I'd just like to add that I have an arcade cabinet that was part of a failed project.
The cabinet is an old generic fighter cabinet, it looks kinda ugly at the moment given I've sanded back one of the sides and the previous guys paintjob SUCKED. The cabinet needs a good stripping and it'd be PERFECT for a mame project. Seriously, anyone with a bit of ability could sand it back, paint it and you'd have an awesome cab.
Metal cpo with 2 joysticks, 6 buttons each plus start buttons and a brand new JAMMA harness.
Monitor was working, but seems to be rolling. I havent tested it with a proper arcade PCB, so it just may be that I had mame setup wrong. It recently had the majority of its Caps replaced, so it may just be a setting to tweak.
Apart from that, the cabinet is empty ready for some BYOAC guru who doesnt have the skills to do the actual woodworking. This is a VERY nice shell, well constructed with castors etc. All sides have been routed ready for T-Moulding.
Will post some digital photos on the weekend.
The cabinet is located in SYDNEY, Australia.
Anyone want to make an offer??
