StanJr Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It was a home-use only, there are less than 400 clicks on the coin counter and it is pretty much in mint condition. The SEGA sticker over the keyhole is still pretty much intact! Oh mama, this baby is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Nice job! Heaviest damn cabinet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 It was a monster. No on/off button either, just plugged in or not. The fan in the back is uber loud, we are thinking of pulling the power to it. Two milk juggy kind of things for the coin collection as well. SEGA had some odd ideas.

Standard cabinet though allowed for super easy and quick conversions and Sega had many! I like the design a lot, just not the petrified wood they used in building 'em. lol The milk jug-looking cash boxes were very necessary. Imagine a time where people played these things non-stop and operators couldn't empty 'em fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice job! Heaviest damn cabinet though Tell me about it, just sold my Zaxxon last month...my back still hurts It was a monster. No on/off button either, just plugged in or not. The fan in the back is uber loud, we are thinking of pulling the power to it. Two milk juggy kind of things for the coin collection as well. SEGA had some odd ideas. Yeah, all sega cabs were made with no on/off switch. Kind of annoying but easily corrected at my house with a power strip HUO Congo Bongo with only 400 plays? Very rare find. I am pretty sure there is no FREE PLAY option on it so that might actually be a pretty accurate number. Was a credit button installed anywhere? The milk jug coin holders were to stop the quarters from spilling over on to the internals of the machine and short stuff out, like save2600 mentions there was a time when these things would be played ALL day and night in the right location You can plug a Zaxxon PCB (and others) directly into this, careful though, in my opinion Zaxxon is better left a memory It was a monster.

LOL When I was lifting Zaxxon out of my basement the "petrified" false bottom literally exploded from the weight of the cabinet on the 2 wheeler. I am still stepping on Zaxxon splinters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 When the dealer we bought it from acquired it, he installed a high score panel to save the high scores and that added the free play option, but no originally it had no free play option, so that coin counter number should be spot on!

Nice! I didn't know they made a HSK for Congo Bongo but I suppose since they made one for Zaxxon they might as well right Cool find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Very nice! For me though, Congo Bongo was too tough to enjoy. I may have beat level 4 ONCE. Normally I can't get that far. Collision detection is a bit too touchy IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nice job! Heaviest damn cabinet though I dont know...my OutRun might have that beat in the weight category. That thing is beastly heavy for an upright. I thought about selling it once and the guy told me I'd have to pay him to take it! As for the new Congo Bongo cab...man that looks minty fresh!!!!
