Cool Find Inside My Virtua Fighter2
« 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.

Dead mice come standard with most arcade products.

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.
