pretty lucky this week.

Ok first off I work for local cable/internet/phone company so I'm always all over the place. While doing a phone install at a house I ran across a couple of old PCs in the basement nothing great but sure enough the guy gave them to me.



So now today I'm driving down the road and what do I spy? A cabinet with a orange trash sticker on it. I stop and check it out and it looked in alright condition. I knock on the door and the guy is like sure you can have it. It doesn't work though. So I load it up in my van and work around it all day and finally get home. I put it into my landlords garage and plug it in. The things pops on and everything 100% works. The CP is kinda junkage, but other then that it in great condition for FREE!

That is a sign that the  M A M E   G O D S  have summoned you.   Signs don't get any clearer than that!

Just got off the phone with the wife and supposedly her co-worker's friend has a couple cabs I can have for free also from his father that died. Sounds kinda like the antique car that sat in the barn covered for 50 yrs with 3 miles on it but I'll give them a look see.

That U.S. Classic board that is in your cabinet is a game that still has emulation problems in MAME...

If I were you, I'd make a post on the mame.net forum offering it up for loan or donation to one of the MAME devs to see if having the board in hand might help with emulation.  I don't know if anyone will take you up on it but it can't hurt.

I would also take good pictures of your marquee and control panel and submit them to KLOV.  While they're not that great, I think they're better than the ones currently there.

This will make the mame gods happy.  They will smile on you and bless you with more cabinets.
