GORF!!!!
dmel75:
ok. It's darn near mint. I can't gut it. However, there are pcb or monitor issues. It powers on, screen flickers and that's it. Anyone have any basic troubleshooting steps? The guy says it was working then sat in a hot garage for a while. I guess I should start by a removal/cleaning of all pcb parts and see what that does. Will post pics soon for a 1981 cab it's very clean.
retrofuture:
Give it to me and I'll buy you a 60-in-1 Jamma cab.. :'(.
Benevolance:
Congrats on finding the cab. That sounds like a pretty sweet score.
I think what most people are trying to say is that this would make a better restoration project than a Mame project. Personally, if I had the room, I'd restore the cabinet. And then build a Mame cabinet with a PC inside to side beside it.
dmel75:
Yes, this is definitely going to be a restoration project, after thinking about it I just wouldn't feel right about killing it. I found a VERY good forum post about a guy who's already blazed this trail http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=80733.0 the only difference is that his machine was playable before he started. Just glancing around I don't see anything blatantly out of place but I have little experience. Here are some pictures of the 50$ gorf cabinet. I think it will be a fun project and was a steal of a deal! It will sit beside my Mame cabinet someday when it's running again. I'll try and keep a good photo log of my progress. Again, if anyone has any good advice on how to clean PCB's/Monitors I'm all ears.
TOK:
Good call. Thats way too nice to MAME.
