  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi. Im looking for info on building a non emulator arcade cab from the ground up. I havve already built a mame cab and now i want to get an original ms pacman pcb and  cab plans then build a "new" ms pacman game. The price to buy a ms pac refurb seems to be around $1600.00. I think it would  be  cheaper to build one and that way the only thing i would need to worry about going bad  would be the pcb.  I know what all goes int a arcade cab but im not sure hw to put everything togather and wire it properly.

any info would be great.

thanks

Here is Bobs index page for various wiring and repairs.
