Pony II 28's

[JohnnyChaos]

These arrived yesterday from HOG.. and originally from Trocadero. a couple of years a go they'd had the old monitors replaced with Polo2's so they are burn free.. which is nice.

Tonight they were pushed in to place and turned on tonight to test. The monitors still need a bit of a tweak but I'll sort that when I can actually play them. But thankfully everything checked out fine.
Found a full set of locks for both in the coin box too so fitted those.

large sections have been resprayed, but a flatter grey than the original metallic grey so I'm going to look at putting them back to how they were... or as close as I can.

Are they getting rid of all these cabs now?

 

[JohnnyChaos]

no. he said he's keeping 4. which I guess is all he has left now. but it didn't matter to the customers whether it was a pony or an astro and he needed some funding to upgrade the PC room.

Nice JC, nice

Nice, I rather like the Pony cabs

They are awesome cabs. That's why I have 3.

They are awesome cabs. That's why I have 2.

 

[JohnnyChaos]

they do seem very nice. Good height cp. Nice angle to the screen. Just generally comfy to play.

I have one setup and up and running in Horizontal mode.
Very very happy with it.
The second one is for vertical goodness but still WIP and not functional as yet.
Slightly concerned that 28" vertical is too large for gameplay.

Man up and get some bullet hell in that cab

Made a quick repro marquee today. The fonts aren't exactly right, but it's not far off.

God I love those cabs! You lucky sod! Amazing. I had no idea HoG were getting rid of anything.

 

[virtvic]

If you'd only asked - I already have scans of them. I reproduced mine ages ago.

PM me your email address and I'll send them to you.

 

[JohnnyChaos]

thanks.
I was going to ask for when I had them printed up properly.

this only took about 10min

You're a member to our exclusive Pony club now. Not many of them in this country.

 

[JohnnyChaos]

thanks for the files

today I also picked up some Rustoleum "Satin Nickel - Metallic" spray

It seems a pretty good match for the original colour. Just a bit bigger particles. I tested it on the front of the coin box and it went on well.

Much better than the matt grey the front is currently sprayed.

 

[virtvic]

Oh nice - I will eventually have all mine powder coated white. Hitesh has made an excellent job of his and I hope to see them in the flesh when I get down his neck of the woods one day soon.

 

[Hitesh]

Victor

Decided to tackle the crappy matt grey today... On one at least.
As you can see from this pic they have at some point had the front sprayed grey.... It was obviously done without stripping the cab down as it's not grey on any of the internals or sides.
I guess it was the quickest way for the arcade to get them looking presentable and earning money..

They will (next winter) get stripped down properly and powder coated, but for the moment I figured all I need is to do to get them looking nice again is to colour match the original paint and go over the grey.

That's one down and one to go.
It's a very close colour match has gone on very nicely blending in to the original paintwork almost seamlessly.
I'll give it a couple of days to dry fully before shifting it and doing the second one.
