Congrats! I know the excitement of getting one of these. It was my first game and is still my most cherished. If I ever have to give some cabs up, this will be the last to go. I'm currently in the process of restoring the panel on mine. I'm kinda regretting it actually as the original cpo was in pretty good shape. I guess when the rest of the cab is mint, the cpo looks that much worse. Oh well, enjoy your game. I'll do the same soon enough.
Nice job on the restoration. I just tracked down one of these for a friend. The condition wasn't nearly as bad as what you started with here - which is good because I know zero about restoring cabinets and my knowledge of the inner workings is pretty much limited to adjusting dip switches. I noticed yours has more sound effects than mine - crowd noise, music when you lose, etc. Do you know if this is a setting, or is this something they added with a later revision?
@KaneRobot There are two sets of sounds. Each monitor handles the sounds of one of the two sets individually. If one of the monitors sound output is not working or if there is a board issue it is possible to have only half the sounds. So, it is possible that one of monitor's volume controls are turned all the way down or there is a problem with one of the monitor's sound amp or it is a board issue.
This arcade game was released in 1984, between the 1983 North American VG Crash and the year Nintendo of America released the NES. The NES version is the most recognizable, due to home-gaming being more convenient than arcade-gaming. A similar thing happened to Tecmo's Star Force, Namco's The Tower of Druaga and Irem's Kung-Fu Master arcades.
Congrats on getting that cabinet. I can just imagine how hard it is to find an original Punch Out. It looks like the restoration came out great. Thanks for sharing the view.
