Missile Command

[Alpha1]

I also want my I, Robot marquee signed by Dave Theurer. I have worked out he works at Citrix.

Maybe we should post our marquees to him?

Looking good, what have you done to those poor rivets? Must be your gun, sheesh.

Yeah the gun is a big commercial job Nad and is a bit aqgressive but this is a minor problem old chap, don't let it get you down.

Tony's marquee is signed by Dave Theurer which is a nice touch but at the moment I just want the cab completed, maybe in a month or two would be cool?

Is the marquee populated?

Is the marquee populated?

Yeah dude it is. Came from an Irish MC too.

That's awesome...if you can dig it out would be great.

Let me know dude

Epic restoration, amazing dedication and a great read. Missile Command was one of the first console games i played on the atari 2600 great to see it being restored as it was meant to be.

I've been putting all of my Arcade spares into the attic this evening but decided to drop this into the cab as that's where it was going. It's a NOS WG D7700 ....and a couple of pics for James (tb lilley) They are digital and have a push button adjustment board....quite cool

Excellent! I thought you'd be happy with it!

I'm very pleased indeed - not something you come across very often. The guy I got it from was offered a pallet load of these back in 2006 - sadly this is the only one he bought (I did ask ....). Most chuffed.

I've fitted the Marquee and Trackball at last!

Have a small amount of wiring to sort out and will then throw a monitor in it next week and power it up.

Looks gorgeous Al. Proper stunning.

 

[Alpha1]

Wow very nice. I'm tempted to try and buy her back haha.

 

[tb2000]

Nice work!

Always nice to find a NOS monitor as well!

 

[PAC-MAN]

I don't think it will be staying here Oliver

Getting there James, funny looking cabs these....short & fat! As soon as I get away from Nintendo nowadays confusion sets in!!

 

[PAC-MAN]

James, did you ever get the D7700 working in the cab as that's what I hope to fit

 

[tb lilley]

They are a bit odd shape wise. I don't think Atari could make their minds up with MC. The proto had that huge marquee looming over the player which got chopped in the final design. There's also am industrial design document floating around where the marquee and speakers were perched under the control panel. Stone cold classic though!

I did Al. But involved a bit of a compromise - had to alter the position slightly of the left speaker. Not ideal. You may have more luck though - mine had seen service in a Revenge From Mars pinball. So it was mounted in a very odd frame - the monitor hung upside down over the play field. So I had to rehouse the whole lot in an old 4600 frame which I don't think helped much. It's in though and the picture is stunning.tb lilley2014-08-14 14:01:08

Nice one!

I have another WG to stick in it if it goes mental!
