This was all the information I could find:
http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/ebaybigcentury.htm"
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthrea ... ig-Century"
They appear to be made by this company:
http://www.hsinpao.com.tw/"

But if you do discover something, make sure to update our wiki:

I'm not 100% sure the one I'm looking at is a 2s, could be 29.

The wiki page has a picture and that's about it, should I be seeing more?

You should see more, but no one knows anything about it. I linked there in case you learned something more about it so you can share it with the rest of us :)
That n-g link I posted seems to suggest that the cabs are fitted with Wei-Ya parts, but I cannot say for certain, I'd get in contact with that user and see if he can help you.
Honestly though, if you can find any non-clone cab, I'd pick that up instead.

Funnily enough I just phoned Jeff and seemed to have secured myself a Blast :D

Do JVS to Jamma adapters work in both directions?

I got one for the NAOMI I originally brought to play JAMMA games on...

You've made the right choice.

There are two different types of JVS adapter, one for playing JVS games in a Jamma cab, one for playing Jamma games in a JVS cab, they are not interchangeable, so you need the right one for the job

Congrats! Excellent choice! Don't need a JVS to JAMMA adapter in a Blast. Buy yourselves a 'Sega 001 loom' made for the Blast City so you can power both JAMMA and JVS easily. Just need to add a JAMMA-JVS I/O to fully play JVS stuff.

Here's a picture of it. http://www.sega-naomi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3415"
This is the part number: 600-7143-001

I bought it brand new at Yahoo Japan auction a while ago but i'm sure you can find one if you put up a want add in the trade section.

You probably mean the GD-Rom power split cable? Part no: 605-0041. Forgot about that. Only need that when you want a GD-Rom system. I'm using only a Cart system at the moment.

I can do better than telling you about it... I can SHOW you one and let you PLAY it!! :lol:
I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. It happened in the summer of 1959 - a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years...

I bought mine from Grant at arcadecabinets.co.uk (no longer in business) in March 2008. It came with an LG-Philips pure flat A68 tube and a Wei-Ya M3129DB chassis...

The tri-sync monitor gave a very good picture, and it's a decent cab, let down by the crappy Sanwa Joysticks and (I believe) crappy Happ buttons.

The base is easily removed, to make it sit-down, which is how I have it setup.

The chassis died a few weeks ago however and I've since installed a WG D9800 in there...

Not the split cable :) I've got a complete NAOMI Mobo setup with GD-ROM, I mean the board that the loom hooks into, and the mobo hooks into :)
