[Restoration] Megatouch Maxx Upright

[DrAlves]

Introduction:

This project was carried out in Portugal from September 2020 until today.
Since I was a child, it was a dream to have this arcade machine, and I got it!
This was my first restoration of an arcade machine.
Currently, there is little I need to restore but in general, everything is already done.

This restoration consisted of:

• Restoration of wood
• Screen Restoration (Cap Kit + Flyback)
• Coin Bucket Restoration
• Door Restoration
• Key Restoration
• Restoration of Locks
• Cable Restoration
• Fan Restoration
• Plastics Restoration

Three things remain to be restored:

• Back wood, with remnants of other wood to cover gaps
• Cleaning the touch screen
• Insert front basel lock ✓

Hope you like it!

Thanks a lot!
Well... The megatouch was the arcade machine of my dreams since I was a kid!
Basically it's an arcade from Merit inc., an American company that made these arcades with a computer inside. Basically they became very well known for having erotic games!

Very nice! When I was a kid I saw a lot of the megatouch bartop machines at bars, resturants, and even my local skatepark. I remember the one at the skatepark had a strip poker type game on it.
