Thanks again! Happy to be here!
Superully: Are there any more Norwegians in here?
About the requested photos of the Rally-X: It is not mint, to say the least, so it will have to undergo a bit of restoration work. Here are some photos of how it looked when I first got it.
Since these photos were taken, I've recapped it and given the cp/screen overlay a good clean with the Novus kit. I've sourced some t-molding which is exactly the same colour and a new button. But, as you can tell, there is a lot of hard work and elbow grease left. As such, this is my spring project. After it's restored, I might sell it off to clear space for something else. Space is my biggest problem really, as I live in a small flat with gf and two kids.
The side art is in a pretty bad state, so I have been working on that as well. I spent quite a bit of time on the net looking for vector files and such, but to no avail. The Namco version is nowhere to be found. What I finally managed to come up with was a decent picture of the Midway version. The Midway side art is quite a heavily touched up version of the Namco one, where all the spots where it says Namco erased and replaced by cruder brush strokes, smiling mouths in the headlights, erasing and overcoating. Of course I couldn't live with the poorer Midway version, so I went to work. So, here is the Namco art as it once was, ready for the printers.
