ataritoobin's Collection

[ataritoobin]

Hello there!

My name is Steve and I'm a collector from the United States. Been
collecting for about 14 years now, and my primary interest is releases
from around the world in their original configuration, namely early 80s Japanese releases/cabinet configurations.

My current collection is pretty modest due to space issues, but the current lineup includes:

- Atari A.P.B.
- Atari Tempest
- Namco Galaga
- Nichibutsu Moon Shuttle (also use this cab to play Crazy Climber and Frisky Tom with newly made CPs and adapters as not to disturb the original parts)
- Nintendo Donkey Kong
- Taito Space Invaders
- Taito Space Invaders: Part II
- Taito Space Seeker
- Williams Robotron: 2084

Below are a few pics to share.

Regards!
-Steve

Very nice! I especially like your Tempest, and I'm really pleased to see somebody who wants to play other games in a dedicated go to the trouble of making impact-free control panel and loom swap-ins for them. Excellent work Steve

Every time I see that model of Tempest cab it makes me want one more and more. I love it. Beautiful condition - as is all your collection

Steve - lock your doors and get your pump action in the games room. If Jodo has his eyes on one of your cabs, screw the pond between us - he's like the Terminator and he WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THAT GAME IS HIS

ps Should we expect to see a new resto/collection thread from your good self Mr J. Odo?

Oh there will be one for sure

- I get the cab in question next week but it's a 2 and a quarter hour drive to where it's stored to work on her, so progress will be....slow

I don't think I've posted pics of all my machines in one thread. To be honest, since I last posted pics of a cab I'd bought, I kind of got sidetracked and bought 6 Space Harrier cabs, an Egret 3 and an AWSD

It's actually going to be 2 resto threads - I just bought a Gauntlet 2 as well that has a board issue

No, need to have another look at it.

I replaced the triacs but still the same, just need a bit of free time to have a proper look.
