This is another machine I got from Gaymond Lee. I didn't even know there was a sequel
to Joust until I saw Gaymond advertise it in 1996. I made arrangements and drove
from Northern California to San Diego to pick it up. The condition of the cabinet
was very good. The game works and plays great, but there is a kind of loud hum that
comes from the speakers. One of these days I'll get around to figuring out why. Cosmetically,
the only flaw was a 1.5" x 1" gouge missing from the front of the CPO.
Around 1998 I found someone who had a NOS Joust 2 control panel overlay. Whoa. You
don't see those everyday. I agreed to trade a spare Joust 2 PCB for it. I really
hate removing old CPOs and mine was not really in bad condition. It'd be a shame
to pull it off when there's other people with CPOs in much worse need of attention.
I did a little searching and found someone with a trashed CPO. I suggested a trade
where I give them my whole control panel for their machine and in turn, they apply
my new CPO to their bad panel and give that to me. I think it worked out well. Now
this machine is really beautiful.
