Apple Time cabs
« on: March 04, 2016, 03:24:31 PM »
Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knew much about Apple Time, which as far as I can tell were an Italian manufacturer?
I have a Moon Shuttle cab like the one on KLOV in reasonable condition, and fully working. I'm going to do some restoration work on it... maybe improve its looks! It has an original Nichibutsu PCB and Hantarex monitor in.
The glass is flaking, but looks like a generic image they used on other cabs, and the marquee is broken too.
It's one of those wraparound styles like on Zac cabs. I was thinking of getting one printed up and fitting retainers to convert it to the normal flat style.
It also had one of those awful spikes for a joystick, now a more comfortable red ball top.  ;D
I'll get some pics up over the next few days if anyone's interested.
I'd be very interested to see some pics of other AppleTime cabs on here!

Cheers

Jase

Apple Time is Austrian. In fact, they're still around, manufacturing sports betting terminals.

I spotted it in a French telecom advert once.  ;D
Pretty common generic cab in Belgium.

Sorry guys, but on each 'Apple Time' topic here, I have to show you one of my most famous picture of me with my very first arcade cabinet @ home... back in 1991  :D  :arrow:



Damn! Life was so easy back then...  :P Time flies so fast!  :-\

As promised here's a few pics. I can't get much access at the moment, but when I do I'll take some internal photos and maybe a few more of the cab.  ;D

First time I've seen someone else using the Zac style curvy marque. Cool!

Yeah I thought that. I wondered if Zac had anything to do with it?
I wish it wasn't broken!  :-\ Repro'ing that is gonna be a no-no, so that's why I'm gonna have to get a normal style one done.
