Do you think this could turn in a mame cabinet ?

WTF is a fruit machine and why does JCL keep saying it?
quarterback:
Oddly enought, a "Fruit Machine" ends up being very similar to what I imagined every time I saw the phrase used in this thread.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_Machine
--- Code: ---The fruit machine is a jocular term for a device developed in Canada that was supposed to be able to identify homosexuals. The subjects were made to view pornography, and the device measured the pupils of the eyes, perspiration, and pulse for a supposed erotic response.
The fruit machine was employed in Canada in the 1950s and 1960s during a campaign to eliminate all homosexuals from the civil service, the RCMP, and the military.
--- End code ---
Oh, and it also happens to be "a British term for a slot machine. "
TOK:
Can't really see how deep the control panel is from your pic, but since it's deep enough for a trackball, I think that'd make a cool cab. I would yank the panel and make a new one, so the machine could be put back to stock if you wanted.
freak:
What do you mean TOK ?
Building a new control panel for this machine (wass planning on doing this)
or pulling this control panel and make a new cabinet ?
I would like to try if i could make this one into a mame cabinet, i can go wrong somewhere cause i know where i can get another one lol :)
Grasshopper:
Looks like it would make a great MAME machine. Nice screen angle. If I lived in Belgium I'd snap one up.
As far as MAMEing a classic machine is concerned, the fact that a guy has a warehouse full of these machines and is giving them away for free suggests that they are not sought after by collectors.
If you have the room then I suggest you take two, one to MAME and the other to keep as a Crystal Maze (just in case they become valuable).
