As far as MAMEings go, this one looks like it's quite respectful to the original cab, so you get a thumbs up from me. Good job.
Don't worry, I would never destroy a classic cabinet.
I grew up playing these era machines.
I love them!
Thanks guys! Very much.
The only thing I'm not happy about.
Is that the monitor sticks out the back.
There was no way around it!
The original Sanyo monitors had a special shaped frame to prevent this.
My only option would be to cut a square in the back door.
And black spray paint a plastic square bowl, And screw it down over the cut.
Kinda like a PAC-MAN or MS. PAC-MAN cabaret.
If you have ever seen one of those?
Right now, I just have the back door off.
As I'm not wild about cutting a hole in the backdoor.
I'm trying to keep this cab original as possible.
