Would it be a sin to Mame a Joust cocktail?
Hoagie_one:
local guy has one for sale, and i Love the setup on it. I really want to mame it, but its a fully restored Joust cocktail.
*Sigh*
Jabba:
IMHO. Yes. I'm sure you could find a junker cabinet instead.
Joust was one of my favs growing up...
Still play head to head with my bro...
ChadTower:
It would be a sin.

I would say so, unless you did it in such a way that the cabinet could be put back to 100% original when you're tired of it... No extra holes in the cabinet or control panels, computer components plugged into the existing wiring "J-Pac style" (you'd have to make basically a Williams pinout J-Pac style setup).
Alternately, you could buy the uber-nice Joust cabinet, take detailed measurements off of it and make a copy.
Or you could buy it, and just enjoy having a really nice Joust cocktail. MAME cabs are neat, but not everything has to be a MAME cab... This one's the way I'd go.

If it were the completely unrecognizable one I saw awhile back on ebay, completely covered in grime in some guy's shop, I'd say "go for it".
NOT on a functional, restored one though.
Let someone else, who really WANTS a Joust cocktail, have it.
