Ta! Gorf hasn't been too bad, touch wood. The monitor died a few years ago so I replaced it with a WG. Getting rid of the frame of the original monitor meant I could remove the black plastic bubble off the back of the cab, I replaced it with a bit of grille for ventilation. Contrary to popular belief, it's not the neck of the monitor that sticks out of the back door but the corner of the monitor frame.
I've got a couple of board sets to swap PCBs though should something go - at least I'd be able to isolate the fault and know which PCB to look at. Working on them isn't easy though with them all being in the cage.
I need to replace a few of the lamps - thinking of fitting some LED strips for power saving and reliability in the three "marquee" areas. It's running on a switcher but from a harness that plugs into the original unmodified loom.

Here you go Muppz - bit dark as it was foggy on Skaro, Dalek playing Star Wars. Mixing sci-fi somewhat...
The lights are el-cheapo purple Xmas light from B&M bargains, but they've a degree of UV to them so I keep them up permanently.
This one's a bit clearer:

Good taste
I've had the Sinistar for about 10yrs now. The monitor has a little bit of foldover which I need to look at but it plays well. Gotta love the speech on itchadsarcade said:Thunder Child said:Nice collection!

I'm in East Manchester, not too far from you if you need someone to 'playtest' your cabs for you!
Dalek + arcade cabs = WIN.

Chad, you ARE bringing this collection along to NERG
I got half a game out of the Asteroids last night before the game board died, and most the other cabs have niggles. Don't think it would make for a very happy gaming experience as they stand at present I'm afraid
Incidentally, what's the score with things like PAT testing if cabs are in use in a public event? Guess all the doors have to have working locks as well to keep folk out of the internal gubbins.
