seeing<\/span>&nbsp;Toobin<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2019 many years ago down Great Yarmouth seafront, but I don\u2019t recall ever playing it until PLAY Expo Blackpool 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;The cab stood out from the crowd, with unique controls,&nbsp;<\/span>colourful<span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;graphics, cool artwork and an awesome cascading waterfall marquee.&nbsp;&nbsp;The idea of the game was so cool and original: paddle down the river and avoid the hazards, which include branches, hungry alligators, submarines, dinosaurs whipping their tails, and punks throwing cans at you!&nbsp;&nbsp;The game was loads of fun, and I loved the cab design.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">My next encounter with Toobin\u2019 was during an Op visit.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had some idea of what cabs he had, but this one was a complete surprise.&nbsp;&nbsp;I couldn\u2019t help but show my excitement when I saw it, breaking one of the Raid rules.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact I just wanted to hug it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">The cab had been stored in a polytunnel for a few decades, presumably after it broke and was removed from his arcade.&nbsp;&nbsp;It would have suffered from years of temperature cycles and clearly needed a lot of love.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was pretty filthy, covered in grime and bird poo, but looked structurally sound.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Op spoke fondly of the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;He had a lot of nostalgia for his games, some of which he seemed very attached to and didn\u2019t want to part with.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fortunately for me he let this one go.&nbsp;&nbsp;A price was agreed, and we set about moving it to the van.&nbsp;&nbsp;The cab was surrounded by plastic balls from a children\u2019s play area ball pit, which added to the fun of moving it.&nbsp;&nbsp;At one point I was scooping up the balls and putting them in a black bag, only to find the bag was ripped with the balls coming straight out!&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">Once I got the cab back I finally had that hug!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"font-family: arial\">The aim of this restore was to clean the cab up as best I could and get it back in good working condition.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019m not adverse to a few battle scars, and I wanted to retain originality as far as possible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">Here is a list of the work I\u2019ve done on the cab.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">Marquee<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">The waterfall marquee is so cool!&nbsp;&nbsp;The waterfall effect is achieved by three rollers, driven via gears by a single motor.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019ve read that these motors are commonly used in juke boxes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2mo6Z9f\" rel=\"nofollow\"

style=\"font-family: arial\">The fluorescent T15 tube retainers were brittle and had disintegrated, probably due to the heat from the tube.&nbsp;&nbsp;I managed to find some very similar ones in

replaced the tubes and starters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial\">I was really surprised to find the motor still works after all these years, which is a great result!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:

I\u2019d bought off the Op, the monitor tube had been damaged beyond repair.&nbsp;&nbsp;Inside Toobin\u2019 there should be a 19\u201d medium res monitor, which would prove very difficult to replace.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was relieved when I removed the back door and everything looked as it should be.&nbsp;&nbsp;My monitor is a Wells Gardner 19K7635, utilizing a factory modified KV7000 chassis.&nbsp;&nbsp;I sent the chassis off to Grant \/ Gunblade for servicing, and he was able to work his magic and bring it back to life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

all.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just before I placed an order, the powder coaters called to say they had found the items!&nbsp;&nbsp;They had been placed with another order and had been painted gold.&nbsp;&nbsp;They re-done them in matt black with a textured finish, similar to the original and look great.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to have them stock, but I do think they would have looked pretty cool on the cab in
