Sega Turbo Outrun "mini" cabinet
Fursphere:
I picked up one of these cabinets last night for $30. It supposedly works.. I haven't tried it yet. The control panel needs some help though. (I picked up an Area 51 one too for the same price - but its a scrapper - cabinet is trashed unfortunately)

When I bought it I was considering converting it to a 360 degree wheel MAME machine - but the control panel is a 270 degree wheel setup. Anyone ever converted one of these? I thought I saw a pick of one here.

I don't care for upright driving cabs, but somehow a 360 degree upright feels more right to me. :dunno
Fursphere:
thanks! you know this subforum all too well. :)
Fursphere:
My control panel is missing the steering wheel (I have another that might work? dunno yet) and the "shaft cover". The steering wheel shaft has a lot of surface rust too, so I'll need to be stripped and possibly sand blasted. No biggie really.
Fursphere:
So I tore into this more last night. The game powers up, but no video, and sound "somtimes" works - and its all messed up. So I'm guessing its got more than just a few problems. MAME it is! (anyone want the guts?)
The guy I bought the game from also gave me a control panel from a Tatio Grand Champion (http://www.gamesdbase.com/game/arcade/grand-champion.aspx). The steering wheel from that looks like it'll fit the shaft to the Turbo Outrun. Its got a little rust poking through the chrome though, so I may just end up buying a new one.
So the plan is to MAME this thing. The controls are as follows:
Wheel - its currently a pot setup for 270 degrees, but some of the parts are missing. Thinking 360 opto conversion.
Hi/Lo Shifter /w Thumb Button
Gas pedal (pot)
Brake pedal (pot)
Start button
Any idea on the best way to interface this all together? And has anyone tried playing pot based games with a 360 opto wheel? I'm wondering if thats even possible. :P
