S.A.M.I Has Arrived

[Eddie]

Here is a vid of my always wanted SAMI.

The machine is in fantastic shape and is awesome to play.

I guess I should have taken more before and after shots or some vid of the parts apart being cleaned?

YouTube - S.A.M.I by Midway "Worlds Greatest Arcade Machine".

Just like Arepachis there are no parts for this machine available but you can get schematics.

Im trying to find someone to reproduce the main 18" 35mm film loop in case this one breaks.

Oh yeah 2 plays for a Quarter!

Wow Eddie... SUPER! I don't know how you were able to wait for it to get to room temp before digging in... a testament to how thoughtful you are with every treasure you acquire!

I was mainly concerned about the film strip becoming brittle in the cold weather. The strip is the key to the game. Of course the other parts could have been damaged by being powered up when they were cold.

Its always good to get a machine up to room temp before powering up.

The same goes for Driving a car in the winter. Always let the engine oil warm up after starting before pulling away!

Wow!!

I know I always say this, but you really really do have the coolest toys, and deservedly so, you have the patience and skills to restore them correctly

This is a game I have never seen running before, but I love the overall look of the machine, anything with a projection screen interests me too, and a deff 70's vibe

Excellent video too, as always
