How hard would this cabinet be to replace the control panel to a SF2 style setup

This is always why I ask the pros! I'm going to go ahead and pick up this cab then. The guy lives about 5 mins from me, so moving it isn't going to be to much of a hassle, just got to get it up some stairs.

I'll be sure to post some pics once i get the cabinet into its final resting place:  my home!

Final resting place? You burying it?

No way! I got really lucky on the cabinet. I've been looking for the past month or so, but most of the cabinets I have seen are in really bad shape. This one is in great condition, but like I said, I was concerned about the control panel size.

The guy bought the cabinet about six years ago for his son. He played it for a bit, and it has collected dust since. I could not believe the quality of the monitor, it looks brand new.

I am looking to turn this into my Superman MAME cabinet. I have a PC from a few years ago to use, and just need to order the JPAC, and the new buttons that will be added. I also may look to add a new coin door, as the existing doors have been modifed.

So, upon doing some research, I have this question:

I know that the cabinet has a JAMMA board in it running a 2-player TMNT arcade. Since I'm wanting to add a SF2 control panel, will I need to buy a new Jamma Harness to accomodate the extra buttons? Then run the JAMMA to the JPAC?

check the jamma harness.  it should support 3 buttons.  might just be a wire not used inside the cabinet.  for the other 3 buttons, the j-pac has screw terminals that allow you to hook up buttons 4-8 for both players.

when i bought my first cabinet, it was jamma wired with three buttons.  i also have the six button layout and used the screw terminals from the jpac for my other buttons.
