Firefox U/R Project Cab

[Jodo]

Hi all,

My latest MAME project arrived today. I can't wait to get rid of those nasty unreliable wires and boards and put a 486 and LCD screen in her

...of course I am genuinely joking. I am however very excited about the potential to restore the cab. It's in very nice condition. Far nicer than I thought and clean / dry / solid too. It has a 3-PCB set and all the original loom, power and wiring inside but no LD player (I knew this when I bought her.) I have a NoS 19" 15k monitor here to fit (hoping Firefox wasn't medium resolution or anthing nasty?) and I'm on Dave's list for the LD solid state replacement. I have no intention to butcher or do anything to the cab apart from restore it. The bezel surround is sagging - I'm not sure yet (but hopeful) that can be saved. I'm pleased to say it has the yoke and CP dial arts intact!

Phil.

Welcome to the club, does it smell of haggis?

 

[Jodo]

Yes it is from Scotland It smells of winning

I am hoping the wiring to the monitor is there and hasn't been chopped. We'll see.

The bezel surround thing looked kinda squished, i think it may go back into shape though.
I was genuinely impressed by the condition of this cab for nearly 30 year old and who knows how long stored in a barn or something.

A good clean and she'll look braw

if it uses them biggish cardboard surrounds i have one from a blasteroids,real nice.

Looks quite nice already dude.....great start! I'm sure you'll have it mint before long.

And a NOS monitor, super awesome. Well played........I'm sure this cab is deserving of it, not that I ever played one BITD. In fact I don't recall ever even seeing one.

I'm waiting for the legend that is Dave Spicer on the LDP replacement pcbs also.

Jodo if you want a complete but non working (will power up but mirrors won't be aligned) original player I have some of them.

Lmao I can guess there was a few miffed people about that

Never mind about getting it mint, just get it working... I was interested in it but that's ebay for you. However, I still have ROTJ, that has potential for a conversion especially if these LDP replacements ever go live

 

[Jodo]

Trying to make room for this so I can work on her. ROTJ may have to go into storage to free up a spot. I've been distracted with selling a couple of my cabs and also another new purchase but updates are coming...
