Restore, Mame, or Jamma?
ienjoy:
Ok I have been lucky enough to get 4 cabs for delivery charge only. So my question is which would you restore, which would you MAMEify and which would you make a jamma cab of?
The cabs are:
Super off Road.
Pharaohs Gold
Frenzy Express
Vapor Trx.
I've got an idea on which to do just looking for your thoughts.
Ginsu Victim:
Kinda hard to do to much with those other than restore them.

If the offroad includes all its guts, I would definitely restore that one. If it's missing everything, your only choice is to MAME it since it's not a JAMMA cab. I had a gutted Championship Sprint that I MAME'd and it turned out nice. I was very careful about what I did to install everything so it could be converted back easily, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Vapor Trx definitely looks cool, but I don't know anything about it or the others. Like Ginsu said, I don't know what you would do with them other than restore them.

OK here's what I currently have planned:
Super Off Road, restore
Pharaohs Gold, remove the gun panel and covert to Mame.
Frenzy Express, not sure its a nice big cab and seller claims it only needs a new PSU so may keep as is.
Vapor TRX, for this I just had a flash of insperation if I remove the sit on bike thing it looks ripe for a Star Wars upright cab ;D (whats the minimum spec pc for this?)
SirPeale:
Vapor TRX is awesome. It's even better if you can link a couple of them together.
Where I used to work we had one in the shop already, and the boss pulled one off location that had been in a gameroom just off a swimming pool. All the metal parts were of course rusted. So they were all pulled, stripped and repainted - but not stock! They were painted one of the other racer colors, so one was red and the other was blue. Side by side it was really sweet.
