Here's what the moving guys brought for me on Tuesday morning:
I quickly bring it inside my garage and remove the cardboard (it's going to rain soon):
Pretty good condition Pac-land! One side is missing art but it's ok, I knew that already.
I'll have to work on it later. Tuesday afternoon Kevin, the seller, brings me this puppy:
Works ok but needs a lot of cosmetic work!
Here is the Mappy I got a few weeks ago (looks great except for the front of the CPO where it is cracking):
A big problem here when I turn it on, it doesn't work!! I will need to work on this later too!
Here's the big project I have been working on. My home made Pac-man. I built everything myself (except for the bezel glass, that's from a real Pac-man)! I did the artwork printing myself too:
The CPO got trashed (I printed it over a year ago and the humidity made it peel away):
But it still works!!
Running AdvanceMame for linux booting from a USB thumb drive!
I have to re-do the CPO, mount the speakers and motherboard, restore and attach the coin door and attach the back door. Otherwise it's good to go!
I have an LCD monitor in it but I may switch to a 19" CRT.
Here's the project that brought me here to Bruno's website in the first place, my mini Dragons Lair!
The speaker panel and plexi broke on me so I have to build some new ones, otherwise it's almost done!:
This machine is only four feet tall, I built everything myself on this (even made a little metal control panel from scratch). I wish I would have put in a coin door, but oh well it was my first attempt ever at building one.
Here's a comparison photo of the mini-DL CP with my home-made Pac-man CP:
Compared in size to a real DL:
My self printed mini side art:
I'll try to post some more pics if you guys want. Let me know what you think!
Thanks again for all your help, you are a great group of guys!
