Storage looks just about as bad as mine, lol.
Trying to move some of the smaller items back home readying to move into the new workshop once complete.
Oh my, oh my. Is this a real time resto, or did you start this a while ago?
A wonderful fun game, which I would love to play on this cabinet.
Never ever saw one (that I can remember), in this format, so hugely looking forward to this one.
Don't let me down, buddy!!

It's another that's already done. I just refused to post anything deep with content on Webwiz!

That looks super amazing. Never had a chance to play it.
I watched one of Alex's youtube videos last night "Alpha1 Revisted" and this beauty was in action. Amazing looking cab, loved that game on the home computers back in the day, I've never actually played the arcade version of it.

There'd be some weight in that I'm sure!
So unfortunately I have lost the pictures of the boot issues the game had.
The game would power on, then start to reset, before going to a solid blue screen on all monitors stating a board error.
This turned out to be a bad starter that was dragging the voltage for the board down. So a nice easy fix.

The left monitor unfortunately had leaking HV. You could hear the squeal of it, and the monitor picture would jump and squash.
On top of this all monitors were seriously out of colour alignment between each other.
In came @backflipper to the rescue and fed with a curry and some beers, he first cleaned all monitors.
Once that was done the left monitor was still leaking HV. He noticed it had a new flyback, and he decided to inspect the neck board. Here he noticed a bridge in the spark gap plastic that was causing the HV leak jump. He cleaned this up with a file and we had a working left monitor.
All that was left was the colour alignment across the monitors.
