I'll be the second cool kid in this forum.
First (and probably last) time I've had every machine on since I received the candy cabs. (L to Right) Megatouch Ruby, Gauntlet 2, Virtua Fighter 4 : Evolution, Fist of the North Star, Castle Shikigami 2, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I'm rotating the games again soon.
"Regular Rotation"
This is just the bookcase I use for stuff I keep in regular rotation. If it gets played often, I put it in here. I've been trying to organize my collection a bit better, box up the unused stuff, pare down.. etc. I used some art I got from a local op to decorate, marquees, etc.
This photo:
Neo Geo AES with 7 carts
Xbox/RomzBox
2 DC's and a bunch of games
A Bunch of AW carts (KOF XI, FOTNS, Demolish Fist, KOF:NW)
CPS-3 Carts and CD's (2i, 3s)
NAOMI w/ CF Kit
NAOMI 2 w/ VF4:E
TMNT, Wrestlemania Arcade, UMK3, Magic Sword, CPS-3 PCBs
(Other stuff, I can't remember)
This MK2 was sold to me via description in much better condition than it actually was.
The tube was SHOT to SHIT, the CP was burned to hell from cigs, the buttons sucked and the sideart was weak and faded.
After much debate, I just decided to screw it and make it a Multi-MK machine. It would've cost a fortune for new art.. even if I converted to KI (which I seriously considered).
I waited a few months, ordered the parts slowly and replaced the chassis.
It took me about 3 months (I wonder why?) to get around to working on this thing again, butI did. I replaced the CP plexi, drilled the new holes (ruining the new plexi), replaced the buttons and cleaned her up.
The chassis made a moderate improvement, but it still looked like shit.
I had given a local game store my old 25'' dynamo. The monitor was damaged (specifically the chassis) and they decided to scrap it. A member here had it and on a lark, I asked if it was working. It was.. and when I got it home, I realized it was a perfect replacement to MK2.
I swapped the tubes tonight and I can't even tell there was burnin. It looks bright and sharp.
So, I'm notgoing to do anymore with this thing. It is what it is, but it's effectively finished for me. I may replace the art eventually, but I'm tapped out for a while with everything else.
Love this cab.
Megatouch Upright Cabaret w/ JADE 2 kit
Jade 2. I forgot this WASN'T a Rub. (been a while since I played with it.)
Picked this up at the auctions for $275 which is a damn good price.
Kids love playing with it, my daughter is a BEAST on Hoop Jones.
I like playing photo hunt and Let It Ride poker.
Not much to say, it looks nice and plays nice.
My newly acquired Blast City w/ Under Defeat (Naomi CF Kit)
Wasn't supposed to be mine! Covered a "friend" in the group buy and he dicked me over/backed out. It needs a good scrubbing, repainting. Took about 2 days to get the monitor issues fixed and get it into the house.
1p3b VF5 lindbergh panel on it, but I'm going to use it for shooters. Needs new buttons due to japanese arcade funk.
Love the cab, but not as much as the AWSD's.
AWSD (vertical) running Ikaruga
One of the AWSD's from my group buy.
Cleaned it up and threw Ikaruga in it. Needs new buttons, some scrubbing and a paint job.. but it's not urgent. Spent quite a bit of time de-stankifying it and getting it white again.
Plays great, my favorite cab.
May become my SC2 cab if I feel like rotating the monitor. Came from Dream Factory Arcade in Fukushima (Yes, THAT fukushima)
Got my SF3:3s cart reflashed. Now a permanent fixture in my BC.
AWSD Sit down (replaced the CP) running GGXX (Naomi GD-Rom)
You'll see from the pics, I swapped the CP with an E3 2l12b CP. I use this for generic 6-button fighters. Will be a SF3:2i or SF3:3s again shortly. I usually run GGX:Accent Core on it.
Same cab as above, running my AW setup w/ SS6
Odd thing about AWSD's, they don't support stereo for the AW motherboard. Though that was really odd.
I've got a TON of PCB's here and in storage, maybe I'll inventory those also.
Former Members:
All former members of my collection (not all of them, just ones I have pics of).
I've gotten rid of them for various reasons.
Neo Candy. I restored it and gave it to someone as a gift. Nice cab when I was done with it.
Four Slot, sold in Feb to fund my candy cab purchases. I dressed it up for Xmas last year.
25'' Dynamo. Given to local game store.
Gauntlet 2, one of my "Grail Cabs" -- SOLD OFF -- Needed Cash and Space.
I'll have to search out the thread where I told the story of this, but suffice to say, it's unnecessary now.
My son LOVES it, just like I did.
Great 4 player game, always something people ogle over when they come to my place.
Has a new monitor, needs new buttons to make it "factory" and needs sideart. Will eventually do these, but I just haven't been motivated.
More pics of former cabs when I can find them, there are tons.
