Author Topic: FS: ready-to-go JAMMA cabinet of your choice in N TX (now with LOTS of pics!) (Read 10426 times)

AlanS17 · « **on:** May 25, 2005, 10:43:16 am »

*EDIT 06-16-2005* I just added ALOT of pictures so I don't know how long it'll take to load.

I have alot of machines in my garage. The vast majority are converted classics. Only 2 or 3 have bum monitors. So here's my question...

Would there be anyone in here (within driving distance of DFW) interested in one of these machines if it were cleaned up and had a good monitor put in it? It would be a ready-to-go machine without an actual board in it. This would allow the end-user to either put in their own board or MAME it. For a little more I could put a game in it, but my selection on hand is limited.

Of course, if you wanted to fully restore it you could go that route, too. However, most of these things have been covered up with formica. I wouldn't count on the sideart being salvageable. The cabinets are all 100% sturdy, though.

I don't want to start prepping these machines for such a venture if there's nobody interested. This is pretty much just to test the waters.

Sure, I would be interested in stopping by and taking a couple off of your hands! WHAT, you don't just need them removed from the property. I'll wait until your wife puts a little more pressure on you and then we can talk again! j/k

I would be interested depending upon what you got and what you want. I have a couple of guys at work that might be interested in a cab as well. I am looking for a multi-Williams (who isn't) but am currently finishing up a 2 player Dynamo Cab, Street Fighter II style.

I think we would all be interested in MAMEing more than restoring, so these might fit the bill.

PM me and I will give you my cell, would enjoy hearing from you.

NY_in_TX can vouch for me, I met him when he picked up his Tron cab.

Talk to you soon...

Kev~

I paid money for 'em. I can't just start giving 'em away.

I'd like to see pictures of that Dynamo when you're done.

If you're looking to build a Multi-Williams, though, you're in luck. We've got Defender and Joust cabs.

These things are probably better for MAME, anyways. They're already converted and I'd consider the sideart a total loss unless you have some creative method of diggin through the formica and paint to get to it. It's all under there somewhere (though I can't speak for its condition).

... and I'm not married so no pressure there.

I'll PM you.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #3 on:** May 25, 2005, 05:05:16 pm »

Yeah, I'll vouch for him, unless you got something I want

(man am I glad I got there before Kev got my tron and SW yoke!)

Kev is "eager". Kinda reminds me of this young whippersnapper who came up from Houston and bought up every cab around DFW.

Alan, how much you lookin for one of the williams cabs?

ny

ps I am getting some pms from some new guys to have another DFW get together. I would be good as there are A LOT of new guys lately. which is great.

I'm in carrollton, do you have any 4 player sized cabs? Preferably with 25" monitors?

Rip · « **Reply #8 on:** June 14, 2005, 09:30:39 pm »

Do you have any cocktails? cabarets?
I could almost justify a trip up from Austin for a couple cocktails?

The only 25" cabinet I have available doesn't have a working monitor. I have a working 25" game, but it's Super Off Road. It's got 3 steering wheels attached to it. :-)

If you want a 4player cabinet you could buy the Konami TMNT I was about to start working on. I'm only selling it along with the 27" SVGA monitor, though. That meets all your needs, doesn't it?? It's going to cost more because of the monitor, though.

thetered · « **Reply #11 on:** June 14, 2005, 10:12:28 pm »

It does, but probably out of my range, what would the damage be on it?

AlanS17 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2005, 10:16:09 pm »

Well considering the cost of the cab, monitor, and parts I've put into it...

How does $300 sound?

(That's actually less than what I've spent on it so far.)

I'm in the DFW area and I'm curious as to what you've got. Maybe interested in a jamma cab w/out board. I'd love to see pics!

thetered · « **Reply #15 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:07:39 pm »

Oh man, that sounds awesome actually. Unfortunately I need to stop fantasizing because I just bought a vindicators II to use. So unless you want to do a trade

just kidding, I'll have to pass unfortuantely. Wish I saw it sooner cause I would love a 27 incher!

AlanS17 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:13:42 pm »

Right now I've got...

Converted:

2 Kangaroos
2 Defenders
2 Jousts
1 Rally X
1 Ms Pacman
1 green Taito (a la Jungle King)

You can look them up on KLOV for now to see what they looked like originally.

Fully functional:
Dynamo with CPS2 (choice of games)
Super Off Road
Dirt Fox (driving game)

Complete but non-functional:
Space Invaders Deluxe

Incomplete and non-functional:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (4 player)

AlanS17 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:18:22 pm »

You can look up everything on KLOV until I get pictures up.

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:21:38 pm »

Ohhhh .... Alan why can't you live closer to me

I wantses a Joustesess ...

But, I should try to keep to level of projects down to 2 or 3 at a time (since I don't have a garage), especially since my wife is insisting that I move the NeoGeo and my Multi-Jamma down to the basement. And the "but dear, I'm still working on them" isn't cutting it anymore.

Cheers.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:25:49 pm »

I forgot! I also have 2 "kit cabs". They're just bright red generic cabs to put your own games in. Those were the 25" cabs, but both monitors are dead.

One has had a 19" monitor and a CPS board put in it. The other is still empty.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:26:52 pm »

I also have the following boards for sale. I can't get rid of all of them, but I can sell some.

2 Aero Fighters
2 Final Fights
3 Golden Axes

Raven.. · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:29:26 pm »

Eventually, all of us in the DFW area will just own each other's stuff......and we'll all be happy again. (And at some point we would probably end up buying our old stuff back .)

Q*Bert_OP · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:29:41 pm »

how much $$ for an aero fighters PCB?

Will you trade pcbs?

AlanS17 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2005, 11:41:08 pm »

I can't find a single board for sale online! I don't know what they're worth...

I know someone just bought one on ebay for about $50.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #25 on:** June 15, 2005, 12:56:31 am »

Defender makes a better Multi-Williams than Joust, because it has a flat wooden panel and ANYONE can make a brand new one for it easily.

alundra · « **Reply #26 on:** June 15, 2005, 11:14:43 am »

how much for the golden axes? thanks

AlanS17 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 15, 2005, 11:22:18 am »

I'll have to do some pricing on all my boards, including the Goledn Axes. I just don't know what they're worth yet. I'll PM you and post here when I have those numbers.

I'm moving away from the DFW area in a few months. Actually, just a few DAYS before the next auction. That is going to make the arcade-oriented portion of my life a lot more void.

How about filling that void with "one for the road"?

I'll try to take some today when I get home from work. They're all crammed in next to each other so I can't exactly seperate them to take pictures. I'll do what I can.

Raven.. · « **Reply #34 on:** June 16, 2005, 01:35:49 am »

Yeah, come on Alan, get to it!

I've been waiting on pics for weeks.

*DISCLAIMER*
The machines in the following pictures may show missing monitors, unpopulated control panels, and open coin doors. Rest assured, though, that every machine is complete. Some have just been taken apart.

That doesn't mean every machine is working. You tell me what you like and I'll tell you if it's working. I think I've got 4 or 5 machines that just need new power supplies ($20 - $30), and several have bad monitors. Neither of those are necessary for converting to MAME, though (depending on the approach you take with the monitor).

AlanS17 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 16, 2005, 10:38:08 am »

Starting with the working machines:

Dynamo with choice of CPS2 game
- Darkstalkers 2
- SF Alpha 3
- Alien vs Predator
- Mars Matrix
- Super SF 2

Dirt Fox (racing game)

AlanS17 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 16, 2005, 10:41:14 am »

Converted Kangaroos:

The first has been partially restored.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 16, 2005, 10:43:25 am »

Converted Defenders (or equivalent):
