Ok, I am doing a conversion of this JAMMAtized Berzerk cabinet into Golden Tee '99.

What color do you suggest painting it?

paigeoliver · « **Reply #1 on:** September 04, 2004, 08:31:11 pm »

Cabinet is currently JAMMA wired.

I just repaired the monitor, so it has a good picture!

paigeoliver · « **Reply #3 on:** September 04, 2004, 08:32:28 pm »

And here is a quick photoshop to give a quick idea of what it will look like.

If i were you, id just buy some mdf or particle board, make an incredible technolegies style cab, and take the wiring from ur bezerk cab and put it in ur new one. You may think thats a waste, but mdf doesnt cost much and it would look just like an original golden tee. This is just my opinion.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #5 on:** September 04, 2004, 10:03:54 pm »

Oh goodness no. I don't need to build more cabs, I need to use up all the ones I have now!!

Doing that would add $400 or more to the cost of this project (bigger cab = bigger monitor).

the3eyedblindman · « **Reply #6 on:** September 04, 2004, 10:43:46 pm »

I dont know, the incredible technolegies cabs have there own unique look, i can always tell a world class bowling or a golden tee just by looking at the sides of the cabs. 27 inch tv with s video (at sams club) 170.00, jrok (rgb to nstc converter) 80 bucks, and 2 peices of mdf, 40 bucks, thats 290 dollars. Yeah, i guess urs being free is better than spending 290 dollars, but this would make it look more realistic. Unless you were thinking of a 27 inch Arcade monior when i sed that, which are like 500 bucks

Up to tho, good luck with the cab

Games don't look good after being run through a convertor.

So far the costs on this one are pretty low.

Jamma cabinet $100
Golden Tee 99 PCB and marquee $114
2 capacitors to repair monitor .50

Unused parts sold off JAMMA cabinet for $220 (still have some left, so this number may go up).

Right now it is sitting at minus $5.50 total cost. But I still need to buy trackball and overlay, paint, and some new t-molding.

I wasn't really looking to have a big dedicated golden tee. I am fine with a small one.

Wanna here about my golden tee cab?
It will be in my monster 4 player mame cabinet (the PC version) it is almost a perfect match to golden tee 99 , but not very close to the newer golden tees, 2005 ect. It will be ran with a trackball. I just want one cab to run everything. If i were u id paint it black, most golden tee conversions are black, i saw one the other day, u could still see midway written on the side, thats how cheaply it was done, so just keep it black.

no offense the3eyed, but by now I think damn near everyone has heard about your cab

I think a white cab is really cool looking, but I'm not sure how your cab would look white. I'm sure it would be fine, I just wonder if it wouldn't be easier to maintain if you just painted it black. Either way, I vote for white or black, with a slight advantage to white.

Edgedamage · « **Reply #10 on:** September 05, 2004, 09:28:36 am »

Give it a caddyshack theme.

Don't worry, just about everyone on this site has posted a rude comment or insulted me in someway

I agree Paint it solid Black and then in Paintshop create a Circular decal with Golden Tee 99 in it. Blow it up and make it a pretty side art to make the Black less drab, and not so Cookie cutterish. Just an idea. But all the ones I have seen have been black.

Im with Edge and caddyshack theme would be sweet.

ericball · « **Reply #15 on:** September 05, 2004, 09:20:49 pm »

My vote is grass green. Or see if you can get some art student to paint a landscape shot. Or see if you can get a big poster from a golf course and trim it to fit.

Then again, you have so many cabs that this one will be just stuck in the row and no-one will see the sideart anyway.

Exactly, stuck in a row, sideart would be a waste of time and money.

SirPeale · « **Reply #17 on:** September 06, 2004, 09:36:41 am »

I voted 'white' only because there are few white conversions, and white kinda goes with golf.

RayB · « **Reply #18 on:** September 06, 2004, 10:40:59 pm »

My vote is for a rich DARk green and yellow or white t-molding.

IceCold · « **Reply #19 on:** September 07, 2004, 01:15:05 pm »

I voted green, I think that would look cool and would fit with the golf theme.

BTW, off topic, do you happen to have an extra Golden Tee '99 board for sale? I am looking for one.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2004, 01:16:20 am »

Ok, my board and marquee came today.

Marquee is the red style, as shown below.

This might slightly change up things.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2004, 01:23:05 am »

New artist rendering.

Anyone feel like switching over to red?

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2004, 02:36:20 am »

I forsee many whapped hands on that monitor because a Golden Tee machine needs a bigger CP!

That being said, I gotta go for red. =)

paigeoliver · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2004, 02:41:07 am »

The control panel in that machine sits inbetween the rails, and I can easily move it out a few inches. which I will.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2004, 09:39:38 am »

my board came this morning. It is one of the ones that has the modem on it and hardware to operate the scoreboard and such.

Tested it out in my JAMMA cabinet and it comes up fine.

RayB · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2004, 11:53:50 am »

Paige, are you a game operator? I'm just wondering what you do in life, considering how many machines go through your hands and how much time you seem to have to spend on them.

~Ray B.

PS: My vote is that you cover the CP and kickplate with astro-turf!

paigeoliver · « **Reply #26 on:** September 08, 2004, 04:06:26 pm »

Nah, I'm not an op. I just work at a hotel.

Chris · « **Reply #27 on:** September 08, 2004, 05:07:51 pm »

Go with the red paint; you already have it and it'll match the marquee.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #28 on:** September 11, 2004, 06:08:49 am »

The OTHER PCB that is going in this cabinet has now arrived. Neo Geo motherboard with irritating maze PCB and interface board.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2004, 11:17:35 pm »

I scratchbuilt a new Golden Tee panel to fit my Berzerk cabinet (anyone want a Berzerk panel with extra holes and a grey Hydra overlay on it?) I didn't have a complete Golden Tee artwork kit to work with, all I had was an NOS grass overlay (which is huge, I could cover a moppet cabinet with this overlay) and a marquee. I covered the control panel with overlay and I also covered the trackball plate (I had the Golden Tee specific plate which is unfinished because it is supposed to get an overlay on it). I used buttons with arrow graphics already on them.

I had previously ordered an untested, unknown condition happ golden tee trackball on ebay for $20. It ended up cleaning up great, and I hacked together a wiring harness and it works perfect (I AM NOT paying $20 for a premade cable, no way).

Tommorrow I will wire, sand up the old cabinet and paint it, and then install the stuff in it. I STILL don't have a spare 19" monitor that is 100 percent. I have a 13" one and a 29" one, lot of good those are doing me, eh?

So I will probably end up taking the good monitor from the High Impact and giving the high impact the monitor that has no red. Might fix that monitor later, might dump the High Impact at the auction, dunno yet.

Oh, I am also putting irritating maze in this cabinet as well. I'll need to do a bit of custom wiring though, as irritating maze and Golden Tee are both Jamma, but they hook up the controls different.

Nice to see you back again Paige, I thought you had gone "missing in action"

oh wait, never mind. Who won that election anyway?
