Well this was the machine how it was found
Was great to plug it in and find the monitor was working and the pcb was Op Wolf Booty
By the time I got it, the left side front box was damaged, big chunk missing off the front corner
The whole machine was filthy, the original glass has a hole in the middle. so time to strip the cab and give it all a clean
Then unbolt the front section, which reveals original jamma cab front with whole for the upper coin door and nice mint artwork, if only they all looked like this now
Gun romoved
next job is to cut out a new sides for it, luckily I have some bits of wood from other scrapped goliath machines so it matches the original vinyl
ready to cut out
Next cut slots for T-Molding and paint edge black
holes drilled and ready to glue and assemble
gun plinth hole filled and metal plate made to go undernearth
plinth filled and covered
2nd side on
It's a shame it hasn't got the side artwork, obviously it's been removed at some point as it had little bits left round the bolts
But if you look at the flyer, that doesn't have artwork on the side of the gun box, yet this did, shame I couldn't put it back, but at least it does have the front art
The glass was a pain, ha ha
Shame it's got a hole in it, looks like it's been shot
I only had the one bit of original glass spare, which was very bad. so I did this with it, amazed it turned out so good.
good to know it's possible to restore it
When I came to fit it in the cab, it wouldn't push up enough to go in, at which point I measured the height of the glass to find that this Gun cab has special smaller size, now you have no chance to get this replaced
So I had to slightly mod the cab itself. the recess behind the speaker, I cut right through, but that also caused another issue, as the wood with the speakers on was also in the way, so I had to trim that down so the glass fits in, didn't want to risk cutting the glass down. Also if at any time it needs replacing, glass from any goliath will now fit
I stripped the coin chutes and repainted them, along with all the marquee brackets, side support brackets. re-blacked all the screws, nuts and bolts
I stripped the power supply block down, not sure what happended to the pictures of that, sure I did some, maybe in a wrong folder
Original Coin doors back on now
So the machine is all done apart from 2 locks and a working crossbow pcb
This was the finished machine, but it's now got the original coin doors and working with Yukon/Showdown PCB, which uses the gun to play Poker
