A $10.00 Cabinet
« on: May 08, 2004, 07:10:43 pm »
I recently picked up this Double Dragon 2 cabinet.  Paid the guy 10 bucks for it.  I have since found out that it was originally a Stargate machine.  It didn't work for some odd reason.  Please take a trip with me and lets see why it may not be working......


It looks OK.  Mighty dusty though.


Someone took the time to add a Credit button and also added speaker jacks to the front of this door.  Still looks ok, wiring kinda janky though.


Houston I think we have a problem.  :)

Definitely a cabinet worthy of being stripped and turned into a mame cabinet.

Power Supply works, but the cord had been cut so I had to rig it up to test.  Power Supply is functional.

The first thing I would have done with that thing is start hooking up all the wires that are dangling, it might actually work then.

I've got a spare Jamma Harness, so  I'm gonna go ahead and re-route the wires and check the board to make sure it works.  I also picked up several PCBs from the guy for next to nothing.  Got:

1-Pit Fighter
1-Capt America and the Avengers
1-Vendetta
1-Real ghostbusters
1-Final Fight
1-Fire Trap

Each of these came with the Joys and Buttons almost all of the buttons are of the leaf variety.  Several are Wico joys also.

You got all that?  Man, I thought Christmas was in December...

I wish the arcade fairy would visit me too.  :(

Now I've gotta wire it up though and I have enough PCBs.  So now I am considering building dedicated cabinets for each of those games.  Damned hobby anyway.   8)

"Damned hobby anyway"

Agreed...I'm in the final stages of my first mame cab (converted from a dead 10 yard fight)...now it's just a question of convincing the wife that a)this is only the first of many future projects and b)I need my own power tools rather than borrowing from the neighbor...


Wonder how this would do as a side business?
