Urgent please help!
« on: November 04, 2005, 09:48:50 pm »
Please bear with me folks I'm brand new at this...

Ran across the attached dealie almost by accident and am glad I did!

I believe it to be one of these--http://www.slikstik.com/arcfeatures.htm...

It comes with no screen, but the fellow said that it was fitted for a 27 inch Wells Gardner...

I've got him down to $200 or less...  It's not that actual construct; it's an identical kit though...

Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me!

Here's the issue though:
The only way it's currently worth it to me is if I can get a fairly elaboroute modular CP to work with it.
     I've been thinking a la -- http://www.beersmith.com/mame/controls.htm...

To make thing just that much more intricate,  I have need to wire a PS2, an XBOX, AND a Dreamcast into it.  That MUST include my Virtual On Twin Sticks, a 6 button Capcom fighter setup and Dual Lightguns.  Doc's concept seems to be upgradable as well so...

ARGH!  Money is very tight, but letting this slip by seems a SKttN...

Haste is (figures eh?) of quite the essence I fear so please all I need is a 75% or so probability that it could be finagled together.

Thanks much!

Fred

Hey Fred,

I bought the assembled one in your picture from Justin a couple days ago  ;D .  Quality construction to say the least.  I don't think settng up a modular CP would be too much of a problem if you were looking to go that route.  I'll be assembling mine as soon as my D9200 gets here.  Just going to make a couple different CP's I think.  Let me know if you get it.

Must have! Must buy!   Price for MDF alone would be at least $80.  you can occasionally find old empty cabs for less than $30, but, if it looks good, get it -- you can always modify it.

Also - next time make your subject heading more descriptive so as to get more viewers.  Nix the urgency.

If you are being charged $200 for the entire, unpopulated cabinet pictured, jump on it!!!  Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up one (or five) at that price.
