I know someone who would buy that from you sight unseen if you lived in this state.

This state?

You mean you don't you?

No, someone else. He loved that game growing up and specifically has asked me if I've seen one since I started collecting. If it were me, I would have said me.

BTW, it's not that bad of a game. I've played it before BITD.

I used to love Quartet when I was younger.  My buddies and I would swap over to it when we got sick of Gauntlet.
PL1:
Not to rain on the parade here, but it sounds like OP wants to MAME the cab for use at his place of business.

Unfortunately that violates the MAME license and, almost certainly, the local coin-op laws/licensing.
(many threads on these subjects, search is your friend)

A multi-JAMMA switcher with original PCBs (NOT an X-in-1) should keep the hardware part legal AFAIK.   :dunno

Wow, that cab looks so cool! I am gonna have to check out quartet.

My recommendation is you make a non-invasive mame conversion of it. That way, you can still enjoy the cab, you never know when you will want it back as a pure quartet again. I did this to my first cab, and I am very very grateful I did. I found love for the game and was able to unconvert it from a mame cab and it is the favorite item in my collection.

First thing is do not use the original control panel, make a new one and swap it in. You can keep the old panel still up and running.

If the monitor works, keep using it. Just interface your computer with it. Ultimarc ArcadeVGA or other arcade video card is your friend. No reason to downgrade to a TV.

You can make an awesome machine out of that.  :cheers:
