ARMOR ATTACK Rock Ola - pre-resto suggestion
« on: January 02, 2014, 02:49:19 AM »
Happy new year!!

I have a rock ola armor attack completely converted, only the wood can be saved side arts are in good shape too) so I have to find CP, Marquee, Glass, excluding the filling at the moment...

I can see rock ola parts are very difficult to find, on the contrary cine parts are not so rare (actually I don't know where to find the glass only)

Do you consider a plausible solution to restore the cab with cine parts?

or, in other words: if I do that are you still my friends? haha

LOL.
First of all it is your machine so it's totally up to you :)

Yes of course we would still be friends and yes of course that would be a totally acceptable solution ! Apart from The Rockola AA that I found in Belgium yours is the only one I know of in Europe, and there aren't that many in the US either. IMHO it's better to have a working machine playing the original game with a cine monitor than en empty shell ;)

However, my question is, will the external parts fit ? I mean is the Rockola shape the same as the Cine ?

Almost....but close enough to swap out the parts and artwork...

The Cinematronics has the cab recessed under the CP, the Rock-ola goes straight down. It's just a very minor difference, everything else looks pretty much the same:

That would be awesome to keep it Rock-ola at least on the outside...
