Some Aussies may have seen the Gumtree add for this cab that's been around for some time.
I ended up paying the seller AUD 150 instead of the AUD 350 it was listed for so after a 150km round trip and I've got my newest project!
The day started with a trip to bunnings to hire the ute..
A crap load of tolls and extending the trip by 30 mins due to a wrong turn in the city... I finally got it on the back of the ute!
Have to give mad props to the seller who helped me get it on the ute, it would've been quite challenging by myself as this is HEAVY AF! Heavier than the astro that's for sure!
After getting home and completing the initial analysis, it's safe to say she's pretty banged up
Have no idea if it works (and won't know for a while as it has been outside and it's leaking water ).
Unfortunately, there wasn't a Naomi inside. It looks like a Konami Python system 16 with pro evolution soccer (according to the tag)
Audio board looks pretty corroded
As does the sega i/o?
Found a few of these whilst trying to strip
Never worked on a Sega universal before it took me a little while to figure out how to remove the backing so I could find where the water was leaking from.
After a good 20 or so mins, I finally got the back off only to find EXACTLY the same tubes I have on my current astro cities and my spare 29 inch (I didn't realise they were 31khz compatible?)
Found the wet patch!
The Nanao MS-2932-S chassis
The plan is to chop this down to make it a sit down but I have no idea how I will be doing that, I think I'm way out of my depth in capability.
The good:
- got it for 150
- no cracks on the cp
- no major damage
- I now have a Sega universal - I might do repro art from a new net city
The bad:
- no marquee
- rust on a big part of the base
- cp is 4 button layout and the start section had been increased from 24mm to 30mm! Who does that!?
- nfi if the chassis works - I'm not really too worried about anything else as I will probably just end up using a DC for this cab
- I've never worked on a Sega universal so there's a lot of learning to do (but that's part and parcel)
- will be filling, sanding, wet sanding and everything you can think of
- no dedicated work space to do all of this - was doing it on my drive away
