Hi,
Just entered an Sega/Gremlin Satro fighter cocktail table in the garage.
It is totally empty, without the smoked glass, with the plastic screen frame, no buttons no joysticks.

A good departure would be to find someone possessing a bootleg or the original game card.
Is there someone to save this restoration ?

I don't really know yet but the buttons seem to be squared and the joystick small. I have to put farther my research to know where to find it.
My usual supplier is limited with standards and modern parts.

Other funny detail : it is painted in two shades of blue. My eyes hurt but perhaps will I keep it painted

Please help ! ;-)

It is a generic driving car by Jeutel. Really heavy. I made the experience of plugin a PS2 to Jamma with a PS1 to play driving 3D games.
It works but my screen just recapted and LM1203 changed, i need to change some others part because picture stay blue overdosed ;-)
Then i will start to wire it one the good way (the break pedal is not plugged, the wheel has no effect etc.)

Perhaps I can help you to buy one.
You have to do the trip to see it and its delivery to your country because it is a big responsibility I don't want to carry.
Come with a dedicated one and we make an exchange ;-)
Look for Jeutel, arcade Electronics or René Pierre in google image to precise your idea.

Hi,
The thing with french generic arcade was in the beginning of the 80'.
In the professional exhibition for the coin-up machines professionnals, american firms showed their new machines : pacman, space invaders etc.
A french guy, Mr Tel (Jeutel) was interesting. His business was about trading pinballs, pool tables etc. to professional (Here some guies were placing games in bars or nightclub to earn money sharing the amount with the owner of the place).
The fact is that here we had to wait 6 months before having the games.
He employed engineers and buy each sample of games and do copies. When the american games were ready to be sale in France Jeutel was everywhere with a copy of the game. For example Space Invader was Super invaders.
And then games were later better protected by law but it was too late for Bally, Atari and brothers.
And today people in France don't go out too much to drink a beer, law has become straight for winny drivers, money left the pockets and we pass in 20 years from 200 000 bars and coffee places to less than 25000. For a few years there is a good stock of cabinet sleeping in garage basements, stocks but things become rares because we are most and most nostalgic collectors.
Sorry for my english, but i collect faults too !
John i promise to make a few picts of my collection.
Have a nice evening, here is almost the night.
