At this point i need an AR II board but especially one other board is missing the EMI Shield PCB (A040258-1) not the interconnect Pcb I have it.

Let's begin the wood restoration.

I can work on the back door, the good point is that i have the original back door I think, not the key of course.
not so bad  :) in the fist view












the back






I made a new one or wood treatment and Bondo ?  ;D

So i'm looking for an ARII  ;D
no problem for the PM as you can see it think i will have it next week

@Ckong, I asked Rich the same question and the answer is :

"Yes, it is still in the works We do not have a ETA at this time.
I could not even throw you a ball park time frame."

yes it's really a part of the hobby,  ;D no problem with that, and it a sw cockpit  :shock:

yes i'm waiting for the artwork to replace it, I hope it will be available soon

During the year, i found some stuff   ;)

The 3 pcb kit


Audio Board (thanks Atarimania)

SW Yoke


Amplifone Deflection Board & Amplifone High Voltage Board










Last week i make an order for the t-molding (Ramcontrol)  crossing the fingers  >:( because no other choice

No communication as we know, but it seems to be on delivery

no light, no space (two other cabinet) and no power on my cellar, i really can do nothing, that why i must get it back on my apartment

The cab need wood repair, no picture of course  i must use bondo or replace some of part if it necessary, I don't know yet.

As we know they were orginally covered in vinyl and not painted, I ordered black vinyl to do that.

Hi,

Last year I picked up a great cab, here in Paris, one of those i did not think i can have because

- Just a few was selling
- ever too expensive
- Always on UK so more expensive to get it back
- not really the space  :roll:

(Sorry for my english)

So my friend Atarimania call me one day last january 2010 and told me he found a SW cockpit, it is located in Paris not so far for me  ;D, (my 3 last cab was found in Paris too ) :P

For the history we already make a roadtrip to catch the Atarimania's SW Cockpit in Uk - You can see the report (in french) here http://www.gamoover.net/Forums/index.php?topic=11283.0

the cab was on ebay you could not bid it is only one announcement. We are both surprised it was still available 15 days after, we only knows that boards are missing, but the price is very very good, so we decided that this time the cabinet was for me  :D

Here is the pictures available before i bought it - no picture of the roadtrip because i made it alone.







only 3 hours after I have it on my park



At this time i decided to keep it safe on my cellar  not easy the wheels of the cab are down












Several week after, we decided to try to get it on my apartment but i am on  the 4th Floor, the lift is too small of course, so we try by the stairs >:(
Unfortunaltly the plan was not those and we was only 2 to do it 'Atarimania & me' and I was hurt at the left hand, that why the cockpit returned on the cellar.

a lot of work on the cockpit, as usual i want to restore it by using original item if it is possible.

the monitor is the amplifone 25" one, and all boards are missing

- Audio Regulator II Power Supply Board
- Amplifone Deflection Board
- Amplifone High Voltage Board
- 3 Pcb kit with the cage.

Which one ? :!: :!: :!: :!:  ;D

Hi are you from Europe ?

I noticed that "all" the low serial numbers have ended up in Europe which I find rather strange...You'd expect a US company like Midway to first take care of their home markets...


(by the way welcome here, did you already "introduce" yourself ?)


Hello, not yet introduce  :?

thank you

Yes in France, I found it a few years ago just near Paris (beginning of 2005 like my registered date on this forum in fact  :P )

Black leather T-molding on my cab before restoration like the flyer.

No, the one that Robin has is unique. This is the version as it pictured on the flyer:

Robin's serial nr. is 176 so a VERY early one (30000 made). Even mine that has serial nr. 815 has the "regular" side-art so they changed it very fast.

The main difference is the blue being also in the lower part of the Galaxian name and the dot on the i is NOT green.
I'm pretty sure they changed it because the name kind off "falls away" due to the blue background. The white in the name makes it more clearly visible.

I've never seen another Galaxian cab like Robin's.


mine is number : 0361 so very very fast.

255


Good job this galaxian side art repro

There is only one original site-art  ;D :wink:

Yes this one ?
