Howdy folks. Just wondering if anyone else has a Jaleco Pony Mark II 28, and wouldn't mind taking a few pictures for me. I can't for the life of me figure out how to hold the hood up on the thing to save my life. I'm probably an idiot, but it's possible a part is missing as well. The machine...

Wow. I own the exact same cabinet. I've done some pretty serious work to mine, but it's mostly been mechanical, not cosmetic. I am in the same boat. Not really sure what to do about the control panel. It looks pretty much identical to yours. The dust washer on the original joystick must've...

Man, that side art is the most early 90's thing I've seen in a while. It's really awesome. I never saw one of those in an arcade back in the day, it's a strange beast.

Are the Raiden Fighters 2 cart and motherboard still available? Would you do $130 for the pair shipped together?

GAH! Two days in a row I've forgotten to bring my CP in to work to scan. Guess it'll have to wait until Monday. Excited to see how yours turns out roburt! I will probably head down that same road soon enough. I actually want to get it in illustrator and see if I have any skill left and can...

I think the first time I did it I used masking tape and a sharpie to label each wire. I was so paranoid about hooking things up wrong. If you have the parts, take the time to replace any bad quick disconnects while you're at it. It'll make your life a lot easier in the future. Just make sure...

Update City Hey kids. Finally coming to the home stretch of a really LONG 2 weeks at work, including working about 40 hours of overtime last weekend, and can get back to this little project. Pulled apart one of the control panels, and harvested all the bolts I need to take to ACE to get new...

Hey guys, I've been tinkering lately with a Zaxxon Cocktail that I picked up a week or two ago. It currently has a dead monitor, a Nanao MC-2000S to be precise. I'm not super familiar with serious monitor repair, as this is only my 3rd machine. I'm comfortable pulling a monitor out and...

Two quick questions as I continue to really get a clearer view of what shape the cabinet is in. 1. Anyone have spray paint recommendations? There's a pretty decent amount of rust on the control panel and a few internal parts that I'm pulling off, so I want to strip them down and paint them...

And more pics Here's the rest.

Pictures Here's some general pics of the project at hand. Let me know if there's anything you want me to try and take a closer look at.

I could see the sticker on the monitor, but it was in such a crazy place I could't read it. Then I looked down in the cabinet and saw there were three extra stickers just collecting dust. How sweet! Apparently it's a Nanao MC-2000-S.

Hey guys. Been reading the forums and posting very sparingly over the past year or so. I have two fully operational cabinets currently, a Capcom CPS2 generic JAMMA cabinet, and a 4 slot Neo Geo. Last night I added picked up #3! It's a Zaxxon cocktail cabinet. From my limited poking around...

There was supposedly an auction in Itasca yesterday according to the Craigslist post below. Did anyone go? Was there anything good. Very curious. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/atq/2088102616.html

Looks pretty clean. Could easily be converted to NBA JAM. Lake in the Hills. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/vgm/2068931970.html
