That is super cool Ralph - what a find. Keep your updates coming - I absolutely love your repair posts. Cheers.

Ps. Nino mentioned a buggy game similar - it's not Moon Patrol is it (I think Moon Patrol was more a video game & maybe Nino's talking about a beach buggy)?
Cheers Andy , i will try get a few pics of the games i fix in the future , But here is the Dune Buggy game made by Midway , The one Nino mentioned. These are from the net , not mine unfornatley

The one I remember was more like a pinball with the revolving surface as the playfield area. It was a very large machine. Having said that, everything was big for me in 1975 ish.

A few more pics showing the sheer size of this thing! I still wonder how we got it into the house  %.%
This picture shows the Height, at 6ft tall ,  Like the size of a small photo both . And i reckon she weighs around 100kg at least
 When the Landscape assembly is removed you can get inside to work on it , which i did when fixing the Fluro sockets etc .
 The game plays great except for a intermittent switch "Explosion sound " issue.. But Explosion sound does work when a "Hit" is made
It's only me that knows! , most people wouldn't notice at all.. Maybe DD's would  &&
Fantastic old machines these EM arcade game are,everyone enjoys them that play em ..

Game paperwork , Showing adjustments and installation procecdures etc.
Last picture shows 'Wipers' under the Mirror .
 These align with the landscape Wipers and the sewn on metal patches under the landscape and coils to register a 'Hit' .
Personally i just use the Force and Stay on target!

It certainly came up great. As Nino said, it looks like a blast to play. Very cool.

Resurrecting an old thread... from Texas no less!


I recently acquired a Jet Rocket and am current restoring it.  I am missing the targeting light box but made one of my one.  Mine is almost 100% now but I am having trouble with the target on the far left.


Do you have the schematics and if so, could  you take a photo of the target hit section of that schematic?


Also, mine was missing the speaker.  What ohm rating is yours?


Your game looks great.  I've videoing my project work and will be posting it to YouTube once I'm done.  These games are getting more and more rare and there isn't a lot out there about them.  I found your post here through Google searches and I truly appreciate all the work you've done posting your progress.
