(SOLD) Mame Cab special $150 (Cincinnati, OH)

[dmarcum99]

Project list got too long...both arcade and non-arcade related, so I'm willing to let this go to a good home.

For sale is a MAME cabinet that I picked up about a year ago.  I was originally using this for a client's build, but after showing the cab when I brought it home, he decided that the cab would be too big for his area.  So, I took the monitor, the P1 & P2 sticks/buttons and whollah...here we are.  Just to be clear, there is no computer or monitor, I'm selling just the bare cabinet with CP.

It's a super nice cabinet, a UAII clone, there's no keyboard tray or coin door cutout.  As the picture shows, it has a 4-player CP that includes a HAPP 3" trackball (red boards) w/opti-wiz interface, a turbo twist 2 spinner, i-pac4, and a 4-way joystick.  Players 3 & 4 are set up correctly (only 4 buttons) and there's a creative labs 4.1 speaker setup that's built into the cabinet.  The trackball has a clear blue trackball, but if not to your liking, I have the original white ball to kick in.

The artwork is pretty cool, but the edges are peeling....I don't want to give the impression I put the artwork on it so before anyone asks, I don't have the artwork files.  I tried to contact the original builder about 8 months ago, but he refused to send me the files.  It's around 6-7 years old and while it's there, most folks will want to put theire own creative stamp on it.  It has a monitor bezel and plexi for a 27" curved CRT.(not shown)

I think $150 is a fair price to ask...to get the CP internals used you'll spend around $125, so the cab/speakers are almost a throw-in.
I'm located just north of Cincinnati if anyone is interested.  Again, I'm asking $150...pretty firm on the price.  If there's no interest it won't kill me to keep it where it's at.(my garage)

I'm going to cross-pollenate my post at the KLOV forums to maximize exposure...maybe flea bay too.

Definitely not a bad looking cab.  The selected artwork on the sides is a bit perplexing.  (Link + Captain America + DK).  CP isn't too bad looking either.  Not a fan of the color scheme going on, (the yellow and green for 3 and 4 look good, though) but the rest can be rearranged/replaced.

$150 sounds more than fair for the amount of stuff you're giving out.  I wish you luck.  I'd use it myself, but I've already got one that doesn't work (need to replace the computer).

This has sold.  I had this posted on the KLOV forum and man...they were just ripping this cab apart.  I guess the NorthCoast cab guys don't go there very much...

Seriously, even mentioning the word MAME over there opens the floodgates of hate and fury... that reminds me, I need to put something about MAME in my signature at KLOV...

Malenko-

Are you interested in some Arkanoid parts? I have a spinner, pcb, harness and power supply I pulled from an Arkanoid hack job. PM me and let me know.

Sorry for bumping this thread but i cant pm. Do you have any other cabinets for sale or know of any near cincinnati?
thanks

I have 2 cabinets in my garage that I'd consider letting go. 

1) Centipede upright cabinet:  I got this from a motivated seller a while back.  The cabinet is in great shape, all the artwork intact...albeit the top left of the cabinet has a crack where it looks like it bumped up against a wall or another cabinet.  It was like that when I bought it.
Here's the thing....it has all the parts minus monitor and it plays blind.  How do I know it plays blind??  I hooked up a 26" monitor (on the floor) and the picture came on and it played perfect.  The reason I haven't let it go till now was the cabintet and all boards have matching serials.  30+ years and it still works! I replaced the Big Blue and did a cap kit on a wg4600 I had in another cabinet and tried to install it in the centipede but it rolled (horiz on a vert install) and I never resolved it.  ($200 obo and you get everything but monitor.)

The other cab is a Midway cab....a Bosconian cab to be exact.  I bought this from another gamer and it had World Series Baseball installed.  It has an extra board and extra control panel for the baseball game.  I pulled the monitor from it to use on the centipede.  The cab is servicable, but if you want it to be showroom quality, it will need some work.  ($75 and you get everything but monitor.)

I have a 26" or 27" monitor that I'll sell too.  Kortek...I can't remember the model # at the moment .  It was pulled from a working Deer Hunting game.  It will need a degaussing (rear right corner) and the yoke rings will need tightened.  When I got the game, the monitor was showing a blurry, double image that wouldn't allow the gun to work properly.  I sold the game and cabinet...all that is left is the monitor.  I adjusted the rings and used this monitor to test the Centipede cabinet.  I was able to dial in the picture, but like I said the rings are loose and the glue that held the rings in place has broken apart.  ($60 and it's yours)

That dang-blasted wg4600 gave me fiits....to the point where I cooled off on the restoring for a bit.  I'm still keeping the wg4600 for myself in hopes of getting it to run with a 60-in-1 I plan to build.

no shipping on anything....cash and carry.

If you need pics, let me know and I'll post some when I get home.

If you don't mind posting some pictures that would be great. I am heading up to Columbus Friday to check out a warehouse full of games. Plus i just bought a converted mercs cabinet but that was mostly for the ipac 4 and wg monitor, i dont think i like the mercs cabinet. The Centipede cabinet would be great if i knew if my new game room had enough for more then 2 cabinets.
