Hello,
OK long story short... I started a cab a few ago, got as far as making it playable and then it got put on the back burner and never to be finished. I moved to Fairfax, VA a year ago and left the cab in a buddies basement in Charlottesville, VA as I have nowhere to put it in my current home. I've come to the realization that I'm not going to have the opportunity to finish it and put it my house anytime in the foreseeable future, and my friend wants it out of his basement. I will do my best to describe everything included accurately but feel free to ask questions. I had my friend email me a few pictures. I would have fixed things up a little more attractive if I was there, but you should get the idea.
The cab is made from 3/4 mdf. All outer edges have been slotted with a router for t-moulding (not included, never got around to buying it). You can't see it in the photos but there is a frame made of 2x4's that the monitor bolts into. The control panel slides into grooves routed into the sides of the cab and is held in with screws. There is a speaker panel with 2 car speakers flush mounted that is not pictured, they slide in the same way. 2 additional mdf panels also slide in under the control panel. The control panel is a basic street fighter layout with a trackball in the middle. The panel is routed out so the trackball plate sits flush. Basically most of the woodwork is done it just needs some paint, a marquee (didn't start on that at all), and some artwork and T-moulding. A nice clean wiring job wouldn't hurt either. I figure this would be a good clean slate for someone who doesn't have woodworking tools to start with. Or you could dump the cab and just use the parts on a new one.
Parts I am including with the cab:
- 27" Wells Gardner D9200, has probably about 50 hours on it
- Ultimarc ArcadeVGA, AGP version
- 2 Ultimarc ultrastick 360's, red ball top
- Ultimarc trackball, red, might need replacement bearings. They've run a little rough since I got it new from ultimarc and I never bothered to fix them
- Ultimarc Optipac
- Happ over/under coin door. Bought this one used on ebay, no locks. Has coin mechs installed to take tokens, can also include 2 brand new Happ 25c mechs
- 12 Happ competition pushbuttons, red
- Player 1 and 2 start buttons
- Bezel, cut down to fit the cabinet
- About 100 or so random tokens from various arcades
- 2 car stereo speakers mounted on mdf with pc speaker hack for amp + subwoofer
- If you need it I can also throw in a pc to get you started, I think it's a Celeron 2ghz with either 500mb or a gig of ram (don't quote me on that, I'd have to check the specs).
Asking $700 obo. I'd really like to sell everything in one package and I'm not interested in parting it out as I will have to drive from Fairfax to Charlottesville to meet and multiple visits would inconvience my friend.
