Fast Freddie - Final Destination.
« on: January 07, 2010, 04:48:25 PM »
Received the FF yesterday, and got it home today! and it´s in pretty good condition!
Now i hope Oliver will dig out the original PCB, sell and ship it  :D

As you can see, Ully did a great job wrapping this up!



Even styrofoam under the cardboard! - excellent!



Above the Marquee bezel, there was some stickers, soon they will be gone!



The Bezel marquee is hardened glass and there´s no scratches!



The game atm is Time Pilot, bau as you can see, the aux board is present  :spaceace:





The left side, some scratches, but a cleanup, and it´s good again



So for the right side, some scratches...



Cab made in Ireland, sn119555... wow! - maby they started counting at 100000???

yeah, fast freddie is HOME  :)

i'm glad to see it arrived in nice condition, i was a little bit worried about the glass bezel. this is the most beautiful part of the cabinet and in such a perfect condition. i hope oliver will dig up the pcb soon and you can enjoy playing the game!

p.s.: of course i forgot to include the original manual. do you want me to send it to you now or include it in the next delivery? ;)

Atari used a scheme to prevent people (competitors) from guessing the number of produced machines with the serial nrs.

At least the conversion was done in a neat way. I've seen _much_ worse !

What makes you think I've got a pic of the original Flyboy cab (if there ever was any) ?

By conversion I meant that it was neatly converted to Time Pilot :D

Got some time today, so i cleaned up the FF...

The sides was a bit dirty (nicotine!!) and i tried several things to get it of without any luck, but found something
in my kitchen that really helped.
- And it´s not helping that the surface is not smooth, but have a structure where the nicotine/dirt kan really hide!!!

Before...



Under... yuck!



After... wow!



The same goes for the CP:

Before...



After...!



So, thanks to this wonderful cleaning agent!

Good job... I'm really in love with the side art  :-*

In order to remove the last 'yellow' area, you can use acetone (like I did for cleaning my xevious), but pay attention!... use only acetone to clean the dirty area on the white vinyl! Do no try acetone on the art itself, or you'll erase it  ::)
