I'm assuming that's a part number for a PSU part. Looks like the original power supply and some sort of power supply PCB with williams tags on one or two of the parts on this PCB that say "Williams" and a number. The inside of the control panel has a stamp: "TESTED INSPECTED" I know for sure I want the cab to look like the original Robotron.
#BOSCONIAN ARCADE RESTORE PC#
I've decided to restore this cab using Robotron stencils, marquee, etc.fix her back up in appearance to the original robotron.īut, I'm still deciding if I should go with a PC mobo and J-Parc to MAME her or get a Multi-Williams Jamma board. And saving the original Robotron artwork would be impossible. None of the original Robotron parts are here. So, here I have a Robotron -> Joust -> Skins conversion. Lo an behold, underneath is Joust artwork! But, looking, even closer, I see the faint outlines of Robotron artwork underneath the Joust! Well, I went straight to Lowe's and picked up some Goof-Off 2 and got busy last weekend.
#BOSCONIAN ARCADE RESTORE FREE#
Hmmm.what is under that black paint on my free cab? Then, my entire project took on a new life when I read this thread about a moon patrol restoration. I decided to get started by doing some research and found this forum. Well, it's been sitting in the basement for a few months until now. The coin slots take quarters and register them (I can hear it when I drop a quarter in). I can hear the sound coming out of the speakers, though. Everything works when plugged in - except video since there is no monitor. It seemed pretty solid (no major damage) and best of all, it just barely fit into the back of my Honda Element! It was painted black, no monitor, a couple of joysticks and four buttons. Having NO CLUE what I was doing, I picked out one that seemed right for my purposes. My teenage son and I went down to the guy's warehouse one Saturday morn, and discovered this guy has dozens upon dozens of old cabs in different conditions. Having been familiar with MAME in the past, I decided to go grab one with the intentions of cleaning it, painting it and throwing an old PC inside for MAME. Thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum because it has been very informational and inspirational!Ībout five months ago, I was poking around on the local Craigslist free section (here in Kansas City), and I noticed an ad for a guy giving away free arcade cabinets. Hello! Mike here - I'm new to the forum and decided to jump since I just started my very first arcade restoration.
