I got lucky last night...
Trimoor:
I went to the creepy old pinball/arcade store, and bought an "aero Fighters" cab for $50. It's so funny to look at; it's so skinny!
It's in surprisingly good condition, but it hase no PSU, so I can't test it.
The marquee is just a thin printed mylar insert, with glass over it.
I opened up the marquee box, and look what I found!
Incandescent!
Very nice over/under coin door. It has a key stuck in the coin return slot, and I can't get it out!
From the side:
It has a gameboard and a very nice Nintendo monitor (no burn!)
Now for the hard part:
What should I do with it?
MAME it?
Restore it?
Convert it?
Obviously I will try to get it working before I do anything else.
The guy told me it was originally a "toobin", so it's not an ultra rare unmameable game.
Overall, the cab is in very nice condition.
A few light scratches on the side, cracked plex on the CP, but nothing too hard to fix.
Nice?
Witchboard:
I wish I had a creepy old pinball/arcade store in my town.
crashwg:
could you please take DETAILED measurements of the cab for me? Ever since I saw a Toobin' cab a few months back I've wanted one. Better yet, where do you live? I'd probably buy it from you if you'd let it go.
As for what to do with it, I personally would mame it but with the whole Toobin' theme.
RayB:
MAME it.
Trimoor:
I live in minnesota near the twin cities.
I'll take measurements soon.
