Q*Bert's back! Recapped the monitor (plus a new flyback) and rewired the cabinet (the last arcade tech that worked on this was a hack) I have a Taito-badged coin door that I'll swap in and I need to get rid of the coin box lock bar. The original 80s fluorescent marquee light still works somehow 1/X

Picked up a Q*Bert cabinet over the weekend. Released in 1982 by Gottlieb. It's completely dead, so I'll be restoring it. Everything's there (original PCBs, CRT, power supply, etc). Will update this thread as I work on it Here it is in my truck before I drove it home #conradsarcade qbert

(I'll replace that marquee tube with an LED) I still have the original (non-working) PCBs: sourcing a working set is next. It's currently running on a JROK Mystar FPGA via a JAMMA adapter, which also adds Mellow Yellow Q*Bert, Q*Bert's Qubes, and others 2/X www.arcadeshop.com/i/1060/mylst...
