Title: Cocktail cab conversion
Post by: DarkKobold on October 13, 2004, 08:28:09 pm

Well, I picked this up for free from Brian Duel, ended up tipping him $30 for it. Worth every penny, and then some.  Finally works, after a year and half.

Thanks also go out to 3dmacman for his artwork, Oscar for his speaker hack, and of course bob-roberts for the parts.

I still need to reprint the artwork, a tad bigger. Ended up with white bars on the side.

Looks good...and very nice Game Room!
Do you know what the cab was originally?  Looks like a Midway cab but the control panels look a little different and the coin door doesn't look like the typical midway coin door.

It was a Stern Super cobra, but all the paint was flaking.

My gameroom consists of the sit-down MAME, Tapper, non-working asteroids and tempest, and then my new Taito cab.
I also have Star Wars and a Joust mame cab back home.
