Heck of a deal ... artwork is BEEYOOTIFULLL ... a Multipede (even MAME-based) is a perfect use for this cabinet.

Nice Grab!



Hawk Daddy:

Got it today, and it is a beauty.  The art work is in amazing shape.  I will go in a retouch up the white.  And I'm going to MAME it with just track ball games, mostly bowling, golf, and then millipede, and centipede, and I'm not sure what others used a trackball but I'd play them on there.  Of coarse that means a new cp, I'll have to fab the metal peices to make it, cause I don't want to mess up whats already there.  The track ball is crap, really rough, maybe a rebuild kit can fix it????? let me know.

New bearings and rollers should make just about any trackball run like a champ again. In most cases just giving the bearings a good cleaning will do wonders. If the rollers are worn, they need to be replaced. If nothing else a brand new trackball could be had for around $60.

Before you resort to making it a mame cab, try to fix it. It could be something easy. Emulators are great, but never quite the same as the real deal.

If you do get it to work, arcadeshop has a multipede kit that you could put on the pcb and have Centipede on there as well.

If all else fails, and you must go the mame route, wait until a ---smurfy--- cp shows up on ebay and snag it. Converting an existing cp would be much easier that fabricating your own... unless you are a big metal worker.

horseboy:

Here's a crappy cp from quarterarcade. $30.

It actually isn't even that crappy. If you are patient one will probably show up on ebay for cheaper.

Hawk Daddy:

The monitor is broke, so I don't think I want to replace that.
