Let's see whos on their game tonight.
Please help ID this as I'm wondering if it's worth pickup up at all. They want to dump two dead machines. One of them I have no idea on what it was.

As for what the cabinet was originally, assuming it was once a dedicated at all I dunno but the board edge does look like a Heavy Barrel so if it is then the cab will have rotary joysticks.
 
Nice one... yeah it's been on CL but I was just curious. I was probably going to look at it and see what's up with it. It's obvliosly now JAMMA now.

Their other cab interests me.
 
I checked out their stuff today. I was intent on picking up their DD so that I could ready a 4th Taito JAMMA cab for CAX but it was sadly just too far gnoe.

Both machines are totally dead. The mysterious one was a Double Dragon they had listed for $250 on CL as dead. I don't think anyone else emailed them. Fishing around I found out that they were really looking to completely get rid of both of them.

The Double Dragon was falling apart completely and the bottom was so far worn that it wasn't worth saving. No feet or wheels left on this cab. Most of the corners were busted off and the drawer was falling appart and mostly stuck.

he basically let me have the DD for free. I stripped it of the CP, Monitor w/frame, PCB, glass and bezel. (no marquee)

I didn't trust the harness or any of the electronics.

The PCB tested only coming up with the screen completely yellow on my fully working DD cab at home. I can shelve it to look at much later on.

A previous owner had sealed the CPO with acrylic so it looked in decent shape and only some odd buttons and a missing dust cab replaced with one from Happ.

onto the Heavy Barrel

it's in the wrong cab and obviously converted to JAMMA. It's worth looking at as they'll take almost anything for this cab for you local boys. The monitor is a K4900 that looks like it has little or no burn... (AFAIK cause it was dark and under tinted glass) The PCB I bet works also. I bet they'd sell this cab for $50 which is a decent deal if anyone wants to try to save, part or restore this machine.

It comes up completely dead. I believe it's a power issue but didn't spend any time on it looking into it.
