Altered Beast cab

[Wadeduck]

I have a co-worker who is selling an altered beast cab for $150.  He says it is working except the sound is shot.  Anyone know if this sounds like a good deal?  How hard is it to get sound working again?  Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Go for it. Could just be a broken wire.

Get some photos..... I think Altered Beast was a kit only, which means that cabinet was something else prior. Maybe a "classic".

Next thing, if you buy it, JAMMA games won't work in it (nor will a j-pac). Sega used their own pin-out format.

Lastly, regarding the sound problem, KLOV has this to say about it:
Fixes
This PCB also suffers from the same problem as Shinobi, however the sound fix varies slightly. You still replace the custom Sega chip at with a standard Z80, however you replace the ROM at location A10, as opposed to A7 on Shinobi.

I was planning on doing the J-pac thing.   I was hoping for an easy change over to PC but that sounds like its not going to happen.  I wouldn't just gut it but I really wanted it for Mame etc.  If anyone here is interrested I will let him know.  Looks like I will have to bite the bullet and finally build my 4-player oak finish cab.

It's not that difficult to re-wire it with a jamma harness... It's a matter of just wiring the right wire to the right spot on the harness. But that's your call if you feel confident enough to do something like that.

well if youre gonna go through the trouble of wiring a jpac why not just use an Ipac? easier to do if youre not confident with wires
