Hi Andy and welcome to our little piece of heaven!
Holy f**k!!!!! - what an awesome lineup!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: - especially like the game to the far left:

Every monitor seems very crisp! New tubes in them??

Space Zap is my new favourite game!  ;D very underrated and often overlooked!
tubes are NOS in the Pacman - Nice G07 in Tron, Q-Bert is original (with quite bad burn - but is not noticeable when played)
and I believe Space Zap has an old B/W space invaders tube as the original was toast!  :(
We are Checking B+/Gun Levels/Pots/Cleaning the screens  ;D and Recapping as we go :)

And yes I know we need about 50 Tubes for the Marquees!  ;D

nice catch, but ...

(a) ... that topper looks as if it didn't belong there - imho totally out of place and destroying the artwork!
(b) ... who are you? how about a short introduction?

(a) I know what you mean - it is original and we will probably take precautions so it doesn't damage any artwork
     Do you know if this topper was available in Europe or was it just a UK only version?

(b) My Apologies, I've Introduced myself in the relevant forum https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=5352.0 :)

Arcade Lifestyle / Tehkan World Cup - With Topper! :)

his Arrived Today, it needs quite a bit of work - but it is still a solid cab with lots of spares  ;D
We should have this ready in time for the World Cup!



The vinyl and artwork is damaged - but there is enough to scan rebuild and restore it
AND it has the Footballer 'intact' - Very Happy about that!  ;D



The other side has fared slightly better - i'm sure the metal corner caps have helped it over the years...



The one player side is in great condition - the other side has a bad rip across the corner...



The 'Does it really exist? ' Topper is in very good condition - with minor artwork damage



Inside is all original - and will need completely stripping down & refurbishing (New Caps/connectors etc)



Best of all it came with loads of spares! some NOS!  ;D

I'll post a complete strip down and refurbishment thread when we start!

Andy
