Title: More games
Post by: bubba on December 21, 2007, 07:15:18 am
Its raining arcade games..... a buddy was doing a job and came across a few games in his travels... After talking, he said to come pickup the Millipede game... condition unknown. I stopped by this house last night, and we loaded it into my truck. While I was there, he wanted me to look at another game... Its a Sega Outrun mini... So we threw that in the truck also.. Got home last night, and Millipede works, just needs a lube on the trackball. Haven't tested the Outrun yet, but my guess is that it works also. The side art on the Millipede is gone, but can be replaced...


All this for Free......

His wife is also going to let me know tonite about a Pac Man for sale cheap as well. Merry Christmas to me..

Nice finds Bubba!  The Trackballs are pretty easy to take apart and clean.  If I had more room an Outrun would be next on my list of games to find! (http://www.brentsarcade.com/smilies/driving.gif)

I had the trackball apart and the shafts are shot.. its amazing how a piece of plastic can wear on a steel shaft. I did clean and lube the bearings for temp use... It works ok, but I'm going to order the rebuild kit.

The Outrun works, but one of the steering gears is broken..  :down: I haven't seen repair parts for these wheels... I think I really need a whole new CP to make the game right. I do like that game though. I'll try to get some pics this weekend if I get time..
