Dr Zero:

New guy checking in, I stumbled across this board while looking for info on what else arcade games.

I have been a gamer going back to the pong days and have tried to save/collect many of the older systems from the electronics graveyard.

Used to have a Popeye cocktail unit but it was lost many a year ago started to look for a  Ms. Pac Man for the wife and was looking at rebuilding one well life happens and now I,m back again 12 years later.

I have 2 cabs a roundup and no name that are going to be converted into mame cabinets since they were empty when I bought them  :(

This will be my first foray into building a cab so I'm reading the FAQ and getting ready!

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to a Never ending Project..

I don't think anyone here is done with their CAB yet  :o  :lol

Dr Zero:

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Well the cabs are not much to look at they are very dusty just waiting till the weather clears some to work on them.

The one plain cab is a odd one I will get some pics of for you all and maybe you can tell me more about it.

It has no rear door and like a large pull out section connected to the CP shelf.

The kick front has been fixed with nails that split the board so its coming out new strips will go in and two part front I think will replace it.
The upper with the coin door will be removable to get in the cab since there is no back door.

I might have a pic from where I bought the cabs from let me look...
