I actually like those die hard cabs. Everyone says they look like a trash can, it has a very distinct look. I almost bought one at one point.Reason for asking is I have one of those big ugly Die Hard Arcade cabs that I will be converting. More work to add buttons 4-5-6 since the button layout is psuedo-Astro City layout but not quite.
The reputation as the "trash can cab" has to do with the fact that Sega commissioned a company that normally only manufactures trash cans to make that cab. they do feel like they're made out of the same plastic material as modern trash cans.Everyone says they look like a trash can, it has a very distinct look

They do look kind of cool but they're horribly designed. the monitor is nearly impossible to get to without disassembling the whole damn thing and opening up the control panel is annoying as it involves two separate keys in very tricky to access locations.
the cabinet is also super heavy due to the giant metal base and the PCB is mounted to the back door so swapping out games (or carts) is also a huge pain in the ass.
but hey... looks cool![]()
It's connector CN21 (to the right of the JAMMA edge connector), it's a JST NH 11 pin connectorI'm still looking so, ¿does anybody here knows how to make one?
Hey man. I found your thread over on KLOV. Post the updates on that project here too. I plan on giving that ugly beast of a cab the sit down Candy Cab treatment as well.Im the guy doing the sit down conversion.Still need to finish that, but got a NAC, a Megalo 410, and a OK Baby dumped in my lap, along with a few other things...so time has been scarce....
Will be leaving mine as 3 buttons only, or maybe 4...for neo's and stuff. Havent honestly decided, but it wont ever be running my stv multi again....I know that.
Jason on KLOV can do this for you. He does EXCELLENT work and is super fast.When I got my ST-V multi, I was searching for a kick harness for those games with more that 3 buttons, but it seems nobody had the specs for build one (or maybe they didn't have time for making one for me)

Thanks in advance
Alternatively, you can participate in this group buy for JST connectors. It's the JST NH series part number 'H11P-SHF-AA'. You'll have to buy 10 of them, but that will set you back a whopping $1.50 + USPS 1st class shipping. Pick up other connectors for the rest of your projects if you do participate to make it worth your while (and help us reach the $80 threshold).Jason on KLOV can do this for you.

I just had him make me a custom harness for my SFII panel to CSP1, CPS2, Naomi, and ST-V all on one cable!
Here's his page. Tell him I sent you!
