Wombat's mini arcade

Post by wombat »

Like most of you "I had a dream" to make my own mini arcade at home. It started with a SEGA Mega Tech fitted with a MVS, once I sold that cab (last year) I participated in a "new astro city" group order (april 08) on a dutch board, Nozomi. It took quite some time before the cabs finally hit ground, here in the Netherlands. Around the end of september 2008 I was able to pick up my order! Unfortuatly the condition was horrible, at least my cabs were.

So long story short: they were fugly, and thus I "refurbished" them.
the result:

The cabs got repainted!

Brand new CP and a instruction strip of Dynamite Deka EX

Also to spice up my mini arcade I added a JSR Pachinco :D

Where did you get the metal coin slot? And did you tri-sync the Naomi cab?

Thanks for the tip; however I'm happy with the cab without side-art.
