My buddy has had a Turtles in Time machine sitting in his garage for years. He never intended to fix it up and I had been bothering him for ages about restoring it. Well he finally sold it to me a couple weeks ago and I started restoring it the next day. I still have a ton of work to do but so far I've got the monitor and game working. The K7000 needed capacitors and transistors for the neckboard. The control panel still needs to be completely redone but I am waiting on parts for that. I'm brand new to this hobby so if anyone sees anything troublesome or has any comments I'd appreciate them. I'll update this post as things progress but right now I figured I'd post the Imgur album of what I have completed so far. Thanks for looking and thanks to John for all his super informative videos! Without those capacitor replacement videos I'd still have a half black monitor with no reds.

Looks great.  I hope my TMNT to Bucky O'Hare project turns out ok

Oh I would love to see them. Do you have any pics? I've never played Bucky O' Hare. How is it compared to the Turtles games or Sunset Riders?

I made some updates to the machine over the past couple of weeks and made a couple Youtube videos on them. These are my first Youtube videos so sorry for the lack of quality. I have a better light and a microphone coming but they aren't that bad. If you have any recommendations or suggestions I'd love to hear them.
