OT - Restore one? MAME the Other?

[Palmore]

I just came across to Out Run cabs for $50 total on Craigs list (man I love that place)

1 is kinda hit up, coin mechs missing, no decals, no rear panel etc the other has the side art, but it's kinda scuffed here and there.

I'm debating, do I take my Logitech MOMO edition wheel / pedal kit and convert one to a MAME / PC Race cab, and then.....

Either:

Restore the other to original Out Run? or

Build a Second racing cab (I have 2 MOMO Wheels lol, 2 matching MAME / PC racing cabs)

or....

Build a different "specialty" cab, like flight cab, or 1player with double joysticks etc...?

I'm open to ideas and opinions, new to restoration as well. I'm just excited to have 2 cabs for a decent price =)

I'm not suggesting you do this... (Because KLOV'ers hate anybody mameing a working cab)

You could use them both for mame for head to head driving games...

Looks like only 14 games, if you throw out the dupes.

You might live near me? I think I saw those on craigslist...

They are non working, monitors, PSU's, speakers, 1 has coin mechs... But thats it, no other electronics =/

And yeah I was thinking of the head to head thing, I think that'd be pretty cool!

I live in Columbus OH btw =-)

I'm about 30 minutes from Toledo... 175 miles from Columbus. We used to go hiking in Hocking Hills, south of Lancaster. If your into nature, waterfalls, and hiking it's a great area to go to, alot to see in a small area.

I used to watch Craigslist in Columbus, but I pared my list down to 60 miles. Someone else is from Columbus.... one of the original members... can't remember who???
