| VS Excitebike for $150? |
| (1/1) |
| FrizzleFried:
I have an opportunity to pick up a VS Excitebike in working order, decent condition, for $150. Good deal? I want to make a vertical MAME cabinet, is VS Excitebike JAMMA compatible? Being the cabinet it the same (similar) to Donkey Kong, etc, I imagine I can flip the monitor? Not sure about this.... |

Nintendo classics use a different adaptor. http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=VS2JAMMA http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=NIN2JAMMA But it starts to get expensive. |

Hmmm... The guy has 7 arcade cabinets. One is Battlezone...which is a definate NO GO (first off, I wouldn't convert a BZ cabinet out of respect, second, it's vector monitor wouldn't do me any good anyway). The other 6 are VS Excitebike, Heavy Barrel, Arkinoid, Kageki, 1942 and Victory Road. They are in various stages of condition. I am going to go check them out next weekend (he is out of town this weekend)... |

At least 5 of those last 6 are probably all "conversions". |
