Title: Robby Mac's 2nd 'build'
Post by: RobbyMac on March 21, 2010, 04:27:11 pm

A friend from work got a Diehard cabinet. It was gutted with virtually nothing (not even controls). We do have the bezel, marquee cover, etc... We'll be converting it to a 2player mame with trackball.

It will be slow going, and will be interesting to see what we come up with working with the plastic.
