Awesome stuff - nearly there!!!
Tehkan World Cup Conversion

The artwork was a combination of work by singy1uk and Muddymusic.
We paid for some of the artwork so I'm not sure it is fair if we just give it away?
Which bits do you need and is it for an orignal cabinet or repro build?

I can print you a set, it’s not my work to sell though so I’ll check if singy is ok with that first.
Singyuk has kindly said I can print out a set of the cp and side art for you, so I've dropped you a pm. If you end up needing a bezel decal as well I'll work that out with the guys who paid me to do the vector work.
I can't give out the files. It's fine to print you a set, but you'll have to speak to singy if you want the original files.
Not done an update on this for a while as I've been working on a Space Invaders, Paperboy, and various other things
I fired up the cabinet with the monitor and all was good but I wasn't happy with the image on the monitor so swapped out the tube for another one I had. I also noticed I had the orientation wrong for the monitor. Once I swapped it round I realised that the wiring I had done was a bit short so I'll need to re-do some of it. Doh!
I started a game but I just couldn't get the players moving at all well with the Benson Imperial trackballs, so didn't know if this was an issue with the trackball optics or the pcb.
So I've been doing some testing with just the PCB on my bench and some trackballs.
I noticed that with a couple of the Benson Imperials the players would not consistenly move in the right direction. I also found that I had to swap the wiring over for two of the connections.
I came across someone with a gridiron that had a similar issue:

So I tried my test setup with an original Tehkan Happ/Atari trackball and I found that the player moved around alot better, so I've fitted one controller with JST NH connectors so it plugs in as designed without any wire changes.
I will clean up one of the other Tehkan trackballs I have and hope the optic pcb's work as I'm very short of them.
I might also have to put an order in with arcadeshop to buy some rebuild kits. Hopefully the Happ/Atari kits fit the Tehkan trackballs

I'm pretty much there with this now, apart from a couple of niggles
I've just got to:
1) Mount the PCB in the cab
2) P2 controls are a bit juddery so I will look at swapping the opto boards to see if it makes a difference
3) The PCB has a slight graphics issue, so I will stick it on the bench and have a look at it.
4) Add a power switch to the cab
But as for the cab it is pretty much done

Very great job.
I have to restore mine too…..
