Alca Space Firebird U/R

Well! I have been looking for an upright version of this game in what seems like forever! Having owned the table version for many years and to be fair that's the version I played back in the day in the pubs. I only ever seen and played an upright once in an Arcade and it was the Alca version.

So I have found one externally intact but raped inside! the good news is I have A boardset for it and one of those nos 17" monitors, annoyingly I recently sold 2 19" monitors!



so the internals look like this


A blank canvas almost! I found a picture in a thread on here that showed the internals, this gives me an idea of how it should be. Need to figure out in the boards are on a metal plate or wood.
I'm missing the credit board, power brick and psu, but I do have these spare from a cocktail table that I may have to use. If anyone owns one of these and can take picks that would be a great help? Even better if anyone has any of the parts I'm missing to restore it?

How it should look





Thanks Ronnie

I guess not many of these about, was hoping someone has or had a cab that might have some images, or even a similar styled Alca cab

Found this price list, looks like as well as an upright there was a compact cab too

Martin dropped this of on Sunday! Happy days, all in all in decent condition, first thing I did was strip the blue paint from the cash box door! Major improvement already. The coin door is wrong so I need to find a stainless steel one to match the bottom door, have put up a wanted post

I've got an Alca cab but Im missing my bottom door
Is your bottom door original with those carriage bolts?... And if so could you possibly post some pics so I can attempt to reproduce it please?..

Was going to make something out of wood but tbh would probably prefer to make it from metal!
P.S. I absolutely love the woodgrain shade on these!

 

[Ronnie Dent]

Yeah I think the bolts are correct, no problem to take some pics for you, which game have you got? I found this image of another one

 

[Ronnie Dent]

Here are some pics of the coin door, it is wood with a stainless steel facing bent round sides and top, hope these help. Would be nice to see some pics of your cab inside and out ?

Nice one thanks a lot, appreciate that!
I’ve got an ALCA Planet.. it’s a vector, and from what I’ve found out it’s more like an Asteroids deluxe gameplay wise.
The board boots up and I can play a game blind as I have sound but just get nothing on the monitor.
I’ll try and find some pics 👍
