Best/easiest/cheapest way to make my Joust a Joust again?

I have a Joust cab that's been converted to a Robocop and Robocop has gotten pretty boring and hasn't gotten much play, it's got a LCD and a switcher in it along with jamma wiring. It still has the old power brick in the bottom though.

Any decent multi boards have joust? I imagine it would get pretty expensive to make it all original again seeing as so much is missing. I plan on putting a CRT back in it eventually. I'll sell the Robocop stuff to help fund it.
 
if you have a real joust, might as well do it right the first time and go with JROK.
19-1 is ok but the emulation isn't very good and you'll find it has some lag which makes the player feel "skittish"
When you go back to CRT, JROK will look perfect on it. 19-1 doesn't fit well on some monitors, you'll get blank space around the edges, etc.

charles just sprinkle some fairy dust on it and wish it back to an original joust while clicking your heels together...:rolleyes:;)
 
I was in a similar boat years ago... I had a Joust that was converted to Vigilante. I was collecting parts to convert it back to Joust... then the jrok board came out, and I was up and running in a matter of days. :) I definitely recommend going that route, since your cabinet is already JAMMA.

Saw this on CL a couple days ago, though I know its not quite within driving distance ;) ...
