Electrocoin- continental midi cabinet
- Thread starter Flyback2021
- Start date
Missed this, wow it's nice to see cabs from flyers that you don't see, shame about the paint job
Wish I could have bought that EC Gun cab on ebay and few years back and worked out what game that was, like Op Wolf Midi but front was different and that EC Fibreglass Cockpit was cool to see on ebay

Hi mate
Yep, never seen one before so am excited. I still don’t entirely know what the paint is - the stubbornness of it would suggest oil but with colored wood chip in possibly.
Been really going for it today.Hopefully it looks like the flyer one day 😂

Took advantage of a dry few hours to remove all metal work ready for restoring . The is some nice details such as the angled slide out pcb holder shelf and also some work where coin panel fits.
Very curious to see how it plays. Nice height and like the angled screen.

The quatrain was a credit board that could store the credits(load in the coins) and allow up to 4 players start buttons to take a credit as and when requested I think, have to see if I still have the manual, so long ago lol.

Interesting. I could find very little info about it.
I think the Joysticks I picked up from you will be a perfect match on this cabinet 🙂

Fortune 4 is definitely on my list should one ever surface .
Feel pretty pleased with what I have currently that said would never turn down an Electrocoin cabinet in need tho - especially if it’s life in danger or outside !
Never really studied the credit board timelines, I remember vids just going from one S10 mech controlled by game board dips to two S10 mechs(50p and 10p) controlled by game board. Then I remember things like Sega hang on coming out and having a mars EM5 mech with the VCC credit board(later upgraded to CCU). Then I think we converted generic vid cabs with the 2 S10's. The 50p mech got converted to a mars ms111 with a credit board I think Philip Shefras supplied us the conversion, but we left the 10p S10 in working in case the 'New' stuff broke down. Not sure after this, pretty sure Outrun started as a £1 S10 mech, vaguely remember converting our one over to electronic. A few years blank around that point lol, I know the klingon credit board became the workhorse but thought it came after another credit board that basically had put the quatrain to bed.hmm

Great industry info and detail!
Sure @69er would enjoy this coin mech through the ages chat.
Slightly off my thread topic but while we are talking coin mechs I am at ill trying to find out who produced these tokens which were in the run and gun (sega deith) cabinet I picked up at start of year . Are these Deith tokens ?

The pull out PCB holder panel is great, better than having to pull out the control panel to access, more like Atari System 1 cab front access
One of my Favourite cab designs is Taito Double Dragon with draw at the bottom that the PCB sits in, no messing, just a key, pull out swap pcb and back in, brilliant and no real need to fix in place

Crikey …
have to do this in bursts, heavy going and being super careful on wood grain so following vertically along it.
I did think to myself (perhaps wishfully) what if this cabinet had never gone into full scale production ?
I am Confident I can get it back close to the flyer.

Yes they are very rare indeed. I've only ever seen 2 Fortune 4 cabs. One was a pic many years ago which had the four player control panel but converted to 2p only and the other is mine that has the smaller 2p control panel for dedicated Street Fighter 2 as in the brochure. Pretty sure I've changed those joysticks that's an old pic..

Thing of Beauty that Matt !
Takes me back to playing against the local hoodlums in Southport as a teenager!
Inspired me to crack on with the paint removal of this midi!
