The Williams 1982 arcade classic — flap-your-wings, ostrich-riding mayhem. Picked up in May 2026, mostly working, with a few minor issues to sort out of the gate: the coin door and some incorrect or missing control panel wiring, both now handled. It is currently on the bench for a display issue (horizontal hold). Follow the repair log below for progress and write-ups.
