steveh:
i would assume you would have to swap the boards.  or maybe they make a switcher.

He was just referencing different games that were designed as kits, etc that would plug into and be playable on that wiring harness. It's not an all in one board or anything like that. They usually had a seperate set of brackets that came with these kits that were used to rotate/re-mount the monitor if needed for the horizontal games. (like if going from a Donkey Kong to a Mario Bros.)

Nintendo did alot of thinking when it came to making these cabinets "universal" and designed alot of their kits around the fact that so many of these cabinets were already out there. (easier to market and sell a kit than it is a whole new machine)

Level42:
Ahhh, I thought so already.....what a shame. Would be great to have an "all in one" board like that.

There's been a small delay in picking this baby up.....tomorrow I have arranged a van and I will go get it. Watch for pictures here !!

Level42:
YESSSSSSSSSSSS !! It's safe and sound in my home. Left this morning to pic it up. About 1 1/4 hours driving, no problem :)

However, I feared that this cab would not fit in my own car because of it's depth.(Heigth isn't the issue really.) Also, it's a pain to load (and unload) it in my stationwagen, so I asked a friend if I could borrow his Peugeot Partner for a morning, and he said no problem :D

1st: Ready for take-off....
2nd: At the seller's.....hah, "Brand new, still in shrink-wrap" .......well almost, but not completely ;)
3rd: Yeah, it fits perfectly in the car and was a breeze to load ! (My "helper" is my son Mark) The bottom of the cab looks great, no water damage.

Level42:
1st: Mario and Luigi, ready for the trip !
2nd: And it's at it's new home !
3rd: My wife said, let the shrink-wrap on, good protection until you can start working on it (until I finished the Galaxian).....of course she was right but it's like giving a gift to a kid and telling him to not unwrap it just yet.....pointles :D :D
So I un-shrink-wrapped it and............OH MY GOD !!!! THIS LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW !!!
