18 April 2004: Suprise, Here's your free Burgertime, needs a little work (wink, wink). As you may have figured out, I wasn't expecting this, but oh well, you gotta take what you can get. My only regret is I didn't take any pictures of me picking it up or moving it in, but I was a little busy trying to get the whole thing done by myself. A special Thanks goes out to my dad, who kindly allowed me to borrow his truck for the weekend, and I kindly returned it to him with a blown alternator. Well, I don't feel too bad about it cause it wasn't my fault, and I had to hoof it two and a half miles just to find a phone, when the freakin thing died on the highway. Grrrr. something tells me that he isn't going to let me borrow the truck anymore, even though it wasn't my fault. Ah well, alls well that ends well, the trucks getting fixed, the BT is in my basement. :) So here's the situation: Good condition original dedicated Burgertime, some flaking of the paint, a few dings, but cabinet in overall good condition, and all bad spots are repairable. Complete boardset, powersupply, coin door. Now for the fun part. Someone decided to throw a cinder block through the monitor! Why they did this, I don't know. They not only broke the monitor, but the bezel, and glass overlay as well. And for good measure they broke the marquee. The monitor chassis (WG 4906) seems to be complete and intact, of course who knows what kind of trauma it has withstood. And the power cord of course has been cut. So here's a short "To Do" list:

1. Remove remnants of old RCA tube from cabinet($0).
2. Remove all broken glass from cabinet($0)
3. Find and install new RCA tube($?) (19VLTP22) and Cap Kit($5- Bob Roberts) for Chassis.
4. Reconnect all wiring to chassis($0)
5. Install new power cord ($2-$5)
6. Install new glass monitor overlay, and bezel($? if I can even find one?)
7. Install new Marquee($20?) and light($5)
8. Test and fix anything that doesn't work.
9. Cabinet repair, replace T-Molding, misc.

Here's some initial pictures, I will be keeping a photojournal as I progress on this.
