Restoring an old Jamma Cab

[capcom_suicide]

Hi,

I have been thinking about restoring a cab for years, and today I was offered an old beat up cab for a cheap price:



The monitor is in good condition, as are the speakers, but the Monitor is missing a control PCB.

I don't want to build a MAME cab, I want to rebuild a JAMMA cab. I will be stripping the whole thing, doing a different controller panel, and replacing the marquee.

My question is, can I buy spare parts for all this from the internet? Can you get like a bare bones JAMMA loom, PSU and get instructions for wiring it all up?

Anyone point me in the right direction? I know it's a big job, but we all need hobby projects!

I'll come round when your finished to spill some drinks on the floor and stamp some chewing gum/dog ends into the carpet for the ultimate in authentic atmosphere.

It looks a proper cab though the kind you used to play over here. Put Robocop on it!

While I can't tell you directly which parts you'll need as I'm still an arcade noob, I can give you some good links.

If you haven't already picked up on it in the other arcade happy thread, http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/
or

http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/default.asp

are probably the best places to ask questions.

Buying wise though,
http://www.ultimarc.com/ is a must for parts
and also try http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/

Looks like I can basically get everything I need.

The big question will be the monitor, as it seems this control PCB is missing, I will have to get specialist help from an arcade forum no doubt.

Well step one is collect the beast tomorrow & see what is working or not.

http://www.giz10p.co.uk/ this is where I got My SEGA Virtua Striker giant wooden cab custom modded by Craig iirc? He tore out the entire Model 3 I think gubbins and put in Jamma bits so I could play CPS2 & MVS etc to my hearts content. Was really informative and helpful through the onslaught of emails I sent him. Also the folks at http://forum.arcadeotaku.com are helpful to apart from kernow always blah blah Oh CAROLINA!
