And So It Begins....

[SterlingRush]

I have finally started my collection in the past couple of weeks, and the final of these just arrived today.

Games as they arrived/picked up:
- 60-in-1 cocktail(from KLOV member Troxel)
- WWF Wrestlefest 4 player
- Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja(needs a lot of work, new plexi to cover monitor, rewire a new marquee light, monitor has burn in, did find money and the original manual inside of it, bought it cheap to throw a 1069-in-1 into it).
- Golden Tee Fore 2005(just arrived today, enjoyed a few rounds already)

Had my first "game scare" today, when the company delivering the GT showed up today, the guy rolled the machine onto his lift gate, went to hit his control, and almost tipped my new machine off of the lift. I swear I almost fainted from a lack of oxygen at that point. Everything turned out good though(granted, this is the second time I've had to take off 2 doors and remove control panels in order to get the machine into the house), there are no stairs to contend with, just straight into the house.

Awesome. Great machine.

60-in-1 cocktail(from KLOV member Troxel)

That looks like an old Make Trax cocktail. I had one that was converted, too.

You should replace the red paper under the glass. Black would look better IMHO, and it'll be easy to do.

Cool stuff man. Although it's sad to see a nice Bad Dudes cab turned into a multi. Be sure the parts get back to someone who needs em.

 

[Grbgemen]

Looking good.

Now you just need to come buy this MKII from me. Will look good next to those. Ha.

Turn that wrestlefest back into TMNT.

I thought Konami 4 player cabs had different coin doors? I'm pretty sure thats a factory cab...

I would probably multi it as well. That way it will match all the other games you have..

The cab's not in that great of shape(granted it's not like that baseball game that was busted in half someone posted), hence the cheapness of the purchase. And if I'm thinking correctly, I shouldn't have to change out anything except the board and power supply since this is a jamma set up, right? Whether this can happen or not, I planned on leaving the cab/controls/marquee/ect... as is, and have the ability to swap the boards out. Basically use it for the games I can play with the current controls, and then sometime later get/make a different cab to fully use the multiboard in. Maybe my thinking is incorrect for this, but that's my hope. I'm not one that wants to destroy something that can be saved, just use it temporarily for other games.

Now you just need to come buy this MKII from me. Will look good next to those. Ha.

That must be the one I've seen on Craig's List recently, if you need a good home to store it, bring it by, I'm looking at buying that multiboard next so I can finally play Solomon's Key on an upright for a while. Maybe half price for local KLOV member? j/k

I think it's factory as well, I could be wrong though.

I think this was originally a Mr. Do, and yea I planned on replacing that red paper. I took it apart Thursday night to wipe down the glass and clean the inside the best I could before taking pics. I still need to get behind the glass of the Wrestlefest to remove the dust, that might be sometime this weekend.

I would probably multi it as well. That way it will match all the other games you have..

I don't have that Tron Cabaret, I was talking with someone a few weeks ago about it, but he didn't want to ship, still deciding what I want to do. I'm not a guy who wants to multi everything and destroy the originals, lol. Just take advantage of what's available for the time being, use it in a simple manner, and then set it back to normal once I obtain another jamma cab.

 

[pookdolie]

Nah. It was Make Trax, converted to Mr. Do!

 

[SterlingRush]

lol, I'll take your word for it. Think I'll visit Hobby Lobby today and see what I can find to replace that red paper.

No way--Wrestlefest is just as much of a classic as TMNT. I'd like to find a Wrestlefest just like that one. Seems like they're always in some 19" cabinet.

 

[SterlingRush]

Yea, it's an older thread, but I have updates

The new setup after this weekend, even a few things hanging on the wall now:

 

[ZEN]

Lookin good sir!!!!, wheres that red tent?

That'll be here in less than two weeks, sitting dead center

I like your taste in games! Wrestlefest is by far the best wrestling game ever! And no, that is not a 4P Konami cab. Most likely factory as a few have already suggested. I have a board (complements of Jow) to swap out in my SFII. I don't have the right 3P-4P harnesses to swap it in my X-Men unfortunately.

I also like that you have Championship Sprint. I'm still looking to get one eventually and it will probably be the only driver I get. I played that game so much as a kid. My older brother would pwn me every time though.

Thank you, I'm pretty happy so far, given that it's only been since late Feb. / early March of this year, that I've been collecting. And now, the final piece for the collection. I am officially to the point that if I get something else, one of the current games must go. Here's what came home today:

Edit: Forgot to mention, it also came with hidden items such as 1 quarter inside, plus the wiring schematics for the PCB & power supply.

 

[OldTymeToys]

Damn, man! When did you get that red tent??!! I could've sworn you just posted in my red tent trade thread a day or so ago that you wanted one! We should've worked something out to trade my tent for your Champ Sprint.

Nice set up- it looks great!

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Doesn't TMNT require four coin chutes? The Wrestlefest couldn't be a TMNT anyway because of that, right?

 

[Ghostnuke]

Wrestlefest and TMNT are two different cabinets. They're close for sure, but different.

lol, yea I think I've mentioned it somewhere, but by the time your thread came around, I was already in the middle of my deal. Picked it up yesterday, it was local and came with a few extra games and working boards. I think I ended up getting Excitebike, SMB, Dr. Mario, Golf, Baseball(2 sets), and two empty boards. I did have a second SMB, but that has gone to another.

Didn't you recently gain a Vigilante Data East cab? I'm not much for the game that's in it, but I am interested in the game I could put in to it.....if I had the cab, I'm just sayin'.....
