28th of January... 2h15pm ... I'm at work... my mobile is ringing ...

(In a very bad French... so even impossible to translate in English  ;D:arrow:

- Are you Mr Bruno ? I've got a package for you ...
- Yes ! Is it big (I know I'm expecting an arcade game) ? Is it an arcade cabinet ?
- Weelll... a what ? huh... it's heavy ! It's coming from Germany!
- Does it is like a "fridge"  :roll: :lol: ?
- Huh ... I would say yes... it's well packed ! Where do I put this ?
- Behind my house ... I've asked for that ... because I knew I were not at home, so please unload it BEHIND my house !
- OK, but I need a signature...huh ... wait ... your neighbor is there...
- Yes ask her to sign for me please !
- Huh ... mhhhh OK Mister !

Hang on... Well... I'm not sure if he understand  ??? Ok ... let's quit my workplace... direction my house  8)

25 minutes later... YES  :P  :arrow:



Yes... it's what I was expected  ;D



On the 'package', the instructions given to the seller  :arrow:



...If I’m not present during the delivery, please give the instruction to let the game outside, but  BEHIND my house, like this ->

...I’ve added 5€ in the price, so please put a max of bubble wrap/plastic around the game and especially on top, in order to protect it if it rain or something ;-)


Let's start this road trip   ;D ...removing the crate...



1 METER TO GO  :arrow:



Entering the house  ;D

OK, the beast is in  ::) :P  :arrow:



It's not Christmas anymore... but... let's unpack this gift  8)  :arrow:



Hey... it looks very nice isn't it  ;) :-*



Ok, so what to say for my road trip' stat ?  ;D

Let's say : 1 meter ?!  ::) ;D

What ?

Yes ... I'm Lazy on this one  ;D ;D ;D

...but hey, this game is not working... so I'll have to work on it  ::) ;D

Stay Tuned ... as usual  ::)  :pac:  :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:

Here's other pictures of the cabinet... still not cleaned yet ( :oops:).

The control panel  :arrow:



The marquee. As you can see, slightly damaged  :ghost:  :arrow:



The bad think : no board inside the cabinet  :?  :arrow:



I've just missed one on ebay US  :evil:  :arrow:



...went for $115 ...without shipping cost ... too expensive, and too risky when I read this : "Item is sold untested and inspected as is, as seen. NO warrenty implied or given unless stated in auction description..."

I don't have access to the coin door #2...  I can see, from the upper coin door something inside a plastic bag in the cash box... I presume it's the manual of the game and/or the monitor?  :arrow:



...I'll have to drill the lock, 'coz I don't have the key  :?

Well, still nothing done yet ... except moving the cab into the game room  ;D



Snow !!! Yes... welcome in Belgium  :P

OK, be careful here... I'm using some carpet pieces from the V2, in order to protect the V1 carpet  :P



On location... in the 'to restore' area  ::) :arrow:



The wife is happy... one more game 'removed' from our house  :P ;D

Let's start to work on this one.

No key for the second coin door. No problem... let's use the drill... and let's discover what was the sheets of paper hidden inside...



One sheet of paper, and the Sanyo monitor documentation :



Here's the sheet of paper...Funny  ;D  It was supposed to be the manual? But it's just a note that tell you to be patient... the manual will be available soon  ;) ... we are the 24rd of November 1987  :D  :arrow:



To release a game without the documentation? Strange isn't it ? Or Maybe PacMania was just an upgrade kit for an other cabinet?

bruno, what kind of drill (size) are you using to drill open the lock? Do you drill a hole in the middle of the lock to open it?
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!
