This forum is called "BUILD YOUR OWN ARCADE CONTROLS" People here will be happy to help "you" to figure out how to do it. If you have specific questions on how to acomplish a specific job then please feel free to ask them.
What people don't like here, is questions like yours where you are asking somebody else to do it for you.
You bought two expensive Cabinets...... Great!! Enjoy them as they are.
If you don't know how they work then why are you trying to rip them to pieces to turn them into something they were not designed to be. If you didn't know what you were buying or you were buying something that wasn't what you wanted, why did you buy them.
If you want to modify them, then we will help "you" do that. But you are unlikely to find anyone here, who will do it for you. Especially if you're not even prepared to take the trouble learn how for yourself. You're looking for too much of a quick fix here. You won't learn anything by having somebody else do it.
As mentioned above, start by buying Saints book and going from there.
Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

What do you mean "install new buttons"? Do you not like the candy cab buttons? If not, then you made the wrong choice in cabinet because those control panels are very shallow and don't have room for standard happ arcade buttons.
Fozzy, chill dude. If the guy is willing to pay someone on here, then more power to him. Obviously the guy is aware he is over his head and just wants help to get to gaming nirvana.

Or simply peruse and/or search the forum and ask questions. Save your hard earned money. There are enough FAQs, diagrams and documents about BYOAC'ing to help you out with pretty much anything to do with the hobby. To boot, you'll be self sufficient in the end.

I think he is not interested in spending the time/research to get what he wants. I have no problem with someone asking whether someone is interested in getting his cab working ..... especially if someone is willing to pay for the effort required.
Some people just want to have an arcade cabinet in their home and do not worry about the money. They just do not want to spend the time. Some people on here might help him for free if it did not take that much time and the location was pretty close ..... who knows.

Thank you shardian for sticking up for me. I want to learn but i want to learn while watching someone. I did have plans to install it myself but just looking at the installation guides on this site, i am just not ready to do it. I'm more of a watch and follow kind of guy so if i have someone help me out, i'll watch them, ask questions, and learn from there.
As for putting in new buttons and sticks, i bought one that was in bad shape for 500. The buttons were missing and the sticks were in bad shape. I bought seimitsu sticks and buttons already from glgaz (great seller btw) and i wanted them replaced.
I did take the time out to clean it inside out and it took me a full week to paint it and clean it. Might i add i didn't know what i was doing then and completely messed up the paint job. Fozzy, i totally understand what you are saying and i do take your words to heart, it's just i really want someone to help me, give me pointers, and just help me in the future if i do get more cabinets by learning the right way from the start.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and if i can't find someone (it looks like that's the case), i will use the fine resources and people here to help me out.
Thanks for reading.
