Figure I should start dumping things here instead of spamming up the "Post your recent buys" thread.
Popped open the control panels on my VOOT 5.66 cab for a mixed bag of surprises.
Regreased the sticks and replaced the grips on the original sticks on the RNA side.
Need to mold a new bottom plate for the right stick though, the hot glue irks me.
What work was done to this, was done pretty well. I'm still going to see if I can find some original sticks to replace the DNA side though.

Figure I should document some specifics about this cab since there aren't many floating around.
Monitor is a Nanao MS2933 with the expected Toshiba tube.
I/O is standard Sega JVS.
Billboard VS functionality exists from factory as winner lamp only, however the game supports full VS Billboards.
Game supports a third networked unit in spectator mode, selectable with the "satellite" option in the game test menu.
There are 4 speakers in each side (and perhaps also a subwoofer under the seat, I need to double check).
The monitor-side and seat speakers are an odd 3 inch by 5 inch size.
The monitor-side speakers are shielded. I'm unsure of the impedance as of present. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JV18YM0/ These may be a suitable replacement, confirmation TBD. I have purchased one pair to test.
Seat speakers are in gullwing boxes with an odd rating. I think 4 ohm, 16W? I will need to double-check on this the next time I visit my cab.
Amplifier PCB is 838-11650-23, paired with a 838-11651-91 lowpass.
If you are lucky enough to have original joysticks in decent condition and you plan to actually use them, a recommendation that I heard from TwistedSymphony is to fill the money-saving spaces in the bases with epoxy as well as the spaces next to the joystick shaft in the grips. Be sure to cover the the outside of the joystick grips with tape before doing this.
The bases also commonly crack around the screw grommets on the bottom, I would reinforce there too.
Marquee holders are bespoke to Virtual-On 5.2, 5.66 and Force.
VMU Slot is present in both control panels, uses sega maple pcb 171-79738.
Spring-loaded door on this slot often is missing or broken (both of mine are).
All of the artwork, except the marquee backing is printed on holographic material.
The screws / scrivets in the seat backs are completely plastic and must be removed EXTREMELY CAREFULLY. Ideally you should have replacements on deck.
This is not specific to this machine but it really annoys me regardless.

) -- Now I need to get a lot of the extracted resources extracted, however I was able to get one translatable PVR out of it.
MT files, I may have to dive in and try and yank the actual compression routines from the game code depending on what I figure out.
though I don't know if he'd want to touch virtual on for a bit after doing the 5.66 artwork LOL
