Archon's Arcade Restorations

Archon_Turtle · 04-19-2011, 08:58 PM

So I'm not sure how many people know this about me, but I am a hobbyist arcade restorer.

I thought you guys would be interested to see some restoration stuff I've got going on, so here we go!

My last Project was a Turtles in Time cabinet, which I posted about in the Turtles video game section. You can see the whole progress thread on that one here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=32927

But basically I took this:

and did this:

Anyway, I got my newest restoration candidate yesterday!

Do not be fooled by the Tekken 2 marquee. The game has all the hardware for Killer Instinct in it.

Admittedly, this game has a lot less to restore than most of the games I get.

It's going to need:

1. Side Art Touch-ups
2. New T-molding
3. New Control Panel Overlay
3. New Marquee Glass
4. New Bezel Glass
5. New Marquee
6. Wood Repair on the back door
7. Security bars removed and the remaining holes filled
8. Light fixture repair
9. New joysticks

Killer Instinct is one of my favorite games of all time. Happy to be able to give this one a pampering and a good home. Will update this thread as I go along

Huh. I could have sworn Turtles in Time used more than two buttons.

No sir! Although several of the Konami beat em ups do have 3.

Ah-ha! A fellow collector. I do this as well, but I'm terrible at it to say the least. Worked on an old Donkey Kong recently.

*edit*

I see you have the pinball machine too. Awesome. I've got one as well. Half the play-field lights went out though. Can't figure out for the life of me what is causing it.
