Space Invaders Part 2 - Restoration
- Thread starter simplesi
- Start date
It's been a while, but I have been working away on the SIp2... although playing on it a lot.
I put together the door I received from LiquidX in Belgium... it needed a
wee paint up and clean, but does the job perfectly. I also got a key
for the lock from a good chap in the States. The lock is a Taito 8000.
P-Man... can get you a copy if you wish.
Here's an update on things:

Guys, I'm struggling here. Things have been going great recently... a
new coin door from LiquidX (thank you) all painted up and fully
restored, my boards repaired and working from Iron Giant in the UK
(thank you), Taito graphics from Etienne (thank you) and to everyone
else who has offered advice (ChrisChris, SuperUlly, Saleem, sorry if I
didn't mention any one).
However, I switched on my SIp2 on
Saturday and after 2 minutes of playing something blew. F@€K!!!!! I
switched it off then back on again. I can here a faint sound from the
speaker, like the sound of the UFO on all the time (this is normal for
my board set as I think I have the volume on too high). So something has
gone. There is nothing on the monitor. What can it be. I do not have a
clue... a fuse? Transformer?
Can you please help me resolve
this... I will not let this get the better of me. Although, I think I
have reached m limit on expertise here... I think I'm better at the
physical visual restoration (woodwork, metal work, etc) than the
internal bits and pieces.
AAAARRRRRRRRRRggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Any advice appreciated!

I know... I think maybe owning a "classic" car would be cheaper than trying to run a Space Invaders. I'm not going to give up on her though... needs TLC... and being my first dedicated cab, she will (no doubt) spend all my hard earned cash (which is hard when you run your own business) to get her back up and running
