+1 for good quality JAMMA harnesses and connectors. We need them badly around here.

haha jamma harnesses are probably not something I would like to take on... they take a significant amount of time to make.

lol yeah I realised that real quick when I made my own bartop many many years ago (and that was CNC cut). Parts, time and effort cost well over the price people were asking to purchase for
Back on the jamma harness... sheesh... I can't imagine cutting, stripping, soldering and then covering with heat shrink 50+ something wires (and that's just one end), the other end will need certain connections to either put connectors on or other stuff.. I reckon it'd easily take me a solid 2 hours for something that what.. I could sell for 50 bux max? No one will want to pay more than that.. probably cost a fair bit in parts too.. I'm not a very business orientated person, but I personally don't think I would be able to sustain that for long
It's hard work that's for sure. Check this thread if you ever wanted to make some, @Frank_fjs has provided the files to print for free, the ribbon cable is from Aliexpress, and there's just one ATX cable that needs crimping: Arcade-Projects Jamma extension cables
Alternatively, there's these ones from that look amazing: [FS] JAMMA extension harness

You are totally right about the time & effort to do it justice... and make it cost effective. I have re-wired 2 JAMMA connectors in the last month or so and its a fucking nightmare! haha. However, given the choice $25 for a cheap Chinese one or $50 for a top quality one... I know where my $50 hard earned would be going.lol yeah I realised that real quick when I made my own bartop many many years ago (and that was CNC cut).

Problem being $50 doesn't come close to offsetting costs and labour.

yeah I know.. just annoying how shit the quality is of the ones available... best you can do is buy them and just replace the connector and power wires... still painful but probably less time consuming to make one from scratch.

How does an extension cable solution help you wire up a cabinet though? unless i am missing something?
It doesn't.
I assumed you were talking about extensions. My bad.

I had to resort to ebay/aliexpress last time
I've started looking into TSOP to DIP adaptors as a workaround, so maybe a solution there for you?
Last check before I order... anyone need anything from http://www.saveyourgames.it ?
Grabbing Cave Box Protectors for myself and 2 x JAMMA Adapters for @K0NAM1. Let me know by end of day if anyone wants to jump in on the postage.

Hey guys,
Anyone know where to look for a vewlix cab in Aus (i'm in melb)?
Also trying to chase down a replacement light cover/marquee (not actually sure what this part is called). I posted it in a thread in the Sega section but thought I would ask the aussies here!
