I have an opportunity to pick up a VS Excitebike in working order, decent condition, for $150. Good deal? I want to make a vertical MAME cabinet, is VS Excitebike JAMMA compatible? Being the cabinet it the same (similar) to Donkey Kong, etc, I imagine I can flip the monitor?
Not sure about this....

Sound like a good deal to me. But vs is not jamma compatable. You could wire it for jamma and use and adaptor for your vs boards. Nintendo classics use a different adaptor.

But it starts to get expensive.

Hmmm...
The guy has 7 arcade cabinets. One is Battlezone...which is a definate NO GO (first off, I wouldn't convert a BZ cabinet out of respect, second, it's vector monitor wouldn't do me any good anyway). The other 6 are VS Excitebike, Heavy Barrel, Arkinoid, Kageki, 1942 and Victory Road.
They are in various stages of condition. I am going to go check them out next weekend (he is out of town this weekend)...

At least 5 of those last 6 are probably all "conversions".
