I know they are frowned upon

But does anyone know where you can buy these machines.

I saw a video tearing into this cafe and these machines a while back because they arent originals and dont have CRTs in them, but they look like a great alternative for those who dont want to have to fix a machine every 6 months when they break

Aren't they arcade1UPs?

Errrrrrrrr......... I Have a MAME machine and love it. These just dont look good at all close up and play terrable IMO, We got lucky and got to see loads of these in the flesh on the Stoke meat !

I only had one chance to see one up close. It was brand new and masive backlight bleed. To be honest, the worst tft/lcd monitor I have ever seen. Maybe some other are better.

no, they are full sized replica type cabs

i mean, you can replace monitors in these a lot easier than CRTs

anyway, didnt want arcade snobbery, just wondering if anyone knows where they are from

I saw these in Hamleys a few weeks back. Terrible screens and laggy controls.

As far as I know the monitors have an LVDS interface only. Not so easy to replace if original game CPU board is in place. With another lcd and an raspberry pi, great maitenance free machines.
(I know I'm off topic here, sorry )

Shame cabs are readily available on Ebay. Good luck! 👍

This is where we went , Playhouse Newcastle :-



The screens are way stretched IMO. Didn't play on them though to be fair. I have a 4:3 in my MAME cab and it doesn't look great on that though, Its good enough for me. I love my MAME cab. Want to get some proper ones once I am back on my feet and have room !!

I don't get it, get four Jamma Cabs with serviced Hantarex Monitors which don't go wrong often, 2 with H and V screens for Mame, 2 for H and V Jamma pcbs if you want to play genuine boards, if mame didn't exist it would make a bit more sense but how many of us played favourites like Double Dragon or Street Fighter in original cabs, hardly any because most were Jamma cabs

If I seen arcade cabs in any place that were lcd screens I wouldn't pay 1p to play em

I don’t buy it that crts are unreliable either.

I’ve had 2 failures in 20+ years on about 15 cabs.

Both were serviced and up and running in a week or so.
