Was already afraid of that...

Sorry to sound dumb, but what is RGVAC....I'm relatively new to the arcade gaming/collecting stuff :)
Indeed,I thought about ultimatily Maming it in a respectful and reversible way. And with just the dedicated game of Domino's of course.....
There's over a year worth of restore work in it anyway for just the cab so....
I think I should look at it this way: it's 28 years old now, another year (or two) won't hurt it. At least, now it's at a comfortable place, no dirt or moisture....
Let's see if that Dominos on Ebay will go....hope not :)
ChadTower:
Paige didn't say mame it respectfully, he said mame it with Dominoes. If you can't find a Dominoes PCB, mame is your best option. Take an old pentium board, a tiny hard drive, run mame and dominoes with an old ATI card and advancemame. You'll be all set and it will cost you nearly nothing to get the game running again.
RayB:
Can a B&W be used with a PC?

Ow but that was exactly what I meant too !!!! Wouldn't DREAM to make a Frankenstein machine of this !!! No only a very careful heart-transplant...as artificial as it may be....
And look at those controls, you're not gonna want to play any other game then something like Dominos with those.....
But could I drive the b/w original monitor with a ATI card....guess I just tie the RGB lines together ?
The EAO switches for the vulcano's are readliy available here, but costly, around the 11 Euro ex tax....
