Title: Cool Find Inside My Virtua Fighter2
Post by: geomartin on November 17, 2005, 12:33:36 am: I picked up a Virtua Fighter 2 cab at an Ebay auction about 4 months ago. I just recently got around to opening up the back door to clean things out. There was a big metal frame screwed down to the base of the cab. It was powder coated white and wrapped in bubble wrap. It appeared to have no purpose, so I pulled it out to give it the once over. What I found was a beautiful metal display topper for my cabinet. It is silkscreened on the front with all the characters from the game! It still looks brand new. I wonder how many others out there have this piece in thier VF2 cab and don't realize it.

Post by: fredster on November 17, 2005, 02:32:18 pm: My record, and yes I am bragging - $25 for an arcade machine (arkanoid dead as a doornail) - Had $73.75 in quarters in it.

I find that when I get a machine with lots of quarters, the coindoor is locked up and it looks like it's been sitting in dust for years.
