You have to change your name to Astro Boy now. Last year I legally changed my name to Egret.

<sigh> I'd love a cab again. God knows why though, I haven't even had time to play a game in weeks.

For that very reason, Colin! I have no time for games, but I can manage 20 mins on the cabs and have fun.

Me neither mate. I just like restoring and building stuff Will probably end up a beautiful museum piece Still won't sell the bastard though - learnt from my past errors. This is the first step in me going full Zaki.

There's a quite a few scrapes and I'm replacing the panel and potentially the sticks too, giving it a respray - or rather a mate from a body shop will probably replacing the bezel, getting a new strip light (probably go LED to be honest *oh, the horror*) and the PCB door is a bit hacked up but some div so will replace or repair that too. Monitor has some burn but not that noticeable, only real time I saw it was on the Shinobi high-score scroll. Sending off the monitor chassis for a tune and recap. I was going to rewire it all for 240V but to be honest the wiring is in really good shape so will leave that for the forseeable. I'll also scan all the stickers from the back and remake them and get new side stickers as they are quite scraped. Er...that's it

Yeah probably Actually retroarching it Since SwitchRes became part of it, and runahead too. Already have a PC build tested on my PVM, but will probably make another for ****s and giggles since I have another machine with a 1gb Radeon 5450 and a 90gb SSD.

I bet there's a ton of satisfaction in restoring something like this. Keep us posted

Will do. Yeah, truthfully will probably spend more time restoring than playing I like restoring and building at heart!

Where are you getting the monitor done, mine is in need of some TLC but struggled to find someone to do it.
