One of my fav BGs, and a cool game. Looks pretty decent pre-resto!
-
Looks to be in very good condition. What's the plan ?

The playfield is maylared and I'm happy to keep it that way at this time. I have stripped and cleaned the playfield. I need to rebuild the flippers, still tossing up the best way to do this and I am open to advise on this. I am going to sandback and respray the cabinet once I get the stencils off Gav. I have rebuilt/repaired the MPU board, it wasn't to bad really. I need to fix the sound card, never put a tantalum capacitor in the wrong way on the 5Volt in line, looks pretty with the orange flame and blue smoke but doesn't make the sound card work to well! You live and learn, I should have been paying move attention. Legs have been stripped back and reprayed in hammer tone grey, they came up great, not you can tell in the photo. Need to take a

MPU board after battery damage repair. I have a heap of lithium batteries and holders coming in from HK thanks to ebay. I will install a holder and battery on the board when I get them. Now for that sound card.....

Looks real cool - and that pin rocks!
Really cool game and glad your putting the time and effort into this to bring her back to her former glory ^^^
Keep the updates coming.
Just one small bit of advice - spend the cash and replace the 3 bumper caps, well worth the money spent and makes the game came alive
-
Still waiting on the bumper caps and bodies for the PBR, they were out of stock. I'll post more pics as I go.
Thanks for the comments.
-
Very nice.
The playfield scrubbed up really well.
I'd love to see some more close up pics.
-
Playfield looks great already and as for the smoke and flames thats the fun part !*! My fingers are crossed that any damage is minimal
-
Here are the lastest pics of the Cosmic Princess. Progress has been a little slow, still waiting on parts from the PBR. Been doing the thankless jobs like new pins and connectors. Anyway, enjoy.

Hey max profits what did you use to bring up the mylar that good,also interested whats involved when you say you repaired acid damage to mpu.
-
Dan (Maxprofits) is a good guy, I brought a parts machine from him in January. He doesn't get on the forums that much so you mightn't end up with a response unless he happens across this thread again at some stage.
-
Thanks for the heads up crashcramp I will try a pm.

I am going to sandback and respray the cabinet once I get the stencils off Gav.
Hey did Gav end up making stencils for cosmic princess, I need a set badly!! @@^
-
As far as I know, I didn't get any pics of the artwork for this. I have had a complete computer wipe out though a couple of years back and lost a hell of a lot of stuff.. so if I did get them.. I don't have them now
-
I could take photos of the artwork from onetaste's machine if it helps you make some? I would need some down the road...
-
Oh im happy to make them.. but yes.. do need square on pics of cabinet, front, header sides and also dimension verification
-
Ok, i should be able to do that, i'll do the sinbad as well.
Need to get my hands on a camera stand...
-
I could get some pics off a mate if you have no luck.
My machine was given to me by a mate who passed away last year. Unfortunately he stripped all the artwork off. He had done drawings by using clear film then drawing the artwork onto the film but I really dont want to make the stencils by hand from them, would be a bloody nightmare to cut, especially around her hair @.@
