Allied Leisure Wild Cycle New In Box Inside photos part II

Allied Leisure Wild Cycle NIB

Here I continue documenting the insides of Allied Leisure Wild cycle arcade game as it came out of the box. Here I do the back of the game. Notably the 8-Track player, score unit, motorcycle unit and projector.

At the very top of the cabinet is the 8-Track player. Notice the door flap looks crooked. That's because one of the hinges for the flap was broken. Right out of the box!


The 8-Track has its own power sub assembly board.


Score unit is of a projector type that looks alot like score units found in pingames from the mid 30's to early 40's.


Score unit projects onto a mate window on the "Backglass"


Motorcycle manakin is at the back of the cabinet. The motorcycle is moved left to right by a servo-motor with a pulley fitted with a O-ring on a aluminum channel. There's a small solenoid that tilts the motorcycle onto its side when there's a crash.


Aluminum channel for motorcycle travel


Photoresistors that detect if the motorcycle is on the track. The motorcycle is above a mate projector screen. The photoresistors run parallel to the motorcycle under the screen and point onto a mirror that directs the projected track onto the screen.


The projector unit at the bottom of the cabinet. It projects onto a series of mirrors (not shown) and ultimately onto a projector screen.


There's 3 tracks printed onto the discs. The track select unit slides the disc left to right to align one of the tracks with the projector bulb and lens.



Disc with the tracks printed on. To the left there's a series of cam switches that warn the player of upcoming road hazards. Notice the dust on the disc. Even it the machine was closed up and inside a box, dust still managed to get inside after 50 years.


A servo-motor spins the disk at a speed proportional to the handlebar throttle.


Next post I will document the relay panel
