i was wondering if you thought this cab was worth keeping. Its a neo conversion in a dynamo cabinet. Its in fair conditon. The thing with it is i just put in a brand new monitor so i dont want to just get rid of it or anything. So what are your thoughts on this cab? Sell it, fix it up, or convert to something else? here are some pics:

Looks nice, almost as good as my converted cab wink (RIP Omega Race, no it was not me who did it). Keep it there for 4-player linked League Bowling, and for JAMMA boards and whatnot.

If that candy cab in the picture is yours too, I'd say just keep the candy and drop the conversion. You'll save space and have the more "home-friendly" unit.

Yes that candy cab in the picture is mine too. That is why i dont really need the conversion neo. I might part it out and keep the monitor.

it looks alot better in the picture than it actually is. it has no sideart or anything. and the bottom is rough and needs to be repaired.

I posted a question if it can be done in tech awhile ago..The tech guys said it can be done..
I would just have to search for the old thread.
OK here it is..I have had some ideas of my own too.
There was pics shown by Briggs of Cabs with multiple boards 6-8.

I won't do it on my current cab..but I would/will do it on another cab that I will buy someday.

I was faced with almost this exact same question. I got a conversion when I first got into neo, then I got my candy. In the end I decided to convert the dynamo back to Capcom. I got a CPS-2 boardset so I can play more of my favorite fighters.

Anyway, the conversion process is still underway. I'm not telling you what to do, just what I did in the same situation.

i'd say replace the buttons w/ japanese buttons... it feels alot better, give it a shot....

but keep it as an SNK cab,and maybe put in a two-slot.

Any one know where to get a wiring diagram showing how to install one of those multigame setups? Also, how about a parts list for what is needed to get it up and going?
I've also toyed around with this idea but thought it to be wrisky.
