sure is. It's got a wee hole in the lower left side from when it had been used as a racing game. Apparently this happened a bit.

But yes I have a shelf full of junk that when combined the stuff that's arriving in a week or so will be the bare bones of a star wars cockpit!!!!!!!!!! :woot: :woot: :woot:

This thing is a real derelict however. it needs ALOT of work to get up to speed but there so much 'information' in the panels and framework that it will make for a very accurate rebuild.

I spent 3 or 4 hours pulling the cockpit apart in Melbourne this week. Bit of a gamble really, had no idea if it would pull apart with breaking up into unusable bits but so far so good

Have you had a look at the trader nzspacies on Trade me.
They might be a good source for build techniques on arcade game consoles.
You can only try and seeing as though they are based in Auckland you might be able to go around and get some pointers. :)

cheers badges yeah there's a couple of guys around the place who I'm sure will be a big help. I managed to track a working complete cockpit down and the guy has siad I can come over whenever I need to for measurements etc which will be invaluable

I'll have to mount it on a Segway or golf cart or something!

I'll have an 'open day' when it's done, come over and play till your eyeballs fall out :tusken2:
