What a Journey

Looking on local CL one afternoon and spotted what looked like a familiar cab. Called the guy to see it and you could just make out the old art outline on the cab. I knew we had a Journey!
Now the biggest task, Finding the parts. When I unloaded it I was pleasantly surprised to find all the original wiring and paper tags that marked it Journey upright.
I contacted a couple of guys on KLOV that had items for sale and picked up two pcb's that were used to build one and a dual amp board. I ordered the art package from This Old Game. Rich prints the marquee and bezel on glass like the original, Looks amazing!
We have a few other items to fix/ Build Like the cassette shelf and an annoying hum, But we are nearly complete.

Long Time No Post!

Been really busy the last few months. Have a few new projects to report in on. First up, Purchased a couple Robby Roto boards. We now have all the parts to complete the build. We dug out some old projects from Brads shop and finished them. A couple were duplicate games. A Tron and a SpyHunter that we traded off. Out of the deal came a Q-Bert from Arcade Sales and Rental. Brad had wanted this game for some time now. We never see any up for sale in this area.
The last machine is a de-conversion. I finally tracked down all the parts and currently waiting on This Old Game to send my artwork. It was turned into a Cal-50 but still had all the wiring in it. I bet you can figure out what it is by the shape!
