MillerCade! Now 100% complete WOOHOO
yotsuya:
I bought the coin door that doesn't have mechs or mech holders for my potential build, then got a smoking deal on mechs, then found a great seller who got me the holders, built a fully functional Happ Coin Door... Then picked up a cab with a full functional Over/Under Door. So now I have an extra door with nothing to put it on. I guess I'll save it for a future build!

Randomly!
I was walking by some guy screaming into a cell phone next to an open garage door - inside the garage door was 6 or 7 machines. I asked what he was doing with them and apparently the sale of them had just fell through, and he was moving THAT DAY! Imagine my luck! I actually took 2 of them [both marvel vs capcom], that's all I could fit in my truck. I put one at my workplace in the lunchroom and the other I kept for myself. The one at work was in great shape, I restored the other one and it ended up having the screen smashed :angry: my effin sister in law invited some people to a party i was having, and I caught one guy doing a line of coke off of my freezer. So I tossed him around some. On his way out he picked up a mic stand and put the weighted end through the screen. Then he ran. I was obviously less than impressed. Discouraged by the price of a new screen and thinking it a waste of space if I put an LCD in it, I tried parting it out but one guy took the whole thing for $50. I suppose it was better the arcade machine than other stuff in the room - my guitars, my drums, my recording studio equipment.
I made a plan to one day make a wicked MAME machine, and though I haven't done anything but plan it and drool at everything on this site, I still fully intend to do it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm working on the marquee art now. I want it to be ken and ryu both shooting 'hadouken' at each other with a big white explosion in the middle with the logo. But I am having trouble finding an explosion graphic that will work :angry:
@eds: That's crazy! Tell your sister to make him pay for it.
Anyway, I know the Happ coindoors are expensive, but I wanted a new one, as everything else is new.
And I found one here: http://www.arcadeemulator.net/cgi-bin/shop/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F8037754&rnd=9551225&rrc=N&affl=&cip=12.150.27.130&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=Multi-Player+Over/Under+Door&cat=Coin+Doors&catstr=HOME:Coin+Doors
for $115

Getting money out of that ---smurfette--- is like squeezing water from a rock. But let's not go there today.
