I just bought my first arcade machine!
honkey:
Last night I bought my first arcade machine. It is a Tekken Tag Tournament. I feel like I got a great deal. I expected to find a beat up cabinet with a half working monitor because the seller was only asking $120 for it. When I got there I found that the cabinet and artwork were in near perfect condition. The monitor works wonderfully with a very vivid picture. He also had the keys to the doors and an owner's manual to go with it. Here are some pictures of it laying on its side in my mom's van.

Yeah it does! I am just about to haul this thing up a flight of stairs to get into my apartment!
I am going to take out the game board and put in a PC for MAME, but I am not sure if I am going to use the monitor or not yet... The Arcade VGA video card is pretty expensive, I already have a TV, and I could make money on this monitor easily. Then again, it looks awesome. Tough decision here.

I just found out a bit more about my cabinet... It was originally a Mortal Kombat 3.
The controls don't work, but I have some close friends that are electricians and they seemed confident that they would be able to diagnose and fix the problem.
