[simbamame]

Thanks krak, the hardest part was the rewiring 1st time it refused to, power up, but sorted it.

Nice job, Ian! Glad to see it made it to a loving home!

[u-man]

and the best is, it has a CRT... so much more fun, with the real stuff.

[KRC]

Nice Work!

Glad to see the cab is up and running fully!

[Tempest]

NIce job! I'm sure that Tom will be proud.

[simbamame]

Im sure he is pleased it went to a fellow enthusiastic person who gave it the tlc it needed lol, but to be honest was a good expierence to clear out and rebuild learned a fair bit of how to do some bits along the way.

[DazzleHP]

Nice job there!

I would have taken it if it meant a dump job but in all honesty i'm glad you took it - you did a good job and it looks like it has a nice new home there! Great work man

That's a job I'd like to spend my weekends doing. If somebody knew of one they wanted to "donate", I wouldn't mind tinkering with building one too. Hardest thing right now is the money, everything costs.

Its an ultimarc JPAC. The machine is Jamma.

[stigzler]

Ah... thanks. Jamma's one thing never looked into... 'nuff on with this misbehaving beast!

[Tom Speirs]

Jamma cabs are a cheap way of doing of it. You can (or could) pick them up for a couple of hundred and you get a real CRT although not in good shape. The cab also has an Ultimarc ArcaeVGA card for the monitor.

And its currently working sweet as a nut, just connected it to the home network and updated to the latest gameEx version.

[Adultery]

"Sweet as a nut" means something totally different here simba! Lol!

[simbamame]

Added a bar stool finishes it off.
