Op Raid: March 2014

The Deliveryman
Newbie
Some cabs are here and some still at the Op but all is in hand.
I had a massive two weeks with a trip to Scotland which took two days that wasn't planned, along with a trip to the Slam which again wasn't part of my plan.
I've covered just sort of 6500 miles in less than two weeks, all in pursuit of arcade goodies, so a well earned rest over Easter.
I'll take time over Easter to plan all the collections and deliveries and update accordingly.
Any questions, call me on 07748 521550.
Regards Martin.

Beware the Hillman
i know what Martin is like
he will deliver he just doesn't know how to manage the time and makes changes last min so if he says a cab will be delivered that day it may not
but he will eventually deliver
im not fussed, i know i will get it when i get it

Beware the Hillman
exactly once Martin has it, it sits in his storage and is as safe as pie
then its a case of when he gets a chance to deliver it

Martin dropped off my spoils yesterday...
This is the photo of the cab at the Op's and It was unknown whether it would work or not. Most other cabs were working so I was pretty hopeful.
After having the cab delivered, I proceeded to take all the usual steps I do with a new cab. Look for any loose screws or washers that would short out PSU's etc, unplug the monitor and unplug the game board. Once that was done I turned the cab on and check the PSU and monitor voltages. Every thing checked out out mains voltage in 110V on the Switcher and 240V on the monitor. The PSU has +5,+12 & -5Volt all sitting nicely.
It was also nice to bee greeted to some paperwork and a service manual in the back of the cab.
Next up was plugging the monitor power back in, I was expecting to this not to work as I discovered this sign attached to the monitor board.
Expecting sparks to start flying or smoke I cautiously re-powered the cab and fortunately the monitor seemed to power up ok, I had neck glow and some light on the tube. Fingers crossed this was actually working.
Next up was plugging the game boar back in... I turned the cab on and shat myself as it gave a few loud audio beeps which made me jump! After 30 seconds or so I went round the front of the cab to see this...
Holey Moley the game seems to work! I coined up and off I went of a world tour. The coin mech even works fine. I adjusted the volume to a more sensible level for home use and wow that's it, a working cab. A few more photos of the cabs insides:
The picture on the monitor need some adjustment as to focus looks soft and the image is washed out, but overall this seems to be a solid cab, the game is just a bit poor...
I'm also very interested to see the sticker below attached to the cab. Made by SEGA? Quite fitting as I do intend to turn this into a multi driver SEGA cab once my other projects are up and complete.
Cheers to Oll for organising the raid!

The shape of your cab looks identical to my Scud Race upright ! Only the pedals and dash look different

I think there was a Daytona or maybe a Scud cab on ebay recently that looked like this shape cab too.
The switcher in this cab is made by Deith Leisure along with the manual, The picture of the gear shift in one diagram is the same as Sega cabs not like this Midway game.
I think someone mentioned the Outrunners from this raid was a Deith Leisur cab as well, I take it there were a distributor for Sega then?
You been brave enough to turn it on then?
Your monitor surround looks dirty but in great nick. Mine is full of fag burns it looks like yours has none?
I can take a few photos of the insides of my Hang-on if you want to see what it should look like in there.

Nah, not yet. Took one look at spaghetti junction in there and figured it has "weekend" written all over it
Looks like a new power supply was fitted maybe? Plus other mods. If you get a chance to snap yours, that'd be cool, thanks dude.
