Sounds good to me!  Throw a PC with an ArcadeVGA card and a JPAC in there and you're good to go!

I was thinking the same thing.  It's probably just the CP.   I don't think the original TMNT had that large drop from the monitor to the CP.

That is a dedicated European unit. Different from the US ones. See the drop is supposed to be there, as the coin mechs are there.

Note the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles sideart.

Marquee is a bootleg though.

Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Make a new one if you aren't going to use the old one as is.

Yes you did something stupid, you spelled it wrong!
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
