A larger update for my Trade / Sell / Wanted page. Lots of Vector PCB's and Classic Raster PCB's. A small update for Red Baron Cockpit version, there is a new pictures series.
Very interesting is also a report about a Red Baron prototype for the
upright cab. Read the full article on www.rotheblog.com. The new owner is Francis Mariani at www.ataricade.com.
This
was a long search, but finally it showed up here in Germany.... the
Upright Cabinet "METEOR" by HOEI, an Asteroids Clone. More pictures are
here, at the end of the overview.
The Upright has an LAI XY Monitor installed. Unfortunately
there is no sideart attached.
Restoration
of my Starhawk continues: New pictures and a video with sounds (9Mbyte)
here: "Starhawk
Project".

Bought
two
fascinating vector machines, Starhawk (b/w vector by
Cinematronics) and Eliminator (color
vector by
Sega/Gremlin) in the U.S. after I found a way to get
them shipped for a reasonable price to Germany. The only picture
I have so
far is from the sellers web page
(www.coinopwarehouse.com)
and it shows the machines in their current condition which is
described as "good, complete and
non-working". Let's see ;)
