Post by: STEVESPEEZE on February 05, 2014, 01:24:18 pm

This is actually 2 pieces side by side but it looks alot better than it did before.

I would happily kill a Zaxxon, after 30 years I still cant get the damned controls.

up = left
down = up
right = down
left = right

something like that. every time I used to play it I was sure someone was screwing with the joystick.

Missle command had no bottom , pcb was fucked, monitor was fucked (not even john wanted it )  i reused the cabinet.
I was gonna restore it but i have this thing called a 1964 ford thunderbird that needed an interior....
Maybe ill just sell the t bird and buy 40 arcade machines when i get around to it.

Cabinet was donated by Vic so i could have something to put a 25 inch wells gardner monitor in.

There is a working (in better conditon) zaxxon on CS one town over from me for 450.
