Dave_K.'s Japanese Shooter cab (pics inside)
Dave_K.:
I do have a couple other cabs (mostly restored classics), but I still wanted this one for an authentic import expierence. As mentioned before, I think the Exceleena Blue is a rare model, and is (IMHO) one of the nicest looking sit-at cabs I've ever seen.
I did find out that Namco made a sucessor called the Exceleena 2, also with a 29" monitor, and its in Red. Here is a pic.
I think all the japanese manufacturers starting making sit-at cabs that could easily prop up against each other for long rows of games. This is another reason why the Exceleena Blue is different. Its really wide, and not made to fit well with other cabs (so probably wasn't very popular in cramped japanese arcades).

In the closeup pic of the CP wiring above, you can see I wired the buttons and joystick to a pair of 15 pin molex connectors. These connectors then go to a pair of hacked Dreamcast pads. I also have a pair of hacked PSX pads with the same molex connector, so I can swap the DC pads out with the PSX pads and now the machine can play Playstations2 games. Using PSX converters I can then further hookup the PSX pads to any other console, or a PC (via USB)...making this a universal cab which can hookup to just about anything.
Hooking up the video side of consoles is different story. I mainly try to map the console's output to a db15 VGA connector plug (be it at 15khz or 31khz). I use a scart cable hack for the playstation2, a vga box for dreamcast, and a component transcoder for GameCube or Xbox. PC is just normal VGA out. ;D

Madsmurf gave you that scan converter to run VGA ?

No I replaced the original std/med res monitor with a Betson Imperial multisync. It does 15khz-38khz. So no need for a scan converter.
