I just had the time to make some fast shoots of 2 obscure games....

one is called Super Sniper....

Maybe a clone from Sniper (Williams, 1971) : Sniper flyer.

Hey Syno....


Before powering up the Tac/Scan......please read this. Then read it again twice and decide if you are ready for it

http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-monitors/FAQ%20Electrohome%20G08%20Version%200.8%20dated%2025%20Feb%2020.pdf

First time I browsed thought this. Compared to the G08 the 6100 is easy and the Amplifone is a piece of cake.....although to be honest I only judge that by this document.

Whatever you do......NEVER EVER EVER run this machine unattended. I already use this as a rule for all my vectors but is especially important for a G08.

LOL @ "This document should not be used to put out any flames caused by the monitor."

I do not power up ANY of that games.

Nilfisk told me that there are a row of tests that needs to be done before I can start powering a game up.I know that the TC is a problem-game.

At the moment am busy to collect and to preserve the games....then I start restoring them.

Today I cleaned up the garage where I store them at the moment....and I had to unload the games from yesterday as well as the Top Skater.....with scared the hell out of me due to its weight.

The first games are packed the right way. The others will be done in the next days.

I had a Tac/Scan....


Me and a friend were playing games and I literally saw the Tac/Scan monitor burst into flames whilst we were playing it as the back door was off.

I mean it was terrifying.. I sold it immediately after that.

[level42]

Sissy.





 


Who bought it ?

[Alpha1]

Ordyne on UKVAC

....we will see.....

I know that there are some modifications available for that very monitor and I will let a specialist restore/modify the vektor-monitor.

After all that game worked in an Arcade for years 12-15h a day without catching fire....so I am not sooo afraid

[level42]

You won't be sure about that until you've seen it

[synonym9]

So what do you propose.....to trash it 

Some pictures from the cleaned garage and the proper covered machines......the others will follow....

If I understand correctly these games have been standing in a damp place for 30 years. If you wrap them up in this foil the water can not damp out. When the temperature goes up...... The inside will be like and green house and all kind stuff will grow in there, it will rust and the bezels will delaminate.... 

This whole foil wrap is good for transport not for storage. Make sure you garage is dry, ventilated and has a stable tempurature.

Only if you wanna store 'dry' games in a damp garage or cellar for a few months the wrap will be ok...no longer.
