Thanks. I hope to find a NOS control panel overlay at some point but that is wishful thinking. I am going to gut the cabinet and touch it up and repaint it soon. Then i'll rewire it so it will hopefully be as close to new as I can get. Someday i'll get a new monitor too but the burn in is very minimal on this one so its fine for now.

bleach out the cab, You don`t know what was inside it at one point, Maybe something bad....


Also, I think the Controll panel looks fine, I CPO it.

And All you need is a bezel, And it`ll be the nices commando game on NA for a long time!


Have fun, man. I can tell you REALLY wanted BC!

Thanks. These games are a blast to have and they are actually fun to re-build. I just wish I had a walk out basement or somewhere easier to get them in and out of.

Its temporarily back in business.  Since my PCB came in the mail today I had to try it out.

Nice looking cabs man! I wish I had more room so I could have some dedicated cabs in my place, but having 2 in a one floor condo is plenty already. I just got a killer after market NOS 12 button CPO for my Egret 29, when I get a free weekend I'll install it and take some pics.

If you haven't been there already, Lizard Licks has some of the best deals and fastest shipping I've ever experienced when it comes to arcade parts. If I need some really obscure jap stuff, Per at akihabarashop.jp has hooked me up in the past BIG TIME. Definitely give those two a go if you're looking for anything else.
