The Q*Bert Project

Another project has begun...

It seems like I'm working on quite a few different projects right now--some of which I don't even have time to put up on the site (my SA '91/DL2 daughterboard for example). But, I recently had the opportunity to pick up a Q*Bert machine for a really good price.

In the next few weeks I will be adding more pictures of my Q*Bert machine, the restoration process, and getting it working. It wouldn't be fun if there wasn't some work to do. And while I like Q*Bert, I'm not as paranoid about making mistakes (at least not like with my Dragon's Lair II!). So I'll probably be doing some touch up painting, maybe recapping, and certainly a lot of cleaning and re-soldering.

UPDATED 7/6/200: Here is what I did to install a new control panel overlay. It looks much better now!

UPDATED 12/13/1999: Finally, pictures of my Q*Bert. I do have some pictures of what my Q*Bert looked like before I restored it, and I hope to have pictures up sometime in the future.

UPDATED 12/12/1999: I had MKnox13415 over last night, and we were looking at my Q*Bert restoration. He pointed out that he'd never quite seen a marquee like mine...
