So, I've finally finished writing up my SF1 Pneumatic Cabinet restore. Here's the link if you're interested:
STREET FIGHTER ONE - Resurrecting the SF1 Deluxe Pneumatic Arcade Cabinet
In the end, the problem was not all that complex, but I thought it was interesting. This is
not a quick read. And this is
not really a tutorial (although it has enough information to be one). But more of a reflection on the history and development of Street Fighter, and also on my personal experience with the franchise.
A big part of preservation is sharing information. My hope is that the information I shared can be a resource to help appreciate SF1 a bit more, and maybe resurrect a few more of these pneumatic beasts.
Thank you all, and let me know what you think! Now, let's see those resurrected cabs!
