Bought this cab off Martin;
http://www.ukvac.com/forum/subelectro-meteoroid-upright-saved-from-the-duke_topic334591.html
weirdly the bezel is upside down (rotated 180 degrees) so the monitor was partially hidden.
Not had much time with it as only got in in the house last night but managed to get the back door off without damaging anything other than the lock;
Some speculation on the monitor but turns out its an electrohome;
Mild asteroids screen burn - with atari copyright
tube is clean, what looks like splatter is reflection of stones in pavement;
AR equivalent... 'big blue' and rectifier diodes on this rather than the 'power brick' pcb;
Game PCB more familiar looking;
Overall the cab is very tidy, the glass bezel is showing some signs of delamination and there are some marks where the coin doors have been forced and the back door attempted to be forced at some point. The CP is a little rusty and the dag is flaking on the monitor. Other than that its really clean and looks really smart with its shiny glass marquee.
Preliminary testing reveals the transformer is dead; doesn't blow any fuses but gives no outputs. Could be as simple as a loose connection... and that's as far as I got.
