My new 6 slot LAI cab.

Well i picked up a 6 slot rather cheaply today.....It's an aussie style LAI cab. Being that i live in Australia i guess that helps. Anyways i spent 4+ hours on it after i got it just playing around (translation:cleaning) with it. Some piccies

BEFORE:

Dirty...


Dirty some more


Very filthy inside


Some smart person thought the memory card slot was the coin slot


More free money....and some other freebies


AFTER:

Nice and clean


Clean some more


Clean


Clean



Well....what can i say. Never ever seen a cab so damned filthy. The amount of black gunk/dirt that was inside this cab......I ended up pulling around $8 out of various parts of the cab. There is this floor above the very bottom floor in the cab, there is a gap around 2cm between the two, and you can only get into it from the rear of the cab....i have no idea of what the reason for it is...but anyways i stuck the vaccum cleaner under there.....the shit that came out of there. Money, screws, papers, washers, dead bugs....lol. Took alot of elbow grease to get it all clean.

Note the board swap in the before and after pics. Had a 6 slot i wanted to test all the various connections to see if they work. The original board is in like new condition. And the slots are nice and tight as well, i think it's had very little swapping use. The lights behind the marquees work a little....standard on the way out.

The original board had a weird bios...had a wire running from underneath it running to an earth that hooked up to the cabinet door?? Might make a thread about that one as i'm curious to know what's up with that.

I only grabbed it because it was cheap. I was going to seel it as i already have 3 candy cabs.....but i think i'm going to keep it now. Pretty happy with the way it came up. The seller had listed it as having a few faults......which is never had? Ah well.

I'll never get over how wild Aussie cabs look. Looks like you got that cab nice and cleaned up, so congrats. Also, that monitor seems pretty sharp. Not a bad haul by any means, enjoy it!

yeah congrats. now you just need to swap out those buttons and you'll be in really good shape.

good work! enjoy

Nice work! I agree with you about keeping it, candy cabs are really nice, but that is something special.

Nice Cab!!

I love those cabs..I wish I had one of those..(in the US)

candy styling but with wood

Yeah they are quite nice cabs. The buttons will be replaced as well as soon as i find a source for those same types of buttons.

I was quite surprised actually, when i first looked at the cab and by the description the seller gave....i thought i was in for a hacker of a machine that someone had used at their science project. But underneath it all......it was quite good. The cabs look a little strange in the photos, but in the flesh they are actually pretty neat. I think the sticks were replaced near the end of this cabs life to as they are like new to.

Great machine there matey...i like these myself & that one looks in top condition.
Tbh...i do prefer woody's for playing mvs titles..
Just one thing...lose the Hasp & staple!!!!... .
Great work.

I've got my six slot in my shop and idiots regularly put coins into the memory card slot. For some reason a lot of people won't take a few seconds to read instructions first. They stuff coins in the memory card slot and then complain that they've lost their money.

Welcom to the club

looks great, btw just checking your collection you got some serious stuff man, im super jealous

I like the way those australian cabs look. Great looking cabs imo. The cleaning job came out nice and you're up 8 bucks!

This are some gorgoeus cabs...damn aussies!

Wow that brings back memories.. First time I ever played Neo Geo was on one of those, back in 1991
