Title: Questions about a StarWars Cab
Post by: wonderalex on May 31, 2011, 07:35:57 pm: Hi gang,

I've got a chance to get my hands on a gutted star wars (stand-up) cab for about 80$ - it's missing the CP (not surprisingly).

Is it worth it? Can I convert it to something else (other than MAME) reasonably?

Be seeing you,

WonderAlex

On the other hand, if its just the a box with with questionable side art (no monitor, marquee, coin door, bezel) then its just a box that used to be a star wars cabinet.

A gutted game would absolutely not have the monitor. Zero chance.
