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.
