Hello everyone! I am new here and joined because I picked up this Cosmic Guerilla cabinet today after everyone in my office got tired of looking at it. It hasn't worked since I started here about a year ago and I want to restore the cab. I'm on the fence about whether or not to restore the game itself, or swap in an RPI and some new controls. I've got an extra one laying around, so who knows. It's pretty beat up, apparently has a ROM on it that isn't CG, and someone swapped in a Moon Eagle Marquee. Anyways, I don't have much experience with woodworking, and I've only done light solder work before. Looking to learn a lot here. So far my progress is getting it into my wife's SUV and I learned that these things weigh way more than I thought. Also I checked the counter (I don't know how accurate they are) but apparently this thing has had 32,000 quarters inserted! So cool. Anyways, looking forward to this project and joining this community! |

Oh.... Man it's a Universal cabinet! That thing is like my grail! Always wanted to fix one up. I love the shape of those. Please don't put a pi in it... Please don't mess with the controls. You could probably put that thing on craigslist and trade it for a decent Golden Tee shell. Or sell it as is. This is an arcade gem in my opinion! |

Where do you live? Anywhere in Wi by chance? >:D |
| Mike A:
I second that thought. Don't wreck that cab. |

Restore that one - the Universal cabs are like works of art! |
