Midway Arcade Cabinet by Big Electronic Games
scheky25:
Does anyone have the tabletop version of this arcade game? The tabletop has RCA jacks as an input for plug and play games or an additional console to be viewed through the monitor. Is there a way to disassemble a PS controller and attach it to the control buttons on the system?
Viewsonix:
Thanks for sharing JBSierra, that is good info.
As far as I know, the standup version also has those rca jacks in the interface box on the inside for plug and play games.
Were you trying to replace the original joysticks and buttons with a PS controller?

Yes, you can use an old PS controller and the pinout on this thread to allow the use of the control panel with a Playstation. Pictures were in Reply #82 above.

Would someone be able to help me out by sending over the archived webpage for this cabinet? Yes I too fell into the trap and looking to change the monitor and add more sound.

It is both hilarious and interesting to me that this thread is still going. When I first found it, and saw it started in 2007, I had no hope. But seeing that it keeps getting revived, I've gotta laugh, and join in.
I have attempted the same as Ice2921. I cannot get it to work properly on an LCD. I have a Dell LCD 4:3 monitor with a composite input. Sometimes I get a B/W display with strange lines, although the games are perfectly visible. Sometimes I get what looks like a weak signal along with an off-color band going down the left side of the monitor about 1/5 of the way in from the side. It looks good on the CRT the unit came with, but as we know, the colors are a bit off and it's quite small. My idea was to convert this into a tabletop as the base was trashed on mine.
I have no serious love for this thing, but 4 dear friends of mine spent way too much on it for me and I want to resurrect it to make them feel better. I know they paid at least 200 bucks for it. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was crap. Only that the base was water damaged and it needed to be rebuilt.
I saw up above that Viewsonix stated the box might just not put out enough juice for another monitor. Has anyone tried a video amp? I'd much rather use an LCD, but I do have a source of old flat screen CRTs at work. I'm going to bring one home to see if the display is better on one of those. But LCD is definitely desired.
