Sinistar Cockpit MAMED?

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

mahuti:

Go to an auction and buy some crappy non-working dynamo cabs for $50.

Bones:

I am sure this comment will be argued, but almost everything 1987 and prior would be criminal to MAME in my opinion.



Lilwolf:

Remember... with good plans and a weekend you can build your own for about 150 new... Then the monitor...

2 4x8 3/4 mdf sheets (~60 bucks)
box of 1 1/4" screws (4)
woodglue (if you want) (1)
tmolding - (20)
tmolding router bit (20)
paint + rollers (15)

then some extras depending on keyboard drawer... ect.

19" new arcade crt (200 shipped)
or used for (40)
19" bezel  (15)

I wouldn't spend too much on a machine when you can get old for 50... and new for a 300 with new crt.  You will get more out of them.

 - UNLESS -

You want a good jamma cabinet and get a jpac + arcadevga.  This will allow you to unplug your PC and plug in original games...  Then getting a good real machine is worth it imho.

But you can always get broken machines for 20-50 bucks... And sand them down, wood glue, some paint... and they start looking new again.


dek:

Do not mame that Sinistar Cockpit. Its a unique cab and a hard one to find. Grab a cheap Dynamo as stated before and have at it.

Gunstar Hero:

I don't think he really wants to MAME said machine, he just looking for validation of it's worth.

Again, that seems pretty fair for the Sinistar, but the Moon Patrol seems expensive, unless it's fresh like new and you're a Moon Patrol fan.
