A modification of a well known quote:

Or as a girl I had a crush on once said about ten years prior:

If I had known there was a sit down Pole Position, I would have gladly bought the $75 sit down After Burner on CL and sent it to them as a straight trade.
CheffoJeffo:
I'm not so broken up over the death of the PP cab as there are more cabs than boards out there and the boardsets are a real PITA to keep running.
If Dad was an op, then he is probably less attached to cabs in good condition than we are (although I think it is safe to say that we *do* realize how many other cabs there are that are more rare :dizzy:).
I think ricing it out is a little much, but hopefully he will end up with a result that pleases him.
DaMulta:
More rare to be is Black and White games, or games as Jack and the Magic Bean Stock, StarWars..blablabal and more
Anyways
infinity speakers in the back = win
a lot of win! I wish I had two more for the front.....but I don't:(

Playing Fear 2 in this box is way better than the original game anyways:p and the game that I AM SAVING is Tron! My sis has one of the SNK games before NEO-GEO, and a few others in working order in her personal bar behind her house.

My plan is to make this into a giant AMD PC to take to Lans. That's why the original art work had to go! Believe me I thought about it long and hard!
Gatsu:
I can understand some of the sentiments on here about covering up the original art and whatnot. But its his cab. He's doing what he wants for his particular project.
I think it'll be a cool cab once its all finished. Hopefully you'll be able to pull off what you want for the project.
Malenko:
if hes posting here he should be expecting feedback; and there's nothing wrong with not liking the fact he killed a sit down pole position. And he did fail at keeping the outside looking as stock as possible. Unless hes going to strip the black paint he put on it, repaint it white/laminate it, then put NOS/Repro art on it, its going to stay in failed state.
the black paint looks like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and the red lights make it look worse (didnt think it was possible) Restoring a Tron doesn't give you the right to think what you did to the SD-PP is acceptable. Hope you like your final product, and just because YOU do doesn't mean WE will. kk thnx bai
