I just picked up a project Mappy from Pete in Mass. I spotted it in an ad he put in the RGVAC newsgroup. There is a lot of great information on Mappy over at Mappyland, where I got the animated gifs above.

After I saw and played Mappy at Funspot in NH a few months back, I kept my eye out for one. I love the art on the cabinet, and the game is a lot of fun. I’ll give you some pics below and describe the condition it’s in so you can see what I’m up against with this one.

The sideart on one side (the right) is very good. The left side is decent, but has a section about 3″x3″ that is torn off. It’s in a spot that is mostly black, so I may be able to paint it to make it less noticable.

The control panel is pretty beat up:

The stickers on the front are in good shape

The bezel is just about perfect.

There is a gaping hole where the monitor once lived:

Pete gave me a broken one that I can hopefully fix and use for it. The game board works, so once I fix the cabinet and the monitor I should be able to get it going, after I do some bonding with my friend Elmer.

The left side of the cabinet is coming off…

I’ll have to clamp and glue it, and may need to cut some wood away and replace it. I won’t really know until I look it over better. There is also a piece of wood that goes above the control panel that’s broken off that will require some more glue. BTW…what’s with the cow on the Elmer’s glue label!? I hope they don’t melt down cows at the glue factory, as I couldn’t live with myself knowing Mappy was held together by the liquified remains of our departed bovine buddies.
