It's not on crapmame but it eches much of the stuff on there. It is a pile of shite but to be fair this is not uncommon of other older cabinets that were built before new products were widely available for MAME cabinet builds. I remember starting out there was much less in the way of info or parts available. Still a stinker though, given that it's got nothing unusual or unique on there. Could have at least gone for a more uniform layout and a decent control panel finish. |

I'm confused by the trackball. Is it really recessed by ~1/2"? That seems like a real good way to peel the skin off a finger at best, or simply break it. |

Well lets see here, by the looks of those pictures the salvageable pieces are: - 19 play buttons - 3 start buttons - 2 joysticks (8-ways - looks like Happs Comps?) - A trackball - Coin doors with possibly included mechs - In the bottom-left picture there looks to be some sort of interface board that all the wires from the switches are running to. It doesn't look like a keyboard hack, since you can barely make out the terminal blocks on it. - a 19" monitor bezel - misc potentially working PC parts For the play controls alone it would probably run you about $80-$100. I can't tell the shape of the cabinet, but it might be a standard dynamo. If I were interested in getting this, I'd probably talk him down to $150. |
