Any HOUSTON area MAMEers here??

[AGGIEZ]

I was able to make Callans auction in Houston this past weekend and picked up a few cabs to turn into MAME cabs. I'm definitely green at this stuff though. Anyone in the Houston area willing to help a rookie along? I will be using a SF II cab for my first project. e-mail me at cardnutt@yahoo.com if you'll let me pick your brain for my first project! Thanks!!

I live out by HP. What did you get at the auction?

Just pick the brain of the people in this forum. There are lots of creative people around.

cw,

Thanks for the reply.  What's your e-mail address?


Buddabing,

I picked up a Street Fighter II cab with PCB for $1. Actually, it was free. I found 4 quarters in it when I was cleaning it out... . I also got a Rygar cab with nice marquee and monitor for $15. Not sure if the monitor works. I purchased it for a MAME conversion anyways. Finally, I stretched the wallet and picked up a real nice Golden Tee 2K for $500. Everything is working (marquee light, coin doors, monitor, etc..) and it even has a working dollar bill accepter. It's actually a GT'99. Looks like someone switched the boards, but Callan said when he gets a 2K board he'll swap me straight up. Cool guy!

As for picking brains on these boards, I'll definitely do that. I just wanted someone in the area that could come and do a quality check on my cab, maybe let me check out their cab to get an idea of what all the wiring looks like, and maybe help with the software. I basically need a MAME mentor.   . I don't plan on this first cab being my last so I'd like to learn from someone who has done a few of these so that I don't have to ask so many dang questions on #2-??? Also, #1 is going to be a gift for 3 of my nephews, so I'd like it to work...
