The Official Post your Arcade Cabinet Thread!

This is the only thread on SRK that fills me with jelly.

I’m not sure what the name of the desk is but they were discontinued a few years ago… :frowning:

Too bad! Thanks for letting me down easy. :slight_smile:

It’s called (pause) JERKER

[quote=ā€œjonyfraze, post:1344, topic:94079ā€]

Jerker is a common man’s name i Sweden. Funny they didn’t use something else internationally. I’ve owned one of those btw, really great desk.

These cabs are all awesome, and I’ll post mine once I’m finally done touching it up. Couple of quick questions for those in the thread.

  1. My cabinet has a bit of yellowing, any idea how to get it off? Or do I have to go the paint route?
  2. Anyone have a spare, or know of anyone selling an Egret 2 CP that is for 2 joysticks with 6 buttons on each side? Mine currently has 4 and If I were to drill it, it wouldn’t come out right.

Thanks!

  1. Try searching about Retrobrite
  2. Someone just sold one on Neo-geo, these are very hard to find. There are alternatives however, you can get an Egret 3, they are the same shape & are easier to find or you can order a repro panel & then buy a repro CPO Egret 2.

Its currently out of stock but just keep on checking them. I got an AWSD one & turned pretty good but mine was 7 buttons.

Its been a while, but I have good reasons :wink:

Everything was removed from the upper (80 steps) location to the garage.

New location…

…and its completed

with a very special toilet

moving in…

fitting in…

And everything is working swell…

so in comparison, what I had back in 11th August 2011 : http://youtu.be/kricHX_Q_L0 and what I have now 5th September 2013 http://youtu.be/FHiIJpiMero and after dark http://youtu.be/ghhXX5xUtdM

Just finished a video demonstrating Street Fighter 2: CE M5 in the new room as well and its rather relaxing compared to anywhere else in the house :slight_smile: http://youtu.be/yqrWhJKtO0Q so yes, maybe little dreams do come true~

That toilet look sick, you should install that on all the candy cabs. Great job in your game room & very sweet candy cabs bro, conrats on the dream!

Lol…probably wont go well with the district council. Its only a small part of my life. Usually play for 2 hours from 8:30 onwards. Really hope to get my daughters to play with me but my asian wife is pretty anti-games.

My asian wife used to play games alll the time but she just stopped w/ work & 3 kids haha. She got pretty mad when i sold the Neo-Geo Puzzle Bobble cab. My oldest likes to play too much so we limit her gaming time. I try to make her main Gief but she no like.

Just a heads up with people who has Naomi setups…This group here found a way to play Atomiswave on their Naomi setups…http://64darksoft.blogspot.com/

I tried it out & so far so good. Only Demoltion Fist is available to try out but they have about 4to6 games already working. Here is a quick video of me testing it out.

My recent find

http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w624/ampyourstick/IMAG1525_zpsd8d0e487.jpg

got this from the recent ng.com group buy. Very happy with how it turned out. still got a lot of work to do. Just hooked up my dreamcast to it just to see if it fired up. Got a naomi mobo and cf reader ready to go. Just need to learn how to wire it up.

Wow that looks like a clean Blast City! If you got the Sega 001 Loom the naomi setup should be just plug in play. Congrats

Been ghost for a while…

@rcaido, my SF2 came fully LED’d. These are way too bright. I usually use the soft LEDs from Pinball Life.

I’d recommend trying out a sample pack first. I have all 3 of my Gottlieb pins using soft white LEDs. My Mario Pin has some color accents in the back box and blue LEDs under the blue brick slingshots. My Freddy pin has some Red LEds for added effect.

I’ve recently come into two additional candies. Another Blast City, and a Dino King! I’ve also finally got a Red Tent!

Here’s one of my buddy with my 2 Gottlieb Premiers (SF2 is getting a complete restore at my shop right now.) I added a fully RGB color changing LED strip under the pin. Freddy play is Red, Mario Play is Blue. When in attract, I have it color fade.

I’ll try to get on here more often! Keep the cabs coming!

Forgot to mention that the Dino King is going to be a dedicated Neo-Geo MVS. Building it for my Fiance who is obsessed with Puzzle Bobble.

OMG im so jelly with that Mario Pin! My biggest regret not picking it up when i had the chance couple years ago.

Good looking stuff guys! The Blasts from the NG.com groupbuy were all in better condition than I thought they would be! You all lucked out :smiley:

Yeah. I was expecting it to be really a lot worse since they were coming from china. Everything fired up perfect and cleaned up real easy. There is still yellowing but it’s not bad at all.
