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.
