I love these cabs. Takes me back to Skeggy/Ingoldmells bitdFinally got all the pieces together to have an m72 multi pcb. Long time coming and it's a genuine miracle I managed to pull it all off in one session. Lots of little jobs to do with the programmer later
Here's a throughly shit picture of it, 5 stack pcb now

This will probably end up as trade bait for something, but ninja spirit first

It was the goliaths and bas silver lines that made up the majority of jamma cabinets here, both very good but the bas typically didn't have a rotatable screen...or did it???

An interesting first quick skim through with this new arrival, I suspect all the data points for pricing/valuations are US based.

I bet there's a few headscratchers in there!

I’ve got one or two machines now, but honestly when I fired this up I had a hole sh*t moment. Not quite today but waiting over a year. All good.

You'll see plenty of that machine at the start of Night of the Comet

I personally would be ashamed to sell something like this with such poor quality soldering, this is absolutely dire. They certainly should not be let near a soldering iron, this looks like a 6 year old had a go......
I would open an ebay case to get your money back.
Yes, the board says Vogatek on it. However, I'm not sure who Vogatek is or if they're responsible for the cable effort.
Picked up an original Midway Galaxian cocktail on the weekend. I've wanted a Midway cocktail for an awfully long time but I've not been prepared to pay the import fee and risk getting something broken.
Body is in nice shape, the glass is okay - not overly scratched, though the paint has been very poorly touched up. Control panels are fine, the P2 lever only goes one way and needs fixing. It has been wired for JAMMA (not very well), and hosts a bootleg Galaxian hanging off a JAMMA adapter inside.
I've not inspected too closely but the tube is nice and bright with good colours (Electrohome G07-CAO), really needs a recap though which I can do easily enough since off-the-shelf kits are available.
Planning on getting some new CPs made up for 8-way sticks and 3 buttons. (Feels like every cab I get always needs significant CP work beyond just replacing worn out parts). Much as I enjoy Galaxian I'd like to play other titles as well.

Not so recent but a bootleg capcom commando. Slightly more interesting than watching paint dry, the bootleggers advertised their phone number on the credit screen. Cheeky enough.
