What's the definitive 80' -90's Jamma cab?

[BristolMartin]

I want to make a Jamma cab with 5 or so killer games in. What would be the best 2 player car to start with. Ideas?

Thanks

Goliath is looking good......

You might be asking that one on the wrong forum

Mind you, in my opinion, if it's going to get cut about, then any Jamma cab's a good 'un

(Not that I'm suggesting that's what you're going to do of course!!)

 

[BristolMartin]

It wont be cut about at all. it will be 100% jamma.......

I'd guess something electrocoin too probably, remember seeing tons of them when I was growing up in the 80s

Goliath or a Silverline are what I remember the most.

I do prefer the silverlines though, no offense RGP but the goliaths were a bit bulky

The BAS cabs are also well known.

Electrocoin cabs make me wanna puke!

 

[BristolMartin]

It has to be big so looks like im going with a Goliath if there are any left that RGP hasn't had!

I always thought the silverline (blue) cabs were the real deal on the Jamma front back in the late 80's/early 90's. Certainly round where I lived, it seemed to be the only Jamma cab I ever saw, rows of them.

Silverline cabs round here mainly too. There were a few EC cabs but out of the millions we had here in Macclesfield (about 10

) It probably went Silverline - 8 EC - 2

I'm pretty sure most of the Jamma cabinets I remember were Silverline as well. I really don't like those though, the control panel is too shallow and at too steep an angle.

I love my Goliath.

Rotate the monitor (including taking the front glass off and putting it back on) <4 mins.

Changing a board <1 min.

Plus, because they're huge, you can store loads of sh*te stuff in them!

Mortal Kombat II dedicated for me. Electrocoins are

 

[BristolMartin]

Steve - Yes it will have a switcher but It wont have all your game list Im thinking about 2 of these:

1.

Robocop

Street fighter {something}

Final Fight

R-Type II

and some others

Well Martin, that's just as valid a list. It's pretty hard really picking just 6 isn't it.
