Highscore! I just have to share my total joy with you guys! Yesterday a very nice Swede (dimmuborgir here on the forum) came along and dropped off Stargate and Centipede Cabaret!
Both cabs are fully working and in good nick. The Centipede Cabaret has some monitor issues with the colour balance and it needs a recap, but that will be sorted out. The player-buttons are not original, and I really want to have the cone button leds in there. If anybody here know where I can find some, be it original or repro, please give me a shout. Other than that there is a small tear in the inner cardboard bezel, but that's it.
The Stargate is also quite fresh. There are some dents to the side art, but most of what you can see in the picture is dirt that will come off with a magic eraser. I will do a colour match and touch up some spots as well. No other issues as far as I can tell. The cp is very fresh, apart from the two holes that I really can't figure out why somebody has drilled.
I wonder a bit about the buttons and the joystick though. Most of the Stargates I have seen on the web has a setup of green, red and white buttons and a red balltop on the stick. Can this be some sort of Euro setup, or are they all later replacements?
Overall not a lot of work to be done on these except for playing them until my fingers bleed. Today I also got the confirmation from the Oslo Pinheads pinball club that they approve me as a member, so now I have a place to put these babies. It all comes together so nicely, I expect to slip on the pavement and break a leg today. Something's gotta give you know.
But right now I'm just very happy. Dreams can come true!
