Flake has a cab unfinished?
Yeah dude make it a williams machine, that would be tit
Flake:
wel why just not mame it? Its probably cheaper going the mame route dont you think?
LLUncoolJ:
I don't know, you have to weigh the cost of a pc and an ipac vs. the MW board and the JAMMA harness. You have the cost of a monitor and cp either way. Only you are restricted with the MW to an arcade monitor or a vga.
Then you have to figure what you'll gain from each. Unless you are going to put a steering wheel, flight stick, 49 way (which from what I gather, mame doesn't support), or rotary stick, what are you gaining from mame'ing it? You already have the ability on your existing machine to run the standard games. Then again, you have the ability to play most of the games on the MW board already too. You'd just have more authentic controls.
Since it is a Williams cabinet, I'd seize the day and go MW.
Flake:
Yea but I would really have to completely sand down the entire cabinet and buy stencils and then repaint the entire cabinet...........
There is no way to salvage much of anything about it other than the wood itself. It would be a complete overhaul from the ground up so the fact that its a Williams cabinet in my mind doesnt really add much to it.
It will most likely get Mamed at some point with different controls than I have currently.

what are you thinking of turning it into?
