- how hard is it to access those bolts ?
- Just remove the back door?
- I’m not near mine at the moment to look inside of it
Post #1283 — DuffCon, Jan 14, 2023
- Yeah, it’s pretty easy if you have the monitor out. Otherwise you can pull the marquee and go that way.
Post #1284 — easy_rider, Jan 25, 2023
- Can you loosen those speaker panel bolts w the monitor in? Where are they exactly ? Thanks In advance
Post #1285 — DuffCon, Jan 25, 2023
- Sorry, I don’t have a great picture. This is about as clear as I can make it. You can see the 4 points that have bolts behind them here.

- Few questions…
- Can anyone show me how the PCB is mounted in a Gen 1? (Both CPS 1, 1.5, 2) Has anyone added Q Sound (or equivalent audio for CPS 2) to a Gen 1 cabinet? How would I go about it? Do I need original Q-Sound hardware?

- I recently saw this pop up for sale. One of the allusive Big Blue pedestals?

- Definitely looks like it. As per @Kidkaos video earlier in the thread they do exist.
- I’d be curious about how they output their audio/video etc.

- @JakeJones07 very cool to see out in the wild ! Keep us posted

- Funny part.. if someone got a partially wrecked big blue and decided to hack it down to recreate one of these pedestals… 90% of people would be calling bullshit all day. lol.
Post #1294 — Kidkaos, Mar 14, 2023
- This is the real deal folks. There video evidence that proves to me it isn’t just a fever dream of mine. They used these with a 4 screen paneled crt wall (not sure the correct terminology) but you used to see the canvas like projection screens in the 90s at shopping malls etc.
Post #1295 — Kidkaos, Mar 14, 2023
- Ok. I finally found what I recall seeing back in the day. The correct term is a “rear projection video wall” just like on this stock picture. These were used in major tournaments with these pedestals.
- Very popular in the 1990s in shopping malls, etc.

- Big Blue pedestals were real!!
Post #1297 — JakeJones07, Mar 15, 2023
- I ended up picking up the pedestal. It was a late night pickup so I didn’t have a chance to do a full debug. Pictures are here.
- Observations:
- Lots of what appears to be a serial number matches on parts. Cabinet itself look’s factory. Game doesn’t power on (seems like a bad power supply) Power supply is just sitting in the bottom of the cabinet. I need to look more to see if I can find were it was originally mounted. There’s no power switch. And the power video wires are just going through a hole in the back of the game. The game board is connected to some kind of composite video converter. Once I’m able to get a new power supply, I’ll dig in more.

- Can’t wait! Now we need a name for it; I’m thinking “Chibi Blue”.

- Wow that is bizarre and huge
- Must take up a lot of room
- Would like to see it all set it up
