Hey folks!
I am able to get this cabinet from someone who is offering it to me for free. Which is very nice of him.

I'm not yet sure what the cabinet is... but, I suspect it was originally a golden tee cabinet.
My question is... Is that do you think this would make for a suitable Mame Cabinet conversion? I was thinking a 2 player cabinet, but now I wonder if a 4 player would be even better.. considering the size of this cab.
What do you think the dimensions of this thing would be?
Thanks!

That would make a fine two or four player cab. I'd do two players. Standard SF setup, with a trackball in the middle. Heck, it appears you already have the CP for the trackball set up!
-
Excuse my newbiness. What do you mean by "Standard SF setup"? Thanks!
-
"Street Fighter"
6 Buttons for each Joystick, goto www.klov.com and look up Street Fighter to see what I mean.
-
Oh! Now it seems obvious. Yes, I agree with you. That would be the setup I'd go for.
Does this look like an old Golden Tee unit to you?

Looks like it was originally a Konami Main Event game.

The monitor is lying back too much, and the marquee area is too large. But it's close.

I think it was a Gauntlet II.

Gaunlet 2----yeh, now that's more like it. Sounds about right.

I'm with the Gauntlet crowd.

I have a question, and it applies as much to anyone else as it does to this thread's starter:
Why does the player # choices always seem to be between 2 players or cramming 4 players? What's wrong with supporting 3 players?

That's a pretty terrific option, actually.
But, most multiplayer games are either 2.. or 4. So, 3 would be a bit odd. But, should be considered.
Thanks! And, I think everyone is right. Gauntlet 2!

There have been a few 3 player games ;)
Rampage, Battletoads, Xenophobe, Mercs, Combatribes ...
Besides, all 4 player games BECOME 3 players games if you only have 3 controls. ;D
-
The problem with a 3-p setup is that it doesn't work very well for TWO players.
With a 4-p setup, you end up with p-1 and p-2 centered on the front of the cab.
With a 3-p setup, p-2 ends up off to one side.
Not a HUGE deal, but could be annoying for your buddy that always gets stuck off to the side.

Bah, my buddy would be the Guest in my home and I would graciously offer him the P1 spot. ;)
