Hello! I’m Trenton, I’m mainly here to expand my search range for the original arcade Monkey Ball. I would be very happy to find it in its dedicated cabinet, or (probably more likely) find a candy cab, the marvelous banana joystick, and other hardware required for the game! I actually found this forum by searching most recent Google results for Monkey Ball Arcade, and finding another persons post in search of the joystick funny enough.

Hello!

Getting back into the hobby/collecting aspect of arcade hardware after nearly 20 years. Considering my options for an SD cab setup be it finding a good deal on a vintage unit, picking up a contemporary recreation like the Nova Blast, or going the DIY route.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Hi,

Hey there!

I'm currently wracking my brain training to figure out an arcade lock type and how to find or have a new key created for it. The cabinet I have came locked without any key and as a collector, I don't want to have to resort to any destructive methods unless absolutely necessary.

Other than that, I'm a lifelong gamer, not so much in arcades, but I have been in my fair share of them all throughout the 90's as a kid. I'm a major Mega Man enthusiast and collector and it'd one day be super nice to own a Mega Man The Power Fighter's cabinet.

I'd like to post in the hardware section of this forum in hopes someone can help me out but for whatever reason, I can't do that. Figure I have to post here first so that's what I'm doin'!

Welcome, MegaMac!

Regarding your lock—if you're referring to a specific machine from a known manufacturer, like Sega or Taito, you might be able to source a replacement key from various sellers or even eBay.
If it’s a more generic “woody” cab rather than an American build like a Midway, you might have less luck. In that case, you’ll likely need to drill out the existing lock and replace it.
If you're using the cab at home and aren't too concerned about high security, there are plenty of replacement lock options available that should do the job just fine.

[TexasFunnyhair]

Hi there y'all, I'm from Atlanta and have been collecting pinball and arcade stuff for years. Currently for candy cabs I have one Aero City along with two more Aeros on the way.

[jgarrettcorbin]

Hello! Im Garrett. Long story short, found an Aero City cab on the side of the road. Since I've been wanting a candy cab for a while, I took it home. The CRT was in great shape, so I decided to recap the board. I'm looking forward to being able to post on the Monitor Q&A to get some help.
