If it's working don't mame that please. buy it and use it for the game itself.  2 player or 3 player?


build a mame cab instead

It is worth too much to Mame if it is working. $300-$600.

I agree, if it's a working original, don't mame it.  

If it's a poor conversion ... well, people will love to buy the working wheels, buttons & pedals, and even the control panel. [shrug]


If it's an original, you could buy it and reproduce it, using the reproduction as the mame cab.  Then fix up the original and sell it.

Championship sprint is the two player version.  It could be a conversion, but even working conversions can go for $300 and up.


(Super Sprint is the 3 player)

Thanks guys I did not think it would be worth that much .If I can ever get the guy to return my e-mail I will go pick it up .

I realy want to build a cocktail cab for MAME so I will keep this one to play and if I need the money I can sell it to help fund the cocktail.

I will post pics of it when I get it.

how can I tell if it is original?

thanks again

If it is in a system II cabinet, then it is original, otherwise it is not. Just look for the full sideart. Picture attached.

Also, it is not a suitable candidate for Mameage anyway, due to the fact that it has a medium res monitor instead of a standard res one.
