aracade machines, maybe classics like double dragon, or even games like raiden, or streetfighter 2, and maybe some new1s???

I saw a Street Fight II machine for $500 in the Quokka last week. Apparantly arcade machines with orginal "moves sheet" for games like sf2 are getting to be collectors items, so the prices are higher than usual.

Might be an idea to build a MAME cabinet and run what ever game you want :).

Jojo told me about the new buisness venture. Sounds like fun, good luck!

yeah i would say build a cabinet to house a monitor (LCD maybe), and run a old PC with MAME.

it shouldnt be hard to script a program with a menu so that it looks like the real deal + you have all the games at your fingertips with upgrade capabilities.

why do you want one pal?

Yep, I have done this & it's the go. I believe Leisure & Allied Industries are based in Perth & can steer you in the right direction for a cabinet.

Do a search for & you should get quite a few DIY pages if you're so inclined.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
