Ladies and Gentlemen........the Colombia has landed !



Received some parts from Bob Roberts and Home Depot thanks to PaulSwan today. One of the parts was the G05 adapters and of course I couldn't hold it much longer and quickly put in my spare -802 and....I played Lunar Lander the one and only proper way since.........I at least 30 years !!!

......and look how stunning that marquee looks ! HUGE THANKS to CKONG for donating this to the project !!!!!

P.s. please also notice nicely restored marquee holders.... ;)

thanks...and of course it also still needs the black cardboard bezel and the plexi bezel...

maybe some new vinyl on the front and the coindoor badly needs to be restored. Also still want to fix the original monitor. At least now it's confirmed that it's not the PCB having the problem.
