NFL Blitz cab - just got one
« on: March 13, 2008, 12:51:58 pm »
I just claimed this cab and had some questions...

http://southjersey.craigslist.org/ele/602597891.html

1. Was it a good deal? Im new to this hobby.

2. It doesnt have a monitor, so is the blitz screen 25" or 27"?

3. Besides mame'ing this guy, would it be pricey to try and restore it?

Yeah, it's not an actual original Blitz cab, but that's not a big deal. If you MAME it, you may actually like this design better. I used and empty Blitz cab for my MAME, by the way. My cab was free, but only because the guy was going to trash it.

Here's the finished product:




MAME that sucker! Don't forget to ask for help and search around the forum for tips.

Congrats! MAME away! :)

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

It's a good deal if your satisfied, 
I paid 100 for my empty Blitz cab. You have to be lucky or very persistent to find free stuff in decent shape.
I have about 600.00 invested into parts, monitor, joysticks and box's of stuff that I didn't really need, and after 3 or 4 months of weekends.......end result........a playable machine.
Check out my project thread in my signature for pics. I tried to document stuff as I went through it.
Your cab has all kinds of potential.
Good Luck
GD

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Guess it depends on how easily accessable arcade cabs are in your area. Personally, I would've went as high as $150, just because they aren't as easy to come by here.

I gave $50 for my Centuri "Track and Field" cabinet. (Which was a beat up "Double Dribble" by the time I got it)
