Needs a bit of work. I have a replacement board. I may send you the old board to look at if you want.

Looks like you've got the starting of a cool arcade room.

are you going to pimp it out with things like Pac Man neon lights etc?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I love 'Operation Wolf' (say in arcade attract screen voice!). Was so pleased the ZX Spectrum version was/is great.

Fingers crossed you don't need any parts for the Operation Wolf controller, could cause a few awkward questions at the Post Office and a knock at the door! :lol:

Both look good! I like the layer of authentic storage dust on Continental Circuit rather than someone trying to tart it up for sale. Not sure I've ever seen an Operation Wolf cabinet with some paint left on the gun, usually chipped useless and leaning badly to one side or the other! :)

If you look in the OW coin hopper I think I left around £9 there in a motorway service station circa 1990 :lol:
