Excuse the mess and chaos all around, this obviously isn't where it lives... just where I left it because I can't be arsed to do any more tonight.

Finally got this bad boy upstairs. Rotated the monitor, fitted a 'coin up' button where the rusty old coin reject button was, swapped in an Alberto 1p CP, with a LS56-01 plus the Kowal short throw mod, a shiny new set of Qanba 'Gravity' mechanical switch buttons, removed the incredibly loud PSU fan and replaced it with a nice quiet Noctua, screwed the PCB and JVS ->JAMMA adapter onto the board like a grown up, and gave it a bit of a clean and tidy.
The gold start button was simply because it was the only spare 24mm button I could find tonight, but I think I'm keeping it. I quite like it.

Just need to get a move strip printed up and it's sorted.

It's actually in pretty good cosmetic shape. When I bought it I planned to tart it right up, but I'm more than happy with it as is. It'll stay this way now for the forseeable.

By FAR it was the Electrocoin. The stairs have a sharp bend at the top, and it was before I was confident enough to take the monitor out, so three of us hefted it up there.

Jesus!?... I was going to ask that question!... I'm impressed you got the Electrocoin 6 upstairs!!.. I bet all three's rolox were close to the floor! :shock:
Bravo and Top windy 2 with one of my favourites installed!.
Best thing is now, there're all upstairs, so you won't be arsed selling any!.
So that means... There's even more room downstairs for more cabs!.. 8-)

Nice cab Chris, looks in good shape. I had a hard enough time getting my cabs up the step into the house, so I've decided to never try get one up the stairs!

The monitor and CP are the problem!

Love it! That looks great!!

Alberto panel?

Now I actually really want a Windy for a tate cab, so I can use the Windy II in horizontal for the 31kHz stuff (really only AW to be fair) as well as other horizontal JAMMA stuff.

My recently acquired RODA is crying out to be played, but right now it’ll have to go in the U4 with a JAMMA adapter.
