    Really?

    Im attempting to fix it up right now,

    I have successfully stripped both machines and cleaned every part thats cleanable haha.

     

     

    :) Once theres more room in basment i start on redoing the cabinets, Im thinking of using particle board is that alright?

    I know chipboard is a cheap easy fix but its not durable enough but i know particle board is a bit stronger yet affordable compared to plywood.

     

     

    Crystal Castles is almost completely cleaned out aswell, I have stripped it clean too heh, I dont think i have ever seen so much dust on a monitor in my life.

    I need ONE cord which i know what it is,

    If you look on the side of the power suply for crystal castles there is a 3 point piece,

    That is where the power cord goes to hook into the wall,

    I need a new one but i cannot locate one in my own town, do you know where i can get another one?

    These are Pictures, the Vs. Duckhunt is confusing I was told and thought it was a Playchoice machine,

    but im unsure if it is, but if it isn't well then ill just replace PCB with mario PCB.

    OK this post has been changed 100% because i have the machines in my hand now.

    :)

    OK well i obviously need to fully restore these cabinets and games, and fixup whats wrong.

    IM a newbie but im doing my research because thats what you do, don't touch before you research.

    The crystal Casltes has no power supply ( the guy has taken it out JOY! ) -.-'

    So you know i wasn't there for the delivery so things are a bit different but i am happy.

     

     

     

    DUCK HUNT/NINTENDO MACHINE:

    The pictures will be uploaded once im home ( at school at the very moment)

    The Nintendo Duckhhunts cabinet I want to replace the wood and screws on bottom and back ( not up to my standards) but that part is easy, heres the fun part,

    Where inside do I put the chips to replace games?

    I need to fix up the coin slot, buy a lock for it,

    Make it easy to switch from freeplay to coin operated.

    New CRT monitor because it looks a bit burnt out.

     

     

    Then Done :D

     

     

    Atari Crystal Castles

    The cabinet is so nice it only has a few marks on it which when i repaint, and Add the side artwork it will be perfect!

    The control panel is great the ball works, when i tested it.

    Im unsure about whats missing, i wish i was there for delivery to question.

    Uhm the Audio Board is loose, not hooked up period,

    Yea I know i bit off a bit more then i can chew, but I think its a great project to keep me out of trouble with.

    Once I do that i will have a perfect Crystal Castles Machine,

    The marquee lights everything works like new!

    The monitor is perfect,:)

     

     

    So you guys think I can do it?

    haha.

    lol

     

     

    thanks for the updated information

    and when i recieve the unit ( if it looks good enough [ pictures can be decieving] ) ill buy it,

    One thing is i want to know which board is replaceable ill send pictures etc so you guys can point out,

    This is gona be fun!

    :D

     

     

    and about the voltage

    Wouldn't that actually help the life of the marquee and monitor?

    Well the marquee to be specific

    less voltage = more time before fading colors wouldn't it be?

    because its a less bright light

    :)

    well i did some research

    I either wanted the Neo Geo with a numerous slot board

    or a nintendo Playchoice

     

     

    I found a nintendo Playchoice with DUCKHUNT!

     

    I am curious to know a few things though!

     

    here is the information i have gathered.

    http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7665

     

     

    Now What I don't know!

     

     

    nintendo Playchoice machines Are they simliar to the Neo Geo where you can replace a few parts inside to play a different game.

    Looking at the cabinet i see that it has buttons and a gun, so therefore, i had the idea I could find mario, donkey kong or something

    and put it inside the cabinet, is this possible :D lol.

     

     

    Also is there issues with these machines i should be aware of or anything?

    I was quite curious looking at the genius Ben Hacks website, I noticed that he made a portable Atari 2600 system. I therefore went into further research and found it numerous times, I was curious if there was an actual portable system in production currently or somebody would have them for sale, My father enjoys shopping ahead * YES THIS FAR AHEAD * for christmas presents. YES I KNOW ITS OCTOBER!. but i get a few things early, In and around November, and I want a portable Atari 2600 if i can find one at a decent price, that will play the North American 2600 Carts.

     

    if you are unsure what i said *cough the other post *

    ill re explain, i apologize for my grammer its getting better though.

    Well it was until my friend used it at his house that this problem occured, I don't understand why i let other people persistantly use my things. ( minus my atari's nobody touches em :) )

    But i mean

    I persist on lending out things, i sure get them returned, but not working as well -.-'

    no respect you know?

    I got to smarten up,

    I used new connector and cleanedout system, and before,

    it worked 100% never got a blinking screen for months.

    But yes, try bending the pins.

    Ugh i should post pics of what happens when you bring your PSP to schoool...
