How can you recommend building a new one when you don't know what cab this one really is? Golden Tee dedicated machines (if that's truly what it is) have good sized monitors and a large CP to start with. The only problem (from my memory) is that the CP is pretty deep. If it's in good condition, you can probably mod it a lot easier, quicker, cheaper than you can building a new one. If you want a super fancy, lighted, etc machine...start from scratch. :dunno |

I like the deep CP. I MAMEd a Global VR Golf cab for a friend and it's awesome. Still plenty of room for Golden Tee and World Class Bowling, and also has elbow space for two players. |

I'm going through the exact same thing right now. I have a Golden Tee 99 cabinet (original dedicated) in excellent condition. It makes my existing MAME cab look like crap. :dizzy: I've been seriously considering giving it the MAME treatment, and this thread probably just pushed me over the edge. This cabinet is ridiculously easy to work on. My only issue: the monitor is a U5000, which is pretty much considered to be garbage. I have a 25" WG monitor in my existing MAME cab which I'm considering swapping. It is definitely an older monitor (believe it's in the 7200 line), but I worry about future problems with the U5000. Ginsu Victim, would you happen to have any pictures of the control panel that you did? Did you reuse the existing top, or did you cut a new piece of wood? I'm sure that speedklz wouldn't mind seeing this, as well. And just to prove I'm not trying to thread hijack, MAME that sucker. :) |
