Hello people, I am looking for a few parts to make my Astro City complete. Maybe someone can help me with this.

Im looking for news Speakercovers, also a new Monitor bezel /the black thing around the Monitor) because pieces are broken off mine and some screws.

Thanks

Oh... one more thing
I am from Germany, so the journey of the parts would go over the sea hope that is not a problem.

I don't have Astro City but i can tell you this:

Japan uses Metric system which means you can find the screws or nuts in Germany easily. You will have to find out the size of those screws only.

I think they uses M4 size generally in their cabinets. You can buy some of them and can test it.

For the other parts, i recommend to find a car paint or repair center and make them repair.
I know you German people are very good about repair and painting job 🤣

:D Thank u mate, thats my plan if i dont find any replacements also the bezel is broken i definitely need a new one. The rest can be painted. Well maybe someone knows what screws i need. Greetings to Turkey ;)
 
I just went on an adventure to make all the screws in both my Astro City's the same as stated in the Sega manual.

  • The (3) Front Panel screws inside the control panel are: M5 x 16mm with washers.
  • The Fluorescent Lamp Lid has (5) M4 x 10mm Tapping screws and (2) M4 x 16mm Truss screws.
For the monitor surround I'd check with @YATON.

For the speaker grills, I haven't seen any for sale. You might have to make your own replacements with something like this: Mouser

I do not quite understand this but I think you mean that a cover is missing?

That may look so on the picture but is not really so, here are some close ups.

ya thats what i will do! All i need is a new bezel then everything will be good.
 
I probably should have made a restoration thread but anyway.... I have now repainted the panel glass and replaced the buttons (Mortal Kombat look like). The bezel is still at the painter and the power supply is recapped. Since I get the parts partly only in the USA this lasts certainly still 14 days.

I will keep you up to date. What I still want to do, paint the doors and repair scratches. Also replace all the plastics at the top.
