Yay!  An arcade conversation!  House/storage got a bit overloaded, so I moved a few of my games to the office.  Can you guess which one gets the most plays?

Yeah I took the CP off and it fit in my Tahoe nicely. Its the heaviest bastard you could imagine though.

Nice lineup SystemFreak!! I actually saw a Ms. Pacman (and a Tetris) at a rest area in Indiana or Illinois... I can't remember which now. I was walking by and glanced over at the game room by the bathroom and had to do a double take. Hadnt seen a dedicated Ms. Pac in the wild in forever.

I just got it to the basement.  Took the control panel off (obviously) and monitor out to get it down here, that helps a LOT.  The monitor and that tempered glass over it weigh a ton.  Its STILL almost as heavy as a regular size 19" cabinet though.

I've got a Turtles in Time pcb I picked up cheap on EBay a while back, kick ass game! I don't have any 4 player cabs though (not enough room), so I have to deal with a 2 player set up.

If you flip the monitor. You need special (Different) brackets.

And if you buy a DK, DK JR, DK3 and make a harness into a connector, You can switch it from game to game from the coin door and have a 3 in 1 offical arcade game....

I`m not that intelectual about playchoices and stuff, but it that a dual monitor?

VS cabs have a horizontal monitor, those DK boards need a vert monitor. It would be a super pain in the ass (impossible?) to tate a VS monitor without some severe modification, he'd be better off just buying a dedicated Donkey Kong cab.

I know of some people that sell Multi-Jamma harnesses, but DK, DK JR and DK3 are not Jamma. I'd be curious as to how you propose he wire them all simultaneously. I guess you could make your own connector, but you'd need a decent amount of wiring knowledge that I personally do not posses.

Keeping it as a VS cab will give you a ton of options when it comes to board swaps, that's what I'd do at least.

Last thing, that cab looks like its in REALLY nice shape, right down to the T-molding. Excellent pick up my friend!

Yeah I have no intention of changing it to anything else. I will add a VS SMB Marquee and change out the board/chips to whatever game I feel like playing. I wonder what it woudl take to add the gun to this thing?

Also I havent put the movie in lately to see, but, was this what Marty was playing in the Cafe 80's in Back to the Future part 2 when he finds a "Wild Gunman" machine?

Nice pick up. I'm actually working out the details on a decent little score myself which may also become a VS cab... we shall see.

 3 power supplys. No joke....

That`s why you switch it from the coin door to game to game
