Got a Smash TV today $100 - what to do?
Dervacumen:
I purchased my first dedicated cabinet after finishing a MAME rig just a few days ago. It's a 25" Smash TV and works brilliantly except for sound which the seller told me worked fine until he put it in storage. Most of the joystick inputs seem to be dead right now, which I hope is a small matter.
Anyway, I'm wondering what the consensus is for:
A) restoring it
B) restoring it and adding a Total Carnage board
C) restoring it and adding MAME internals as a switchable doohicky.
I'm definately not going to gut this thing. I'd rather sell it as is than do that.
I've done a lot of reading on JAMMA and understand conceptually what its all about though I've not done anything like this before.
Thoughts?
Ps. it came with the requisite gum attached to the CP. But it's in great shape!

I never played Smash TV until I made a MAME cab and I have to say it is one that gets played a lot. Too much fun. If it was me I would restore it. Having a MAME cab in the arsenal makes the choice a little easier. I wouldn't MAME this one.
Post pics if you do restore.. and you can keep the gum :)

Yes, definitely keep the gum for that "real arcade feel." ;D

My MK cabinet still has some gum stuck to it under the cp... lol.

Well, what you should do is load it in a truck, drive it across country, and leave it sitting beside my garage door. ;)
Seriously, that is a good score. I would love a smash tv.
Have you checked all connections (Jamma harness, sound board harness)? You should make sure everything is seated properly after transport. Also, print out a copy of the manual.
