Ok... This is the deal....
I am looking to build a Mame cab and running low on funds. I also was running out of room in my garage so I have decided to try to kill two birds with one stone (insert Mame game joke here) I have a Model T car, made out of 2 mopeds, that I am willing to trade for all of the parts needed for a great Mame cabinet. This car would be great for someone who knows ANYTHING about mopeds. I on the other hand do not. You must be able to pick it up in Delaware. Here is what I am looking for and details on the car.
*** Items needed for Mame cab ***
Buttons (Horizontal Microswitch) Multiple Colors
(Preferably)
6- Red
4- Yellow
6- Black
2- Green
3- Purple
2- Blue
2- Orange
2- White
1- 1 Player button
1- 2 Player button
1- I-Pac4 USB w/PS2 Adapter (Preferably)
1- Opti-Pac
1- Spinner
1- Trackball
2- 8 Way Joysticks
1- 4 Way Joystick
Of course your thinking... What is this stupid idiot doing putting exactly what he is looking for. I am only listing the things I was going to purchase for my cabinet. If you can put together something that compares to this, I am a happy gamer. Although I need the Arcade hardware badly, I will entertain any reasonable offer, so don't be afraid to make one.
*** Model T moped car ***
From what I know... And it is not much, This was hand made from two Mopeds brought from sears in 1978. The bikes are made by a company called Kramag. I tried to do research on it and from what I have read, these are 2 Puch Mopeds. The gas tank is located in the rear. It sits 2 comfortably. The dashboard has controls for Horn, Engine and Lights. There are wires cut and I have no idea where they are supposed to be connected. Friends have told me that it should be easy to get it running. I would love to see how this runs but again I know nothing about what I'm looking at, do to it not having a mouse and keyboard attached :) The tarp on top is not attached in anyway and can be removed. I have place it on top because I am including it with the car.

Congratulations to **Birdtales** He is the proud owner of the Model T Moped car. It is hard to type through all the tears... I will miss her :) Let us all hope that if he does put a Monitor and Computer in that sucker that he post some pics :)
Congrats Birdtales!

Man! People are trading some crazy things to get an arcade cabinet. :D
First a piano and now a model T car. :)

Just wait, Birdtales will be trading cab parts for an 89 octane to 120v inverter.
(ya, ya, ya, some of us might call it an alternator...)
