I was driving to work and had to lock up my brakes (and spill my coffee) when I saw this.

Needless to say its now in my garage. Its missing the main controls but has the flip up LED screen still attached. From what I can see the main power cord is cut but that seems to be it. Any ideas what I can do with this? The spot where the joysticks go looks slightly different from my KI machine so I'm not sure what else I can put in here.
 
Is fixing it as a Fore! or Complete to obvious an answer?

Might be expensive to piece it back together depending on whats missing, but the cab looks nice. My Fore! is my most played game by far.
 
I'm guessing by the missing bill validator and aftermarket CP, this was a MAME project that never got finished. Am I right?

Already been asked... how complete is it?
 
Spot where the joysticks go is different, because it uses a trackball.

Hell if the boards are there and complete/working you don't need to spend much to get yourself a trackball and clean it up and have a working machine.
 
Picture this...


Some collector picks himself up a project Golden Tee 2003. He gets it home and pulls it out of his truck putting it on the curb and goes to park his truck with the control panel in the passenger seat. Just as he goes around the corner the neighborhood douchebag kid comes by and pushes it over "for fun" and scrams. Just about then Nology pulls up ... sees what he thinks is a free find and loads up and jets... just about the time the owner comes out of his house with the dolly from his garage looking for the GT Fore only to find... nothing!

:D

I agree that it looks like aMame gone wrong. Look, they were already halfway there with that hideous fucking control panel. Good god.


It's getting bad, guys. They're starting to even fuck over the GOLDEN TEES.
 
So inside I found a power supply, board and HD. Theres a rolled up telephone cord or maybe cat5 cord that was cut.
 
Oh and the monitor is there also. I'm not used to these newer machines at all. My KI cab has an old school power supply and this one has a power supply that looks like it came out of my dell. Can I plug right into that to see if she fires up?
 
Plugged the power suppply in and hit the switch... All the lights light up, hard drive started spinning, LED lights on top lit up and before you know it you heard the sounds of the game. Only problem now is that the monitor doesn't work. Doesn't even flicker when turned on. On the plus side I found the original CD in the cab.

Dude... excellent find. The monitor likely just needs to be rebuilt... perhaps a bad fly... nice.

I paid $300 for a cab in similar condition!
 
Wow! That's sweeeet! As far as I know, the are no versions of GT beyond 2K that will run in mame, if there are, I want them! So it's really worth the effort to get that thing working!
 
the power supply powered the game board/drive/leds only..

if you powered just that with a pc cord, the monitor wont work because it wont have power.

the monitor runs off of 110vac, usually from a isolation transformer in the bottom of the cabinet. SOme monitors dont need one.

In either event, you need to power the machine using the power cord in the back of the cabinet and try again ( splice or replace it because it was cit right?

. You might just get real lucky here.. im already super jealous.. i cant believe somebody just threw that out!!!!

Ya know I never thought of that. Maybe I'll head to the hardware store and pick up a cord to wire in. Looks like it was cut on the back of the machine and also on the inside. Any idea what I would need for the inside? The game is up at my camp and I completely forgot to get a pic of the inside incase of something like this.
