This is what happens when you buy a Jamma PCB but have no other parts. All the elements to build this came from different sources - friends, ebay, KLOV, Craigslist.

Cabinet and Hardware:

Brand new freshly cut black melamine cabinet
Stripped and powder coated: brackets, coin door, speaker mesh
Internal metal parts - cleaned and painted as needed
Bolts - polished
New T-molding
New Locks
New Vinyl Levelers
New Speakers


Cosmetics:

Control Panel Overlay: Special thanks Charles (Biomech) and David (Mikonos) for providing some great artwork. I started out with a blank control panel. Took the main design and kit decal designs and created my own control panel. I didn't want to cover the awesome graphics so i rearranged some things. Flipped the background, added some flame action around the joystick, added the instructions on the bottom. Then merged it all together so it looked more like a dedicated machine.

Bezel - in decent shape, looking for a better one.

NOS Marquee

NOS Side Art

New 8-way microswitch Joystick

New Buttons

New Monitor Glass

Custom Capcom coin inserts


Electronics:

WG 19" monitor - has light burn but beautiful picture
Restored power supply
Cleaned boards and wire harness
New Power Cord
New Marquee Light Fixture/Bulb
LED's behind marquee and coin bezels

Funny story about this artwork, my 11 yr old boy was test playing this and he said "Dad, that is one ugly woman".

So i said "That's a MAN baby"

You have to admit, with the bikini bottoms and moobs i could see how he was a little confused:

Awesome work!

My pcb doesn't have a daughter board on top, and it's not a bootleg. What revision is yours?
 
It blows my mind hot that cabinet looks!

Beautiful job, I have to say though the artwork was hardly worth the trouble, the guy looks nothing like the in game character, he actually has both arms. Why couldn't ROMSTAR used this???

Very nice, but for some reason this generation of game calls for a red ball top joystick. I'm sure you wrestled with that of course.
