Dave_K.'s Japanese Shooter cab (pics inside)
MameMaster!:
G-d Bless our beloved Dreamcast.
If only someone would reissue the damn thing....it would sell plenty for $50-75.!......I'm surprised no one has reissued it yet....it's a real shame.
It's amazing that they still sell the PS1.....it's inferior to Dreamcast in so many ways. Oh well.
Great cab by the way! ;D

Nicely done.
I have the same cab in my garage as well. I've never posted any pictures of it as I'm kinda still restoring it/ building it up.
It's still a Jamma cab with a CPS2 board inside. (ST SFighter)
The orange/red buttons you show in there are not japanese but are China clones of sanwa buttons. I've got some samples of those two and they also came with my cab in it's original shape.
It also had those older Sanwa sticks which I've swapped out for bat top JLFs with the GT-Y octagonal plate.
For mine, I bought it locally for $700 which included three CPS2 board sets. (A+B) Alpha3, Super Turbo, and Super SF2. I was either looking for an Impress or this one. I was glad I found this one as you've got to love those cup holders.
Nice wiring... the wiring in my cab isn't nearly as nice.

Thanks. I had read on modeverything that you had an Exceleena also, and thought you might like how mine turned out. ;D I'm thinking about getting those GT-Y restrictors also (although I don't mind the current square ones). I understand they are really good for fighting games, but I'm kind-of uncertain how the JLF sticks will hold up to the abuse.

You must have a cool wife! She even went out and bought matching placemats for the dining room table ;)

The JLF's should hold up fine as well as any joystick. It's still about the switches wearing out. The sad thing is that you can't just swap out one switch. The whole PCB has to be swapped out unless you have a donor PCB and desolder one switch at a time to fix a busted microswitch.
Yeah, i'm not a big fan of verticle shooters but it makes a really beautiful cab. It's just a true ---smurfette--- to rotate the monitor huh?
