OK well, apart from installing 1 555 lamp in the coin door and installing the little sync board I decided to call this project
FINISHEDThis was the poor sad Q*bert shell as I received it as an AMAZING gift in the year 2010 during Eurocade:
And after some years waiting, collecting parts and finally starting the restoration process here it is. I'm happy. I'm proud. I think this is probably one of my better restorations to date
Love it !!
