Point Blank In The Games Room

In The Games Room

And here it is!!! 😍 It didn’t work at first because one of the pins that attach to the safety cut off ‘plunger’ had fallen off (which was a heart stopping moment after 6 hours work!!!) But after reattaching, it fired up straight away! In the end I was quite glad to have taken it completely apart because it was absolutely filthy and I could then give it a really good clean!

I found a broken earth connection to the top box/ marquee and so I reconnected it, the problem I have now is that the box doesn’t light up but then I don’t actually know whether it did beforehand… It comes off easily enough though and just has mains connection going into it so I should be able to work it out pretty easily (later though, there’s gaming to be done!) Don’t know if it’ll stay in that place either, it does seem a shame to hide the Star Wars in the corner, I’ll probably swap them around so all the vector games are together. Things to do still:

Get a pink gun! Or a lens for player 2 at least so the second gun is operable. Get a new control panel overlay from NAMCO and some new holsters if they’re reasonably priced. Fix the lighting in the top box/ marquee - it’ll look fantastic when its done! Give the monitor a cap kit (it does tend to bend at the corners during gameplay).

I’m over the moon with it! Another cab to take off the wanted list! 😄 BIG THANKS to all concerned for all their help, you’ve made me very happy!
