LAI Lowboy Clean Up


Recommended Posts

Had these cabs for a while now, they were both working when I picked them up but they were in need of a rewire and clean up.

With the blue cab I was hoping to strip the paint and bring back the woodgrain. Paint came off easily with just a steel scraper but unfortunately the veener was ruined as it had been prepped for the last paint job wit an orbital sander WTF! So a few coats of black, a new control panel, thanks @redferatu and and overlay from @MamePatrol. It has Tekken 3 PCB and and a multi that I use mainly for Wonderboy and Ghost and Goblins.

 

The woodgrain cab was just a clean and rewire with new CP and CPO as well. Its got Gyruss and Time Pilot PCBs in it and I did put in a Monoroe joystick initially but that didn't last long. I had never used a Monroe before and just couldn't get used to it, so in went a trusty MCA.

What do you do to set up two pcbs in one machine to control them?

[MENTION=535]Love dem low boys.

Great work on bringing those old lowboys back to life!

Would like a wall of lowboys in the games room one day

I did look at some Jamma switchers but the $$ weren’t worth it IMO. The boards stay in the cab and I just manually switch the connector, it helps that the lowboys internals are easy to access.

Looks great, I'm still hunting for a couple of LAI cabs. I remember playing a woodgrain one at the fish and chip shop......

 

It's probably collectind dust somewhere and still smells like fish n chips, just waiting for you to sniff it out fella.

Very nice restos. Got to love that Woodgrain.

Just having a hard time finding the Woodgrain the LAI yellow and orange striped control panel.

That’s a good pickup for $100 and you can just get the control panel overlay reproduced.
