After successfully converting a Neo Geo cab to Mame, I am looking to work on some more cabinets and experiment. There's a bankruptcy auction coming up next week and the following cabinets are part of the auction: Tekken, High Impact Football, Street Fighter II, Skull & Crossbones, Simpsons, Toki, Knockout, Arch Rivals, Red Baron (cockpit), X-Men, Lethal Enforcer II I have reason to believe they all work, but I'll check them out condition wise. My questions are: a) Which one(s) do you think would be best for MAME conversion? b) Are any of these more valuable if they were restored? (i.e. Skull & Crossbones is probably a pretty rare machine, but not sure if anybody cares) c) What would you pay, taking into account the most-ikely condition if they were running? Almost all of them are Jamma+, and my research indicates they all run standard arcade monitors, horizontal, except for Lethal Enforcer II which seems to have a higher res monitor, which is appealing, but the control surface would have to be completely re-done. Personally, I am thinking the Simpsons cab would be easiest to modify and add more buttons and things, since it has a lot of play area, but the Red Baron cockpit must be kinda rare - although I assume the x-y monitor there wouldn't be MAME-compatible, the notion of a cockpit MAME cab is kind of appealing. Any thoughts? I'm thinking that none of these cabs should go for more than $250 ea at this auction. |

Red Baron cockpit? The vector red baron? That would be sweet. Not to MAME obviously, but to own. |

Where is this auction at? I'd love to have working tekken, simpsons, or red baron cabinets. |

I don' t think he will want to tell anyone. It will drive up the price that me may be able to get the cabs for! ;D |
