I am leaning towards Popeye. I like the idea of bringing it back to its original state. Plus I wont need to get vertical mount brackets!

All I need now, is to find a Popeye PCB.

I got an original Popeye that was converted to a Black Tiger. It has the original Bezel and other misc. parts. I am missing the game PCB, the cage, the marquee and the control panel / overlay. It was painted black and I am guessing the side art was ruined. I am looking for parts for Popeye but was thinking maybe it would be better to restore it to a DK. What do you guys think? Before I get too far.

I think it's a Popeye. The blue paint is showing through the black.

Here is the Nintendo plate I found:

I found a cabinet for sale. It is definitely a Nintendo cabinet. I am not sure which. It was converted to a Black Tiger. It still has a Popeye bezel. Any idea guy on what this is? Hoping it is a Popeye. They are asking $250. Going to see if I can get them down to $100.

Might be helpful to you. A guy is selling an empty Gorf cab.

If you can get it shipped from Cleveland.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I recently just got a Space Encounter. It is missing the color overlay. A replica would be fine.

I saw video of it. I am pretty excited to rehab this one. My first restore project. Smiley

Picked up the cabinet. It is missing the power pcb. I think I found a replacement for it. A Midway 8080 power supply kit.

I got it down to $60. Going to go look at it Sunday!

I found an arcade machine for sale locally and the lady knows nothing about it. She wants $150 for a Space Encounters Upright Cabinet. I was going to see if I could low ball her. What would this be worth if fully restored? Is $150 too much?
15  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Speaker Recommendation on: April 07, 2017, 01:55:49 pm
Looking at buying some speakers for my cab. And I am a little unsure what to get. I was looking at Car speakers for easy mounting. What do you guys recommend? Are most car speakers shielded? Or are only PC speakers shielded. Trying to figure what to buy.

Appreciate it!
