Great idea, I hadn't thought of a PC in the interim. Good idea. :applaud: But I do have some solutions up my sleeve. I will try to re-seat all of chips first on the original PCB. Also, I am working on obtaining a backup PCB as well that is working. ;D

As far as "MAMEing" it into something else though: Definitely out of the question. I want to restore it to it's original glory!

I took a look at it last night. Wow, huge is an understatement! It's monstrous! But it does indeed come apart as Peale suggested. The front panel has 6 screws holding it on that are accessible by lifting up the hinged control panel and climbing inside (yeah, an adult would fit in there without any issues). The monitor on the back also has a box which is also removable. I plan to grab it in two stages. The Control panel in the back of my SUV and the other chunk in a friend's pick-up (not full size unfortunately, which is why we have to take it apart).

But I'm having trouble locating the replacement CPO for it. Anyone have any ideas? Mamemarquees.com only has the 2 or 4 player versions, not the 6.

You can use this solution until you find a working board. but avoid any modification on the cab. Just use converters and please don't cut/hack anything.

I believe it's a feature originally integrated on the the PCB. I've seen auctions on the 6 player PCB and most images that are displayed on the "test monitor" that people show have the image cropped.

Found this image, but still no way of obtaining it yet.

Edit: Scott at Mamemarquees.com supplied me with the high quality Photoshop file of the 4 player version. I just need to edit that one into a 6 player version. (if anyone would like to assist let me know... It's tough to find the original graphics of the characters).

Let's make this 2 religious debates in one:
Are the outer joysticks angled on that thing? :laugh2:
