Sega Route 66 Restoration

[Mrhide]

Going over the route 66 I picked up recently, I figured a stopper was missing on the driving shaft, thanks to this ebay listing.
Good thing my favorite game moving helper is a machinist in real life! Not only did he remove the screws that were broken on the shaft (from the previous stopper), but he fabricated a new one, again thanks to the pictures on the listing.

Now if I could figure out where to get these compression springs from the steering rack for cheap, I would be golden.

Well she's 99% done!

The 1% is to cut and connect the radio shack CB:

nice work! it's not often games like this get this kind of attention.

do you have the proper mic/adapter for the CB?
