About 10mins outside of Stockton. My wife just flipped out when I told her Defender might be up for grabs too, so I now can't include that :( She likes it as a coffee table ugh |

These are a rare breed and should be handled with kid gloves or else the faulty wiring in her brain might correct and then you'll come home from work and find that she just thrown those horrid things away since you wanted to get rid of them anyway. You can totally wire your coin doors to your computer so when you drop a coin you get a credit in MAME. It's pretty easy to do once you start getting things you'll need like encoders and whatnot. I recommend surfing the Project Announce page for ideas, find a cab you like and build from scratch , it's really gratifying. My first cabinet was a conversion and that's nice to learn on but it's a better experience IMO create than repurpose. Either way, welcome and look forward to see what you come up with. |

There is a reason that he doesn't post anything that has to do with arcade stuff -- it is because he doesn't actually know anything related to arcade stuff. --- End quote --- I have had four cabinets since 2000. All of them were original, and were not Mamed. All of them I sold at a loss. Two of my own custom builds (submini) sold at a profit. Granted I might know little about electronics, but I do know that originality means squat to someone who just wants to play 60+ games. Sell the boards and art by all means and convert the cabinet to whatever you want it to be, and leave the purists to their loss making pursuits. |
