I am absolutely chuffed to get this beauty to restore to its former glory, cost me more than I’d like but having been looking for this machine for years I’m happy to have it and won’t be leaving me for ever lol I’ll post progress when I get round to the restoration 😁 it even has the 10p glass set too! And it works! Cab is good/salvageable just a new plinth I think and some touching up. Inside is in remarkable condition really. All the buttons are jammed and usual age stuff present. Was originally Supertubes I know most prefer MPU3 original but for me this was always the one that I grew up with 😁😁😁😁

Yeah I’ve seen it and admired that project big time! This one’s a dream in comparison but I hope to get it as clean as the work Dave did and I’ll be a very happy gamer 👍 Cheers Mike

Nice one Martin, I used to have one, Dave Tilley on here had it off off me, now that one was rough, Dave did a great job sorting that one out! There’s a thread on here somewhere. Great find and enjoy!

Taunton? Lol

Callington or somewhere miles away?😀

Thanks, Ron. That's definitely the original machine. The remains of the right-hand counter are still present, behind the new top-glass. I'm well on with it. It has a fault I've met before: The control timer has push-in microswitches, and they don't clip firmly into place. It's because the plastic frame of the timer cracks with age. I've reinforced it with Araldite. Should be set tomorrow.

Crack Shot was the original build from a company called Thesis, A manufacturing company based in the Rhondda Valley in late 60s into the 70s when bought out by Associated Leisure Games who being the parent company closed Thesis in 1974.

Looking good 👍. Maybe when it’s all done you could post some hi res pictures for emulation purposes.
