3/30/08: 720°
controller rebuild.
I rebuilt the rotary controller on my 720°
recently and I posted a detailed thread on
the KLOV forum that has procedural
information, what parts needed to be
replaced, and more. You can view it
here: 720 Rotary Controller Rebuild.
3/17/08: 720°
acquired.
I recently bought a 720°
from local and long time collector
Damon Claussen. Overall it's in great
shape but I'll be doing some cabinet re-vinyling
and will be replacing the control panel and
marquee overlays. I'll add pictures of
it to the photo gallery when I'm done.
Also I added a link to the
Collector's/Reference Links page for
Jeff Civitate's website that's devoted to
all things 720° (make sure that you watch his YouTube video):
Jeff's 720° Page.
Here's ticket info and more details from the
ACMI website:
