Taken before the new side art went on, a friend vectored it based on photos and scans assembled from here and there. I need to re-do the t-mould again, over time the chrome started to crack and fall away, cheap or very old stock I guess. The corners held up well though, the front lower cab corners were completely broken off when I got it. Bezel is original with no fading, needs to be re-scanned so repros can be made, I had a company do it but when I checked the scans there's some horrible geometric distortion making it useless. I'm not convinced they used a scanner at all. Screen is from the stock of NOS ones purchased in bulk from Wells Gardner when they shut down. I got three of them, one is in Afterburner, another is still boxed in the garage - been in there so long I'm almost scared to look now...

Nice machine. Mine is restored, but my bezel is faded, I'd love to get a repro with the colors nice and bright.

Did you ever see anything of a UK dedicated? I've got the marquee but that's about all.
It must of had a custom panel "goliath panel" with it...

Not surprised you seeked out the USA model, it's known you can't stand the electrocoin redrawn artwork ;)

Ok, have some ugly proto pcbs ready to ship out to testers/friends helping with this project.
This is not the final version, the mcu will change most likely and the board layout/connectors as well due to the supply chain shortages.
I really like the JST NH connectors, but they are getting hard to source in the desired configurations.

So this will make it easier to set up your controls, giving you joystick, buttons, spinner, and finally rotary stick as well, like the Seimitsu LS-30 aka SNK Rotary joystick, cause why the hell not.

I have a friend looking for 1 or 2 of these, if anyone has any for sale/trade let me know.

If they're duplicates, I made a layout that fits egret 2 without modification. Been running a pair in mine for about a decade.
 
Powder coated spinner (ignore the dust) for Ghox, FW. Both are properly measured for Egret- tight fit though but 100% functional ! No modifications to panel box.

Very cool with that dark theme. I was playing around with the idea of anodizing some of the knobs in a few colors.
