lai 4 player lowboy


Recommended Posts

starting a thread on this cabinet i got today

 

it is all complete minus the chassis and CP parts. Ive added a tv tube and will source out a chassis from joey shortly.

 

the overlay im going to remove and powdercoat as it is starting to come up on the edges. Was going to install overlay but that is nearly as much as the powercoater

 

will add new square start buttons and probably add zippies for now

 

also this cabinet bar a few op drill holes and some damage from someone trying to break in is near minty

 

this will be good as its a project cab worth keeping

stripped the old overlay and after a good tip from a member went and got some "chalkboard vinyl". $25 cut and installed

 

probably easy my self but the girl was hot as and she knew what she was doing with it

yeah might do

 

i was keen on a cab of gibos that had a dying 25 inch tube. just so happened that cab wasnt in the shed at the time and this one was there and too good to pass up.

 

Was just good timing the week before the neighbour chucked out a 25 inch TV so a quick test and rip out of the tube it fitted snug as a bug

 

im stocked as its a nice compact sized cab and bonus the tube is a rare find these days

yeah i probably was had a wallet full for once

 

i didnt see it there funny enough. but i got the better of the 2. You showed me that one i was keen straight away as it was a 4 player

 

i suspect the other cab would of been to fat for my plans anyways

edit:

 

added a power plug and plugged here in all powers up and takes credits. marquee light wasnt working so removed that and had a look and turns out the starter is completly shot so is the tube

 

ripped out all that and will replace it with a kmart $9 automotive fluro (alot easier to work with)

 

so far so good. im away next week so will have to wait for the chassis

progress at last. Had a problem with colours but all worked out in the end

 

p2 and p3 will be linked with a molex plug to seperate the extra harness between them

 

this way there is more room for 2 player only games

dam the CP wiring is a mission on its own

 

just made up some harness for Player 1-4. This machine is going to be running a 1066 so P3+4 are connected via a jamma connector.

 

I had a box of old wiring odds and sods from old machines. Luckily had just the right molexed leads in there to make some to suit the ones in the machine. Now just need some spade terminals and the wiring begins. There is around 60 or more odd spade connections so for will order one of these to take the hardpart out of daisy chaining the commons at least (or at least 90% of them)

tube is being delivered to joey on tuesday and then i will have to collect it back if i can catch him

 

getting there slowly. Alot of $$ going into this cab but at the end of the day to me its worth it all
