Trying to find this a good home.

I'll be straight up: Between buying the cab, replacing the defective cartridge, and replacing all the buttons and joysticks, I have roughly $450 and a couple days of labor into this. I would be happy to let one of you guys have it for $500. The parts alone are worth more than that.

The good: New game cartridge, voltages adjusted, all brand new happ competition buttons and joysticks. I specially modified the pivot cylinders in the joysticks to account for the mounting depth (panels are metal). Significant upgrade from the stock happ "ultimate" joysticks.

I did some testing and you should be able to just pop in a power stone 2 cart, set 4p in test mode, and play that too. If that's a major selling point for you we can test it with my power stone 2 cart, but that cart isn't for sale.

I have the large marquee as shown in the stock photo of the cab, it's just not in the pic below.

The cab uses a NAOMI 1 motherboard with cart, sun PSU, 2x type 1 JVS IOs, and the standard NAOMI sound amp/transformer.

The bad: Monitors could probably use a recap. The one on the right flickers during power up until it comes on completely. The good news is they're both 31khz wells gardner monitors so they should be easy to work on or get worked on in the USA. There is some burn in that doesn't bother you during gameplay; overall they actually look really good once they're warmed up. I already did geometry on them, but the left monitor just needs the green cutoff adjusted to match color to the right one (if you care).

The coin/service doors would need to be fixed or replaced, the main coin door is bent.

I can take more pics if you're seriously interested. Cab is located in Lansing, MI.
 
Man, this would be a cool sort of light restore project. GLWTS, thats a a really good price.
 
Welcome to the neighborhood @Mitsurugi-w

I'm not in a huge hurry to sell this, I just want to find it a good home like I said.

It's priced cheap because you have to have a double door or garage door to move it in. As far as I can tell it's too big for a normal doorway and the cabinet doesn't split.

Restore wise I already did a lot of the dirty work. The power cord had no ground, so I replaced that with a proper 3 prong. I already did geometry on the monitors, though like I mentioned, they could probably use some recap love. The buttons/joysticks were trashed. That was $100 in parts right there (never mind scrubbing out the spilled soda pop). The competition joysticks don't have the option for a shorter pivot cylinder on metal panels. If I hadn't modified them they'd be nearly a half inch too tall. I took the time to basically belt sand the pivots evenly so the joysticks sit at a proper height as if they were mounted in a wood panel.

Honestly if I had the room and means to move it into my place I'd keep it. When I bought it the game was crashing (ended up having bad ROMs on the cart), and one monitor didn't work at all until I re-seated the neck board. I was expecting it to be a part-out, but when I got it all working, I knew I had to keep it intact and hopefully move it along to the right person. Thankfully my friend is more than cool with it living in his garage in the mean time (even better, his woman is OK with it too lol).
 
I'm surprised you didn't just install a spacer between the stick and the control panel.

this is a pretty cool cab. If anyone buys this and wants a Power Stone 1 Cart I've got one I'll sell cheap.
 
Sadly it was not that easy. I thought about it but the studs are not long enough. Would have had to drill it out or something for spacers to be viable.
 
Cool cab!

Multiple sources claim that the only way you can get 4 players on Power Stone 2 is with a Capcom IO converter. Do you mind testing this just to make sure?

I've heard that too, and I'm also curious.
 
Multiple sources are wrong ;)

It runs just fine with 2 chained sega IO boards. You just have to set the cabinet to 4 player in test mode. Don't trust that "capcom IO demystified" page... I have tried contacting the author to fix this mistake as well as the dangerously incorrect pinouts to no avail.

That Capcom I/O Demystified page is bad, wrong pinouts, the switch descriptions are backwards, no mention of the analog ports...

On another note are there any other (non-linked) 3 or 4-player NAOMI games?

The only other one I know of is RingOut 4x4, but that requires special controls.

Yeah, I emailed the guy but he doesn't reply.

Only non-linked ones I know of are this (WWF) and power stone 2. With a link you can play heavy metal geomatrix with 4 people on two 2p cabs but of course you need 2 mobos etc.

It would have been cool if DoA2 millennium had the 4p modes like the home version but I'm fairly certain the arcade version doesn't support it.

Excellent! Thanks for this!
 
So... I still have this cab. A couple guys were interested but never came out to look at it.

Someone please save this thing. I bought it thinking it would have to be parted, and ended up fixing it; it would be a serious shame to part it at this point. it's been living in my (very patient) friend's garage.

The parts are worth more than I'm asking. #SaveThisBigAssCab
 
so when using 2 sega io with powerstone2. cabinet #2's jamma edge p1/p2 maps to p3/p4 ?

i just this built a capcom io 3/4p adapter for nothing i think lolz ...
