It's just a Nintendo cab... Mame that ---smurfette---! |

To fix it up you are essentially going to have to buy everything but the monitor and coin door, so you might want to have some fun with it instead of a full restore. I'm normally not a fan of custom cabs for console games, especially lengthy ones, but these did turn out really nice: https://www.retroist.com/2018/08/21/custom-built-ducktales-arcade-cabinet/ |

Yea I’m a big fan of those. I need look around and see what’s what. My thinking as of now is to paint spend the time and money to do a good job paint it blue and getting qulity side art. I can do qulity non original button and joysticks from Grovey Game Gear and get it in the short turn get it play able and on its way to a nice restore. If BYOAC has thought me any thing taking your time to go it right is key. I can peace together the bezel, CP, and marquee after it’s relayed out, painted, tmolded, and MAME is running. Or I could stick an XXX-in one board in there untill next summer and tackle a full restor then. That way I can accumulate everything I need for a near full restore. Ether way I want to get the SF3 board working be for I do anything. |

Try stripping the black paint first, DON'T start sanding it yet!! CitriStrip is amazing. I cant believe there was more then one Ninty converted to SFII but I had almost the same mess as you, and I made it worse then it needed to be. The sides of Ninty cabs (maybe not all) seem to be painted with more of a GelCoat (like a boat) then a paint. If I had realized this before I started sanding I could have just stripped the black off and been done (with minor dings, dents and age). I use to work at a boat shop and the second the sander heated up that blue I could smell it, by then it was too late to turn back. |
