To repair or recreate, that is the question of the Galaxy.

Hey MTPPC,
i have been in exactly the same boat as you. Lesson to be learned from this, ifyou are going to gut a cabinet, do not tell anyone. Jsut do it and say you got it that way. I started down the AWESOME!! Road of Vpin by buying a Flash. It was CHEAP!!! And in great shape, btu had a HOST of problems. I started by posting I planned to gut it, did anyone want to buy parts... I got reamed. So I spent 3 months trying to fix it.. and I have considerable knowledge of Pins and electronics.
I couldn't fix it, so I sold it for what I had in it and proceeded to spend $5k building the biggest badest Vpin I could, in a Custome Mameman Pin2K Cabinet :)
Take what is being said in this thread with broad shoulders and learn from it. Chances ar eyou will build another Vpin before it is over. Next time, if you gut a cabinet.. don't tell anyone, just do it. Part it out and make a few bucks on it. No one seems to care when folks part out pins on RPG... Why? Cause they never show them how good the pin looked before they gutted it.
As for the rest of you, give the guy a break. This is a friggin MAME forum :)

I was thinking the same thing, Eric.
MTPPC:
I got the final speakers installed and moved the machine from my workshop to the den. For now the Virtual Galaxy is complete:
I'm using it every day.

Does the "playfield" monitor slope down front to back, or is it just me?
