Dynamo HS-9A Project - Street Fighter.......[Update 11-3-12]
TGov:
Well, the measurements should be accurate, so it should fit. ;)
I wanted the track ball to blend in a best so the NeoGeo hardcore guys to get too bent out of shape ;D As for the monitor, is will be rotated Horizontally once I take the monitor out to paint the cab.
TGov:
Ok, there has been a change of plans with this cab. I was talking with a buddy of mine that owns a board game/card game/miniature wargame store and he has had a Gauntlet Dark Legacy machine sitting in there forever that is always off. Long story short, he said he was interested in getting some late classic games mainly early 90's stuff in there as he is a big fan and thought they would do well with the clientele that frequents the store. He was just apprehensive about buying a few machines and getting stuck with them if they don't make any money. He has tried to get a local amusement company to lease machines, but they weren't interested. So after we were talking a while I told him about the Dynamo cab I had and how it was originally a Street Fighter II Turbo cabinet when it was in an arcade. He said he would love to have a SF II cab in there as it is his favorite game. It just so happens I have a buddy that has a SF II PCB for sale on the cheap. I told him why don't I buy that SFII board and put the cab in the store and see how it does. There would be no risk to him and we could work out a deal on splitting what the machine makes. The machine would be supervised and next to the counter in the store so hopefully no shenanigans would go on ;)
I said I could make up some vinyl graphics at work since I have access to it and make the cab at least look pretty decent as it is in good shape already. So, I ordered up some Happ Competition joysticks and Happ buttons and some white t-molding for the top section.
Here is a mockup of what I am going to do with it. The CP will be made out of vinyl as well and have a piece of plexi covering it.
Anyways, I am looking forward to getting it in there and I hope it gets played, that is really what it is for. He is not looking to make a ton of money wants to make enough to recoup some of the costs of purchasing machines. Ideally he would like to have a couple of fighter cabs, a NeoGeo 4 slot and a 4 player TMNT or XMEN. I figure if the SFII gets played any, those will do even better.
Then if that happens I will either sell the cab to the store or I will bring it back home and go with my original Metal Slug idea.
TGov:
Well I finally got it all stickered and wired up and ready to roll :) Right now I have my PC in there running Hyperspin, but the SFII board just plugs right in along with the kick harness. Good stuff :)
I am enjoying having it in my office, but it going to my friends game store soon. I had to take the monitor chassis out and reflow the solder on a lot of the connections and that fixed my flickering problem. I still need to put the bolts back in the CP.
