| Rad Mobile Cab for my MAME machine |

I got this for $25 today on Craigslist. It doesn't have a monitor, but that doesn't really matter since it's gonna get MAMEed. I figure I'll just remove the driving CP and build one with joysticks and buttons to put in it's place. The same guy also sold me two NOS Happ Ultimate Joysticks for $15 and six NOS Happ buttons for $9. If you're in Houston he's got a bunch more in blue, yellow, red, and black plus a ton of cabinets for sale in varying states of completeness. |

Nice find $25 good deal! Why not make it DRIVING MAME cab!! Since you got the pedals built in!! Is it a 360 wheel or 270 i never played that game before!!!. I didnt think you can fit an arcade cab in a jeep. Was the seat already out or did you pull it out for the pick up!! Used to have a jeep Wrangler Miss that thing lots a fun!! |

There's a lot more joystick games that I wanna play than driving games. I'm not gonna permanently alter anything so I can always do that in the future. The wheel is a 270º Happ model. The back seat was removed. There's no way it woulda worked with it in. |

I toss my vote in for building it as a driver too. Chances are very high you will be able to snag a decent joystick style cabinet before you even finish the driving cab. I have literally been picking up 2 a week on craigslist for some time now. That one doesn't look like it will cleanly alter to a joystick panel the way a Pole Position will. |

I usually say do whatever you want, but a $25 driving cab that is most of the way there, you might have a real prize on your hands! |
