A buddy of mine stopped by to tell me there was an arcade cab sitting next to the curb about four blocks away. I started not to go because of the heat (97 today) but im glad i did :)..... but i will bring someone with me next time (flippin heavy) Once i got her home and had a cold one, then started looking over what i had and or didnt have. There were three boardsets mounted to the side of the cab and no power getting to them. So after about a half hour of getting no juice i looked up inside the cab where the on off switch would be. I was like it couldnt be, one of wires had come loose from the switch. I plugged it back in and all was well. I have a working tekken 2 and a semi working mortal kombat pcb >:D |

Wow. Where do you live? I want to relocate. ;) |

The lady of the house probably cut the wire so she could reclaim the living room. Congrats on the great score! RandyT |

So you like, stole somebody's arcade machine while it was in front of their house? :P |

That sounds almost exactly like my curb shopping find :) Back in the beginning of May during spring cleanup week, I found a NBA Jam 4 player acarde cab on the side of the road in excellent condition. Only thing wrong with it was a bad power supply. Replaced it, and it was up and running again :) Even the monitor was in great condition as it looked like it had been replaced recently with a new 27" monitor before they threw it out. Great find on the MK cab though. Are you going to restore it or MAME it? |
