Just picked up a MB Widebody and had a great surprise with it!

This will be moved over to the Restoration Section when I finish it up!
 
that is awesome ... nice score! ... or should I say nice double score ... :) .... I assume the seller knew nothing about the other game ... correct?
 
I always thought the "2 Player Feature" Marquee was only seen in the conversion kits. Learn something new everyday. Im not a big Popeye fan but I must say that rocks. Do you have to switch them manually or is there a switch?
 
and its effing clean...

is it switchable via buttons up front or do you have to plug and unplug wires?

eitherweay, spare working boardset= good


and again, damn clean too

This popped up on CL and met one hell of a collector that I didn't know existed out here. Originally from IL.

I bought this sight unseen. He delivered it over 60 miles to the house. He knew exactly what it was, just very hard to tell what he was describing on the phone/in the ad.

I opened up the back, beautiful work in whoever put this together. Both Power Supplies were recently capped, good wiring job overall! Amazing in my mind.

It is wired to only change 2 connectors, the audio and video connector. I think I will extend the cables and have it accessable through the coin door.

I never saw (or heard) of this before. Lucky find for me! :)
 
No. Only player one with this. Really interesting on the wiring. Impressive.

Since MB only uses a 2 way, the 2P is still that way.
 
I want to do something similar to mine.

Would you mind taking detailed photos of how it was done?

Very nice score!

My Mario WB has Popeye too. But I don't have it in its own cage with harness. I just swap the boards.

Since you need to switch the audio and video connections to change games in your cab, do you have to power off when switching games? If not, that means both boards are always powered on, right?
 
congrats nice score,clean Mario Bros. just put some white t-molding on it and your good
 
This one is going 100% restore. The pic was after I took off the tmolding.

Same as the Tapper - Powdercoating, sand/refinish, new art work, etc...

Lucky all the art has been reproduced for this one! :)
 
I cannot wait to see your nintendo row with all of these games on it. Do you even have enough room to fit them all in a row? *L*

Honestly, no. I have expanded my gameroom for a few more. Just not taking down the wall though.

Maybe I should call it a MultiRow Nintendo Row? ;)
