Hi All,

For Christmas my wife purchased my favorite side scrolling beat em up. (Well she had a friend do the purchasing for us so it was a surprise for me!)

Turns out, what our friend got for me was a modded CPS2 version of the Final Fight Anniversary Edition. Most likely from a scammer on ebay :p

I got a supergun to test and it works like a charm.

Luckily I was able to find a Final Fight cab for $100 from a local guy trying to unload. (I also grabbed X-men children of the atom and Sega Spiderman '91, both in working condition!)

As you can see from the picture above I'm missing a monitor.

Is this a standard size? Can I just measure it and find out if it's a 19"?

The Jamma harness is intact and connected to all of the buttons.

I believe the power supply is still there but I'm not entirely sure. I'm also a little unsure on which way my jamma harness plugs in and I don't want to fry my board the first time I go to plug it up.

Looks like the speaker and marquee light are still there, so other than a monitor I'd just have to replace the bezel, marquee and other various art.

I've been searching for monitors, most posts here I see are for a chassis, which pardon my complete newness on this, but my understanding is that is just the electrical component and not the actual tube.


I've found a few online like this post on EBAY:
19" Wells Gardner 4600 later series Complete Working Arcade Monitor 4615 AW

Would this be essentially a plug and play fix? Seems a little pricey at $350, but I'll certainly pay that if its my best and/or only option.

I figure I will tackle the issue of a monitor first since that'll make the cab immediately playable.

I'd also like to figure out a way to work in third player, without too much of a visible change to the cab. There's not really room for a full third player set up, so I was thinking maybe I could do an undamned USB decoder and have third player plug in a control. Seems the decoders are out of stock all over the place so I'm not sure if that's a realistic path either.

Would love to hear any and all comments, suggestions etc.

Thanks for reading!
