Title: New Entry : Empty Astro Fighters cocktail in
Post by: rom1 on May 30, 2014, 07:22:53 pm
Hi,
Just entered an Sega/Gremlin Satro fighter cocktail table in the garage.
It is totally empty, without the smoked glass, with the plastic screen frame, no buttons no joysticks.

A good departure would be to find someone possessing a bootleg or the original game card.
Is there someone to save this restoration ?

I don't really know yet but the buttons seem to be squared and the joystick small. I have to put farther my research to know where to find it.
My usual supplier is limited with standards and modern parts.

Other funny detail : it is painted in two shades of blue. My eyes hurt but perhaps will I keep it painted lol

Please help ! ;-)

depending on how authentic you want to be with your PCB, the emulation on the 412 in 1 is excellent.

would love to see pictures

 I tried the 412 version of Astro Fighter, it's cool.
I think I will put a Rasberry PI In with Mame and a Joystick/buttons interface.
Some tiny sticks and Buttons, an lcd screen and wait the opportunities to replace piece by piece by the original ones.
I have a MCT900 Hantarex 15" sleeping in the garage waiting flyback transformer and Capacity Kit to restart for example.
I will surely do the same with my Crazy Balloon because original stuf is very hard to find here in France Because of European generic cabinets.
They have been much more spread in the past than the original cabinets here in the 80-90's.
