A Pit-Fighter cabinet bought
severdhed:
i hate pitfighter, but that cabinet is in great shape. i'd probably build a new control panel, and mame it, but keep the pit-fighter stuff so it could be restored someday...you may run across some crazy person who is just dying to have an intact pitfighter cabinet.

Thanks for the replies you all.
I will follow severdhed´s suggestion and Mame the cabinet with a possibility of a (future owner) restore someday.
Mame is definitely the games thing for me, i would probably get bored in a week for just Pit-Fights.
Gonna go pickup the cabinet tomorrow btw, a 450km drive.

i seen one of these once with pit fighter still in it.
i actually liked pit fighter back in the day, still do.. although i hate the bars on left and right of the screen thats just stupid.
anyway it was'nt very popular and got converted usually.
would make a nice mame cab but i would'nt cut it up, like severdhed said make a new cp keep the old, dont go wild with drilling and cutting and you should be able to have your cake and eat it too.
Silas (son of Silas):
Restore it... then sympathetically 'let in' a mame PC without screwing with the cab too much. That way you can always put it back as original if you want.

Thanks a lot guys, picked up the cabinet today: the roadtrip was smooth sailing all the way, sunny day and no problems at all.
Here are a few pics of the trip on a sunny day in southern Finland, 454km´s total.
Now the Pit-Fighter has been played by 3 players at the same time and awaiting for a Mame PC in the garage.
Interestingly, the game has a counter in the coin door, which was showing over 44.500 plays :)
Where´s the money?!!
Starting the trip:
Perfect weather for a arcade roadtrip:
All packed up on the car:
On the garage waiting for Mame´ing starting right away:
