/or dragging it back up again.  ;D ;D

very kind of you, andré, but where's the where you're dragging the cabinet back up again into MY apartment alone? ;) ;) ;)

serious: of course i've been thinking about having the colors scanned, but the problem are the 4 stories down and up again. PLUS: patrik has to drop out for a couple of weeks because of a herniated vertebral disk - ouch :o! that's what you get from carrying too many arcade games around ... :-[

It's a good thing we don't live in the US Ully, because Patrick would probably sue you !

Sorry to hear, give my regards to Patrick, he's a nice bloke !

So there's no CP or something small to take to the store ? I did read that there are "wireless"(forgive me, can't think of a better word) scanners too, but who will lend out one of those expensive things ?

nope, nothing small with the same colors and from what i've heard, those mobile scanners are crap. i'll have to think about the color matching problem some more. unfortunately for my part but luckily for bruno his moon patrol cab doesn't need touchups or he's happy with the way his cab looks, because otherwise i would have waited for another round of his famous "cab drive-in scan stories" ;D

Just go to your storage, put a blind fold on and tick two or three cabs because it really doesn't matter which ones you do next. They all will be exciting to follow while getting the SUPERULLY TREATMENT  :spaceace:

Ully, what about your Joust 2? Are you waiting for Andrè to work on the board? Have you reinstalled the electrical parts? Your vacations could be perfect to go on also with this proj, aren't they?  ;)
