>> Congrats with finding and getting that game. Good to see the sellers kept cab in >> working shape.
>The owners couldn't even remove the back door.
Maybe a bit of a blessing since it was enough to keep out someone that would have likely butchered that game and turned it into a Street Fighter clone cab. *kidding*
>The game needs capping on the monitor and power regulator. I cleaned the knob pots with >contact cleaner as a couple of the knobs were jittery. FWIW
Good luck with restoration work.

>It was my friend, not me. I just came along for the ride.
Correct. I noticed that part when taking a look at photo. The Meadows Dead Eye game is one of those that is still a mystery of if it uses an overlay piece or has some color tape set up like what was done with Exidy Circus and Midway Clowns. To me, the only memorable Meadows game I recall was Meadows Bombs Away.....and even then I had forgot that when a player pressed the button to drop bomb, there is no whistle sound being played when bomb is dropped onto the targets.
That was a sound effect that was left off of Meadows Bombs Away, but was added to many similar games that came along in following years (coinop or non-coinop games)
>> Interesting cab design (prototype of Electra Flying Fortress) variation compared to >> what I remember seeing in arcades. Good luck getting it repaired.
>Thanks! I gotta get to that one after I make some space.
I vaguely recall playing Electra's Flying Fortress a couple times, but don't recall if it was at a miniature golf course or in one of the arcades at a local mall.
