Life has gotten in the way lately, so I've been working in fits and spurts. Here's a summary of what I've done in the last couple of weeks: I wanted to smooth out the edges that I will be painting, so I used applied some Bondo to fill in the small holes in the particle board. Then I sanded...

Thank you! I'll be using repros from szabosarcades.com for all of the art bits (side art, marquee, control panel, and so on), as well as repro mini-marquees apart from the odd original or two that I have on hand. As for the electronics... well, I said that I've always wanted one of these...

On Sunday, I worked on the scariest part: cutting off the bottom edges of the cab and replacing them with new particle board. I was worried that my cuts might be inaccurate enough that the pieces wouldn't join well, and that the old wood might be swollen enough to not join well, and just...

I'm going to start splitting these posts up by day instead of by weekend, just to make it easier to manage for me. So, here's what I did on Saturday. I started working on stripping the inside of the panels. The plan was to strip the inside-front area, first by cutting the overlay around the...

I didn't look very closely, but most likely Happ. I'll take a look later when I'm home. EDIT: They're Happ-style, specifically newer IL sticks.

I only had one day this weekend to work on the cabinet, so I focused on woodworking. I sanded down the wood filler on the sides, but most of my time was spend on the back panels. The first thing I did was take measurements of each panel, which I will post here once I've verified all the new...

I worked on the WG K7400 chassis last night. Here's the star of the show. I've been eyeballing one of these desoldering tools for ages, and finally sprung for one knowing I was going to recap my chassis. Now I wish I had bought it years ago; it's like magic how well it works. I wasted so much...

No dice with the supergun. An acquaintance of mine has a couple of cabs with dual sync monitors and is willing to help test the board out. We’re shooting for Sunday. Will keep you updated.

I just remembered I have an old supergun I built from around the same era. It’s possible the video converter in there can handle medium resolution sources. I’ll try it out tomorrow.

I have a VF2 board that I bought almost 20 years ago, before I knew anything, and didn’t realize it required a medium resolution monitor. It was listed as working at the time, but I still don’t have a medium res monitor, so I have no way of testing it. It’s been JAMMAfied, and plugging it in I...

I spent some time last night trying to get the Sanyo DS25320 tube fired up on the K7400 chassis. Here's the label. Here's what it looks like with the back removed, and safely discharged with the pictured HV44A high voltage probe. The tube model is A63QDB891X. This one is unbranded a...

Ah, interesting. What makes the K7000+Zenith combo so good? I don't know how the RCA compares, but I'll do a quality comparison with the donor I picked up before pulling the trigger on swapping. I read somewhere that the RCA A63ADT10X05 that I have was a TV tube, but after looking into it...

I started off the next day by picking up a Sanyo DS25320 CRT that I found on Facebook Marketplace. I found some threads online that indicate this tube is a suitable donor for a WG K7400 chassis. Fingers crossed! After that, I spent a lot of quality time sanding. I have an old Black and Decker...

I picked up the cabinet last Wednesday, and spent some time working on it over the weekend. Guess what? I did a terrible job of taking pictures of the process. But, here's the work I did, with the few pictures I took. I stripped and cleaned out the cabinet. Apart from the back panels, there's...

It's dusty in there... ...but at least the amp looks great! The monitor has some pretty bad burn-in. You can clearly see a dark rectangle in the middle, and there's text burnt in various places. It's not so noticeable when the display is on, but I'd like to swap it out. Also to be swapped...

I recently picked up a Neo Geo MVS-4-25 v3 from a local collector looking to free up some space in his garage. I've always wanted a Neo Geo cabinet, and this has always been my favorite model. This cabinet and the sound of the Neo Geo splash screen during attract mode are core parts of the...

Looking for the following MVS carts (prefer genuine, non-bootleg): Windjammers Metal Slug X Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble Thanks!

The v291 Looks like this. The v185 looks basically identical except it has "V185 I/O PCB" printed on the PCB instead of having a sticker like the above.

I'm looking for a Namco v185 or v291 I/O board for Time Crisis 2/3. I got a "working" one from eBay that wasn't, so now I need one that actually is. Thanks!

I am very interested! Sending a PM now.
