I just got a nintendo cab as part of a trade deal. Its actually nice, its looks to have been relaminated with some stiff melamine or something flat/semi black, white t-moulding.

only thing in there is monitor mounts, iso and misc stuff i havent dug through yet. It has some sweet casters on it too.

the tag on the back says "vs exitebike" i wish it was all there, i love excitebike..


i guess the story goes it was redone and then mamed, then the guy realized that a ninty cp wouldnt hold all the mame krap controls he wanted, so it got regutted.

What do you think i should do with it? this is nice enough to rebuilt or build something with, this is not dumpster material imho.

i gotta wonder wty the hell the coin door hole is so huge, but doesent look like its homecut.

im thinking paint it red, dk art, multiboard.. what do you think?

with it being black you could make it a playchoice. then you could play exitebike plus 9 other games. post a pic of the coin door hole. i have a spare dk cab coin door here if you need one.

+1 on converting it to a Playchoice 10 :)

Would be a cheap/easy conversion since it's already black and in good shape
 
yeah and thier email is bad, me and somebody else have already posted "re: " posts with no response..

hmm... i always wanted a pc10.. i guess i need to start schooling myself huh? i have a couple pc10 games but thats about it for spare ninty parts lol

-pc10 pcb and games
-timer?
- harness? (it is like other nintendo stuff or is it pc10 specific?)
- power supply(can a switcher be used?)
- audio amplifier?

heh i think its marked marquee screws or something, funny, cause i dont have the marquee trim..

wow the flash really makes the laminate look like ass, its not like that in real life. if i was to built this p after i put on the art id probhaly give it a bath in furniture polish or something else to shine it up a little bit.

After you clean your fingernails.... consider making it a single-monitor punch out? Might be kinda of funky. It sorta already looks the part, but would just be Punch Out's squatty brother instead.
 
i work my ass off for a living man, if i cleaned my fingernails every day i would literally spend over an hour doing it and they still look like shit :D

I also thought about punchout, i dont know how i would pull it off though because theyre dual monitor right?
 
I would definitely take that key off your hands. Then I can see fir I can slavage the locks on my Red Tent before putting new locks on it.

LOL...mechanic much? ;)

PO is a two monitor but the top monitor really is only for scoring....if you don't care about scores you can still play the game. The other thing that probably wouldn't work is the marquee size would require the top portion of the cab to be modified unless you had a special larger adapter for the PO marquee.

Probably best to make it a VS Excitebike and do some custom art.

You could just put a TV set on top of the cab. :D
