More Classic Gaming Goodness

Well, I haven't been posting much lately due to a crazy schedule and a recently resurrected computer. What little free time that I have had recently has been dedicated to work on some of the coin-op Cabs in my house in an attempt to get them all up and running. Currently I have my Robotron Cab, a nice Nintendo Playchoice 10, both of which are working very nicely, a Ms. Pac-Man that is waiting on a new control panel, a NEO GEO 1-slot MVS that works fine but could use a cap kit (replacement of all capacitors on the monitor board - improves color and sharpness) and a "project" cab that I am working on in an attempt to make it a MAME cab. The NEO GEO currently has Bomerman in it, though I am looking for copies of Metal Slug I - IV. I also recently grabbed a dead Final Fight cab via my vintage game store that I scavenged for parts. Lots to do. Here is a pic of some of the games currently in my basement.  I should have the Ms. Pac-Man CP in later this week. Can't wait to fire that puppy up.

Very cool. I didn't know I knew anyone that had any of these old cabinets.

DK's are a bit pricey these days. Expect to pay $600 for one in good shape and at least $100 for a nice shell. Boards are tough as well. I think DK might be my next goal, once I get all the cab I currently have up and working.
