I spent a portion of Saturday evening stripping the parts out of the Dig Dug cabinet. There are essentially two reasons for doing so: 1. You’ll see that the cabinet is filthy inside and 2. I don’t want anything to get in the way when I attempt to repair the chipped off corner. Below are [...]

Dig Dug - Original Flyers
The plan for tonight this week is to start stripping the Dig Dug cabinet of it’s parts and giving it a thorough cleaning. In the meantime, here are a couple scans of the original Dig Dug marketing flyer.
Omega Race - New Control Panel
The control panel on the Omega Race cabinet was in pretty rough shape. Several of the bolts were missing, leaving holes in the panel and a larger section of the lower left hand corner was torn off.

Omega Race - Parts Swapped
I’ve finally gotten around to swapping all of the parts from the new cabinet to the original cabinet. Here are a couple of photos of my progress:
Track & Field Marketing Flyers
I’ve ordered and received new buttons and leaf switches for this game. Unfortunately, Omega Race is taking up most of my workbench space so their won’t be much work until that project progresses a bit. In the meantime, here are some scans of the original marketing flyer for this game:
