Hello, new to the boards but have posted in the topic forums and bought stuff from the for sale page. I had a friend that bought a WWF cabinet a few years ago and always talked about making a jamma multi cab. However he never got around to doing it. So I fugired Id take a shot at making one. However I'm a believer in keeping things original as possible.

I have built R/C aircraft from age 8. Built many movie props including R/C 1:1 R2-D2 and recently restored a 1981 Delorean. I'm married with no kids and in the process of buying a home. Which is where the arcade comes into play. Goal is to have 3-4 late 80's arcade games. Currently have non-working Operation Wolf and a TMNT pcb along with buttons, joysticks and jamma witting harness.

I plan on starting a build log on the tmnt cabinet in the coming months when I round up all the parts.
 
Not bad, trying to find a 25in arcade monitor for a tmnt build. So far I have had no luck.
 
not to thread jack but im in the quad cities also im looking for a 29" monitor and chassis 27" viewable just thought i would ask
 
I'm a collector of over 10 years that is slowly getting out of the hobby that's only 25 miles away from you. I have plenty of monitors in the 19 inch size and also can do a lot of repairs so keep me in mind if you need anything.
 
Greetings from Bettendorf! I've been a collector for 15 years now. Built several jamma cabs, capped many-o-monitor, done board repair too. Have about 10 machines in the house now.
 
That's great that there is a few people around here. Do you guys know if Cox's Music Davenport ever sell their old games off? They have been the main arcade supplier in the quad cities for many years. The two movie theaters have their machines in them.

If any of you local guys have a 25in monitor that would be great. I did find a guy in LeClair with a T2 shooter for sale but I was not quick enough to buy it :-(. I just wanted the monitor from the cab.
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They never take care of their games anyways.
 
Welcome... I lived in Bettendorf for ~8 years (graduated HS there in '01). I've still got friends there, but haven't been back in a few years. I got my first couple arcade games there though... the first was a Joust converted to Vigilante, that a friend gave me for helping him move. The second was an Ikari Warriors 2, that I picked up from a warehouse in Des Moines.

All I have is a Sony Trinatron tube and chassis. My tube CRT has a chip in the plug hole.
