Thanks much appreciated.
You sir are a WINNER!
When wifey said garage dead space was fair game for arcade cabinets, then it was all on like donkey kongā¦now to create more dead space Paid a couple more dollars for it buy some of the components are spoken for so pretty much same deal as first.
Where is everyone getting a nice astro/blast city cab from? Iām looking for one in Houston but am having no luck.

been slowly cleaning up the pinball, replaced the dead bulbs (apart from dhalsim, cant figure it out yet. Any tips? ) sanded down the side rails and cleaned the playfield too.
sweet.
Correction! Its a freaken triforce mobo Comes with a netdimm 3.03 fw and gd-rom, so all its not lost.

But the greatest surprise was free money in the coin box:

Enough there for steak and cheese pies for the whole family.
The person who sold it said it was not powering up and was selling it as isā¦the ac power from the switch was unplugged (which took me less tahn 5 minutes to find) and got this:

It has a triforce mobo inside with virtua striker 2002 trapped inside the gdrom and netdimmā¦so that will be the next testing phase.
Also got some dated mvs carts with it as a chuck in because they stuffed up negotiations (not by much):

Damn good find Rugdoctor!
Free money is the greatest findā¦ever!
Cross posting this in Krayās thread but can anyone suggest some good fans to place in a custom cab? Iām going to be running a PS3 Slim inside and what it to be as cool as possible.
Looking good everybody! Canāt wait until next Sunday for my Astro City head to head!!!
Wow Rugdoctor, so you have 4 vs cabs? Man i would love to get my hands on that Triforce w/ Virtua Striker 2002ā¦I would put that in my Naomi cabā¦
Yes, I manage to find enough dead space in the garage (without sacrificing a space for both cars) so it was a approved purchase from the missus. The triforce came with a working gd-rom and also a netdimm card (capable of netbooting) and also the game and security chip so can not be happierā¦unless I get a crazy taxi panel, pedals and interface then I too can f-zero ax on the naomi cab as well. I plan to run ST and Hyper on each machine and throw a 90ās night party, will make sure I got my tight jeans and turtle neck on for the night.
Thatās awesome, my plans in extending my arcade room came to a stopping haltā¦We ended up buying a daybed & now its officially a guest roomā¦
Does anyone have blueprints or a schematic to build a simple 2 player cab that will fit a 27-32ā HDTV/monitor
Edit: vewlix style preferred
would it be alright to have a 24 inch lcd over a 32 inch lcd for a 2 player cabinet?
Kray makes vewlix kit & look awesomeā¦http://customvewlix.blogspot.com/2011/04/updated-kit-v4-kraylix-custom-two.html
That would just bewrong haha couldnāt help it but it would be way to cramp IMOā¦Dont get me wrong i grew up playing this way, i never had problems with it but new gamers mightā¦You can probably design it in a way you can make the control panel longer but probably wont look that greatā¦Why not go for a 27", find a beat up candy cab & put one in thereā¦
