Title: R-Type 1 & 2 side-by-side and thanks to John's Arcade for the know-how :) Post by: Emig5m on December 22, 2015, 08:13:38 pm Finally finished my fall project last night just an hour before the official end of fall (my R-Type II):
(http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/IMG_20151221_223522131-small.jpg) (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/20151221_215549-small.jpg) (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/IMG_20151221_222822908-small.jpg) (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/20151221_224412-small.jpg) My initial search for a R-Type cab (a childhood favorite) started a little over a year ago after seeing this rendition of the cabs in R-Type Dimensions: (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/DimendionsImage1.jpg) My Google searching brought me to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWmiwwOGCC0 And then I REALLY wanted to find that childhood favorite that I haven't stood at and played in about 25 years. I also had never seen the inner workings of a arcade machine before and to see how my childhood favorite arcade game worked from the inside in that video was really cool. Soon after I found my R-Type cab and and was reunited with it after not seeing it in person for about 25 years. At the same time I became hooked on that Youtube channel. I learned a lot from the channel on arcade restores and decided to take on my own project late this year which is the R-Type II posted above and below. (http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/before_and_after.jpg) I wouldn't have been able to do this restore if it wasn't for the knowledge from the John's Arcade Youtube channel! From Bondo, to laminate. I never did any of that before. I never used a router before or anything. I think I did good for my first restore project, hehe. And thanks for all the restore knowledge and entertaining videos. This is freakin' brown paint! LOL. ;) It was basically monkey see, monkey do.... Laminate (learned from the Jump Bug restore)....

(http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x106/emig5m/R-Type%20II%20project/20151017_121946-small.jpg) Basically I learned everything that made this restore happen from watching the John's Arcade Youtube channel so I thought I would at least share my project here and give thanks to where the knowledge was learned to let me pull this off! Peace.
