Since C7 I am the proud owner of a nice Q*bert game. The cab is in pretty decent condition, and that's the reason that I don't plan big restoration works. sure, it shows it age, and that is great. Here is a pic of the best side
The other side is almost as good. I think that a good cleaning will do and maybe a bit of paint touch-up here and there.
The previous owner did install a new (repro?) CPO, I guess, because it is like new. Fortunately no cracks. It's obvious that the CP also got a new fresh paint from him.
The marquee is original and in great condition, the backside still has it's protective foil! I will leave it there, you can't see it from the front when the marqee is lit, and removal of the sticky foil could mean that I damage the print.
What's more to say about the game? It's working 100%, the WG monitor is still in very good condition (very, very minor burn in, only visible when you remove the bezel and smoke plexiglass, so absolutely no burn in visible during gameplay) with good colors and pretty sharp. The coin door has the Gottlieb plate
and I'm a happy man.
The only things to do, besides the cleaning job, is to install some door locks and to perform the '230V mod'. Oh, and it will get some brand new 'repro' serial stickers etc., from our sticker wizard of course.
