Game: Q * Bert
Manufacturer:
Gottlieb
Year: 1982
Original Location played: Chuck
E Cheese/Sacramento
Cabinet:
This cabinet was given to me by Bill Kurtz (O-Town Amusements) without
any boards or monitor chassis - I basically had a cabinet with sideart.
Luckily I had a working boardset/sound board and a dead power supply
board.
Art:
The control panel overlay came from Arcade Renovations. The sideart
and front art was in perfect shape, so I had no reason to replace them.
Marquee:
This was given to me by Chris Walker (Atlanta) for delivering a
game to him. Its the rare "Swear" marquee. This will be reproduced
soon by Phoenix Arcade.
Boardset:
I purchased the Multi Qbert boardset from Arcadeshop and installed
it within minutes. This allows you to play 3 games in one cabinet, the
games included are: Q*bert, FHMC Q*bert and Q*bert's Qubes. It also
has high score save!
What I did:
* Cleaned the game both inside and out.
* Had to totally rebuild the original power supply and replace every
old piece of there.
* Find a monitor chassis and recap it.
* Install the Multi Kit.
* Remove the old overlay and install a new one.
Current Status:
Game is in my gameroom and works 100%.
