Fantastic post @Rob_bob_2k6 !
Only thing to note on the ashtray holders, is the bracket isn’t included.
I managed to get one 3D printed from a very friendly (and really rather handsome) forum member.
I think you can download the pattern from Gate Ninety, and get an online service to print it…
If you want a SP panel, or perhaps this is your only cab and you want a custom ‘MVS’ six button panel (Don’t forget to use a JAMMA -> MVS adapter!!!) then Alberto is second to none at knocking up custom panels, and is super friendly and easy to work with

Not trying to revive an old thread, but I documented most of what I did from my completely novice point of view here:-
There’s probably not a huge amount of info in here you’re not already well aware of, but maybe something somewhere will be useful?
A noobs adventures in cab ownership!
I figure as I've involved so many people, both here and in other forums, and I'll be asking advice all the wayI should probably just document the adventures... These are my first cabs, and outside of building my own fightsticks in the past, I have zero prior experience. As you'll see...

After removing the yoke to check for corrosion ..
Turned out my chassi heat shield that holds the vertical ic had been by the looks of it stepped on by the delivery man after it had been repaired ..
So after a second trip to grant …
It lives .. will be repatriated to the u4 shortly 👍
Got used to the B&olufson tube it’s nice

Thinking being that considering it is only really missing the chassis, I don't think you are gonna get a candy cab in any condition for much under £500, unless its's one of those plastic quiz machine things. I prefer a project over something brand new as I am a chap bast$$d
