Can I register my interest straight away for the surplus machine !
Got another massive atari resto planned myself already for next year and think a Jedi would go really nice alongside it.
Cheers

You know, if I come to sell it I would love for it to stay in the community rather than ebay it to a random. But no idea what to value it at, the black vinyl alone cost well over £200!! But given it took two years to restore this one, that's not a question I'll have to concern myself with for quite some time!

Amazing result love how crisp everything looks,
it goes to show great results are possible with the right effort.
I feel for you regarding the mess ups but thanks for including them
Theres a lot of valuable info here for someone doing a similar job.
Its been cool watching john's i,robot resto along with this one too.
Definitely interested in seeing how you mame the cab,
I might do similar, it would be cool to play firefox etc. in this cab.
Thanks for all the posts and detail and well done on a superb restore
It was actually quite therapeutic getting those c*ck up demons off my chest and into print! Thanks for listening!

Good call - we'll move it over soon!
OMG! All the pain will have been worth it

I've had the pleasure of seeing this in the flesh when it was all broken down and unrecognizable and to see it know all fully built up and looking brand new is just fantastic Jim
....hats off to you mate you said you would get there in the end and you have,looking forward to having a go (I have old 10ps as well
).....I'm not that good at the game so hints and tips would be appreciated

dj_yt said:A great post. That's the thing about restorations - you could always do them better second time around!
Thankfully it sounds like you'll get that chance.... although I don't know if I could handle doing the same machine twice.
Hopefully I have made every mistake possible, so the next one should be breeze - famous last words!

Yeah bring yer 10ps Russ! I will be curious to see what you think of the Mame Star Wars - you above all people will be able to advise how authentic it looks and plays. I have actually got Star Wars playing on it, but the front end is quite buggy.
Jodo said:Well that's just about the best Jedi restoration I've ever seen
Out of interest, how did you manage to contact joeycuda on KLOV? I'd heard he was no longer doing these bezels and was not answering any requests to do so?
It was a good year ago, maybe more, when I sent off for them, so perhaps he's no longer doing them. That will be a shame cos they were great quality....
