Introduction
I bought this Konami Sauroid off a nice fella on the other side of Florida from me. He purchased it at an auction 20+ years ago. It was pulled from Disney World Orlando. This is a showcase cabinet that I don't think saw wide distribution and I cannot find a whole lot about it.
From what I have gathered it was introduced in North America as a Lethal Enforcers II cabinet with two guns. In Japan it saw limited release as a 2~4 player cabinet and a Bishi Bashi game with corresponding panel.
Here is a flyer:
Would love to get that bench seat
Now onto my cabinet.
The cabinet was sold to me with the screen "not working". As of this point I haven't turned it on because I plan to pull the boards and do the usual recap and look for any singed components. Continuity tests and checking all the easy stuff first like fuses.
Pedestal:
Looks in good shape. The control panel is sunburned as expected. Hoping everyone's favorite boy @alberto1225 can make me some custom panels During some googling I found out a user who I think is @codecrank made a 3 player bishi bashi reproduction panel. If you ever find this, hook a ninja up!
Guns are in good condition overall. Just need a cleaning really.
The pedestral is made of wood with laminate on top. The dirt will come off easily with krud kutter. If need be I can always Bondo the edges to get rid of the chewed up look.
Funny enough there are 4 coin returns but you only see 1 coin slot.
There was no lock or coin bucket down below. I didn't look too hard but I didn't see a coin counter either.
The back side you can see an access panel to the pedestal. Don't mind the konami cabinet, that's just a plexi glass that cracked.
Note in the flyer picture above there is a green topper marquee that should go here. I do not have that piece. Eventually I'll custom make something as there is a space for it here.
Underneath the pedestal it flips up to reveal spaces for 4 coin mechs! I really want to get a 4 player panel made for this cabinet! What's funny is that in building my game room (coming soon) I was missing a gun game and a 4 player cabinet from my arsenal. This cabinet, while huge, fulfills both roles! I will happily accept this in the place of 2 separate cabinets.
If anyone knows off hand what this coin mech is and where I can get similar that would be neat. While not mandatory for a free play arcade, if cheap enough I might spring for them. I think some games DO require the use of 4 coin mechs tho right? Like turtles?
Sorry for blurry pic but the barcode says "Lethal Enforc". The screen burn tells me this was how it lived it's life as well!
Behind the pedestal we open the panel via 4 screws to reveal the wiring to the panel and a funny looking coin chute.
