I'm looking strongly at filling my second spot with a rail shooter, and am specifically interested in Area51. There are a couple of Maximum Force cabinets near me on facebook. One is $300 and has a monitor that works but is a bit dark, the other is an Area 51/Maximum Force that looks great and has been recapped, but is listed for $1500. I see I can throw Area 51/Max force Combo chips and hard drives in either cabinet. Is this a hard conversion or just swapping eproms/hard drives?
If its an easy conversion I'd lean toward the cheaper cabinet but if its a POA where I risk nuking things I'd lean toward the ready machine (and heavily negotiating it down).
Also for down the line, if I end up with one of these and want to swap in a different game board is there a list of easily compatible games with the monitor/guns? Just curious if games like Lethal Enforcers or Police Trainer would work in there.
