Great read.  They had some setbacks but with help from the right people and some luck they were able to overcome.  Clearly a labor of love as so much work was involved.

Welcome to the forum, would be great to see pics of your Robotron.  Also, watch some of the John's Arcade youtube videos made in the last few months as he went into detail replacing burnt round pins on the power supply of a Robotron (spoiler: in the end he gave up as it didn't fix his issues and he just installed a regular switching power supply and Williams adapter)  Cheesy

Cool cabinet.  The great thing about the game is the strobing flash.  Apparently if its broken you can easily find a replacement in an old kodak camera with a built-in flash.

Whew, you have a lot of work ahead of you!  If the goal is to make it play pacman or ms, i'd remove everything, clean it out thoroughly, repair wood as needed, repaint, wash all the electronics, get the monitor recapped/working.  But then if the board isn't working (after testing/replacing fuses and power supply) i'd just get a 60-in-1 and install a JAMMA connector assuming the connector isn't JAMMA already.  Its not worth the time to try to fix a bootleg when there's no info out there for it and a new 60-in-1 would be more reliable.

Oo, I like this game!  Kinda rare too.  What's the story on finding it?  I don't know what the monitor is but i assume you tried adjusting it with the pots on the neckboard already?

If the name is 'Bite Monster', ya that sounds like a pacman clone.  Though there was Monster Bash from Sega in 1982.

I like your cabinet.  And yes, if some capacitors are bulging round at the top they should be replaced, and probably should just replace them all with a cap kit.

Jungle Hunt cabaret?!?  Very cool, didn't know it existed.

Oh ya, that really looks like its worth 1500 </sarcasm>.  It's filthy inside, stray wires, one isn't connected to anything, and it looks like he hacked in a PC power supply to the regular one for some reason.  Does it even work??  I'd say 200 is the highest he should be asking and it probably isn't even worth that.

I'm from Canada too.  I remember Space Panic, or maybe it was a bootleg.  Played it on ColecoVision as well and I remember a friend of mine getting a laugh out of the fart-like noise when one of the aliens runs into you.  Looks like it was in a Universal cabinet, so are you going to go with that shape?  As for my fave cabinet design, probably the old Namco one for Pac-Man/Galaga.

I love tokens.  Anybody heard of 'Jiggers' before?  Not me.
