The Pony will be Fully loaded with my three ALL time favourites!!..exactly set up as they were in my E2 12 years ago!?..i was lucky to buy back my high quality three-way jamma switcher from Sven666 he still had it!!...i had another one i sold , still trying to locate the guy i sold it to...very high quality kits these, full remote control & only power one pcb at a time , until you select another on the remote...there are some awful ones available that are basically ****!..

I'm rather keen on the idea of one of these swiitchers. Any idea on a brand or a place to buy them now?

Cheers lads!!.. A lorra, lorra lurve went into that one!.
About those jamma selectors.. Be careful, there used to be some real poor quality ones about when I wanted mine, I got stung on a few cheap Chinese ones before I found these, 'TND' .. I did have two of these, the other guy I sold one to has dissapeard.. Not active for a long time, I was lucky getting this back off sven, he's had it 10+ years!.. Each pcb is separately powered, only powers up one at at time when the buttons are pressed for desired title, but these days I honestly don't know.. They should have mastered them now. Have a dig about, but not on ebay!.
Remember I'm using three titles of exact hardware, no once screen is set, it's spot on for all three, so three different pcbs of varying manufacture, you will have to alter the crt remote.

I can't vouch for any personally, but I have heard good things about the RiddledTV ones:

Cheers for that Nem, I'm going to order some of those soon, look quality and each pcb is powered separate.. Years ago I got a few and they powered up two pcbs at once!?.. Picture was poor too, bleeding colours and all kinds of problems, cheap tat.
These should be fine though..

Beautiful work. For some reason, I couldn't see the images after you finished painting everything. Wish I could have been able to see the finished product. Any chance you would be willing to share the control panel files? I will need to have one printed for my game. You set the bar high for everyone.

Thanks for the information. I'll reach out to him and see if they are available. Do you recall where you bought your buttons? They look really nice. I was thinking they are ordinary HAPP buttons but not sure. Thank you again.

That was a riveting 12 pages. Legendary work sir!

I recall finding one long ago here in US, broken from bill burger. It had a sigma version header with jaleco panel, which bugged the hell out of me for some reason. So I sold it to a friend after fixing the chassis' crap 85 degree caps and clean. Boy do I regret that one. The extra panel height made it look odd in my lineup but I'm wondering now why I cared. Playing P47 Aces in true stereo with Hitachi GMK, glorious memories.

Cheers..glad you enjoyed it,i certainly did!.. taking a break at the moment & busy prepping up my old house for sale..instead of working on my cabs!.
But i treasure this Pony now & really love playing it.
I liked it that much i sourced another one!..but thankfully nothing is broken, just a strip & chassis service & total clean ..and some painting, this one came with a few extra CP'S inc Mahjong panels & also a sigma panel like new, it would have matched your header!, oh and a genuine Jaleco Pony-mk4 manual
Bill Burger!...that name rings a bell from my old Neo-forum days..
Yes, the cp does sit higher & i'll have the other Pony Mk-4 sat beside it soon...these are in there own room together, also i bought quite a few of those brill Taito luxury stools @ 48" the seating is perfect, those were for vewlix's...the 43's i have & your sat a tad too low.
Agreed The Monitor is simply superb on these the Hitachi GMK gives a great crisp picture & this one has Zero burn...love the quality speakers too with its chrome centres..nice warm & base is great
