Here's my question. I'm about to pick it up, but will it fit in a standard doorway? Does it come apart? That thing is HUGE! I'm suspecting that the front part (control panel and coin door part) comes off from the rear part with the monitors, but it's so hard to tell from the pictures.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

Congrats on your cab...I wonder if it could be MAME'ized easily? I don't have the dimensions off hand of the cab but here is another pic of it for comparison purposes:

And I wonder if your head can come off your neck easily. Let's find out.
That doesn't sound like a good idea? Neither does Maming that cab!

It makes sense if the mainboard is not serviceable and he can't find a replacement for it :banghead:

Before you bang your head too much, perhaps you should explain what you mean by "MAMEize" (tm?) ?
It doesn't make much sense to turn it into a generalized MAME cab, which is the image that your suggestion evokes. Do you mean something less destructive ?
Jack Burton:
I think it would make a great MAME cab.
There's a few ways you could go with it.
Idea #1: Replace the two monitors with one widescreen monitor and use it to play widescreen arcade games like Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5, or Blaz Blue.
Idea #2: Keep both monitors and double the image on both screens. This would still make the cab great for a 4-player situation, or for players to have separate monitors. Also, you could potentially play Nintendo VS games in it.
Idea #3: Use the ginormous control panel to make one hell of a frankenstein. You've got room for just about every control imaginable.
Idea #4 Make it two cabinets.
The fact that it is so big isn't really that much of an issue . If he's got the room for it in his garage or basement, and it will let you have a satisfactory gameplay experience, then it's fine IMO.
