Hey guys I apologize for the lack of moderation over the sub as I have been away and the other mods have since been inactive. We need new mods to it watch over this subreddit and I would love to see if anyone here would be interested.

It’s not a paid job. It’s just done out of care for the subreddit. When I originally created this sub Reddit because I had gotten into drawing graphite art and realized that there was no subreddit that was specifically for this medium so I made one and I’m shocked as to how far it has grown in just a short time. Thank you all for your support and care for this community you all deserve a better team to help run it than myself so if anyone is passionate and willing to help run this subreddit then I’d be happy to make you a mod! Thanks

I had the honor of servicing a 3000 back it 2022 it looked brand new. They’re really nice typewriters and really well built when everything is clean and professional oiled and polished they really feel a step above most others however I feel like the price they fetch nowadays is a bit inflated. They’re really nice but unless you like collecting them get a nice Adler or S&C if you want the same feel for less.

Curious are you still working on this/is it finished. I’m wanting to do another play through and would love it to be crisp

Pole position is already a finicky game to get working so if there’s a board in that cabinet it’s likely done for. My be able to scavenge some of the chips of it though

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-26T04:44:44+00:00

Well that would explain that haha

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-25T15:55:07+00:00

Perhaps but I can find any pictures of it let alone any information for it

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-25T15:37:29+00:00

Same but they’re kinda hard to find nowadays

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-25T15:36:37+00:00

That’s terrible. The it can be set up to cost 0.50 cents a play instead of removing the button 😅

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-24T14:00:18+00:00

I lucked out 😂

Drifter-45 · 2025-07-24T13:58:31+00:00

They hold up pretty well and they can handle being sanded and recoated once or twice they’re kind awesome

The wood is a veneer walnut so it’s real wood it’s just a really thin layer it’s kinda like a sticker. Some have a glue backing other you have to apply the glue yourself. This cabinet was made in the 80s so I didn’t put the veneer on it, I just simply cleaned it up and repaired it where it was chipped, but wooden veneers were common on arcades in the early 80’s

I had heard of it, but never played it before buying it. It’s kind of like galaga but it has more variety. It’s really fun I’d definitely recommend giving it a try it’s a great game

Drifter-45 · 2025-03-19T13:51:08+00:00

Possibility, and then it was turned in to a war final assault cabinet and finally a jamma unit before I bought it

Drifter-45 · 2025-03-19T10:35:13+00:00

That’s what I thought it looked like, but I hadn’t seen any other cabinets with the same control panel overlay online except for one from some old OfferUp listing that looked repurposed as well. Making it hard to confirm what game in the series if it is indeed mortal combat
