Reactor Restore

[StevesArcade]

Hey guys I have a Reactor cabinet that was converted to a Rastan by an operator.  I was wondering if you all knew where to look for parts.  I have the original monitor in it ( does anyone know the model ) but its in a shop so I cant get to it.  The monitor needs a Cap Kit and the cabinet is the same except the side art was removed. 

I found a CPO for 120 bones.  any idea if sideart repros exist?  or Marquees?

I love google: http://www.phoenixarcade.com/art.htm#REACTOR (cpl overlay and speaker grill overlay/marquee)

Thought I found some sideart on quarterarcade but it's sold out

Talk to Phoenix Arcade, I think he is going to reprint the side art:

Hey John is Reactor worth my time?  Is it a good game or is it one I should fix up and sell?

Steve, I've always wanted one. I think it's really cool looking. I love the music.

However, I've played it a few times the past year and I have gone cold on it. Try to play it and decide for yourself. It's def' a game that people want and it's valuable for sure.

Thanks guys.  This may be my first video restore series.  Need to find a reactor board set  I dont have to sell a kidney for.

I know that rare but I still think that guy is an overpriced idot.  I've seen whole machines go for that!

[StevesArcade]

Yeah I may restore the cabinet and sell it without a board

that seller is always overpriced. They sell everything at crazy uber retail x 5.

Thats the kind of guys who make it hard to get good deals.  I have a buddy who I got , Jr. and Popeye off of for some work I did and after he gave them to me found a price on the internet for "restored" retail and thinks he gave me $3600.00 in games.  They all need work.  Repaint, Joystick Rebuild, monitor and sound board caps and new tmolding and side art.

Steve, what happened to that project?
Is it possible that I have your Reactor exported to Austria, this is mine I imported from the united states some months ago.

Hey buddy sorry it took me so long to reply.  No thats not mine.  I still have my cabinet and its not NEAR that bad.  have you restored it yet?

If So I would love to see your project
