I just picked this up from a local klover, the machine is in really good shape cosmetically but it does need some parts and im not so sure where to get them maybe some one can help me out. The wiring has been completely stripped out but that's not a big problem for me.

I will be posting a ton of pictures thought the restoration and hope to have it completed within 6-12 months. hope you guys like it. Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!
 
I got an unknown 27 inch monitor but the chassis was a little wobly so I decided to put a spare WG D9200 I just recapped in it. Aside the missing asthetic parts I don't think this will take me too long to get playing.

On a side note weren't these equipt with 29 inch monitors?
 
These are the missing parts i need...

The speaker mesh grills and the green banner above the speakers.

Wow, this is quite the project, good luck! I'm sure it will be cool once all together, I've neer seen one of these, so I'm curious.
 
Thanks guys, i realize that it wont likely be cheap since these import machines are hard to come by but its a damn shame to let it go to waste! im still not sure what i want to do with it once its restored, maybe a CPS2 cab or perhaps a naomi cab since i already have everything laying around for a naomi. not sure yet.
 
ok so I found one of the little metal brackets that bolt down to hold the instruction space info. also found the yen sticker but its pretty messed up! :(

Also found these but not sure what to do with them or where they go.... or if they even go to this cab

Almost every part can be bought new, but since most suppliers happen to be in Europe and Japan you'll be paying a lot of shipping. A lot of parts are interchangeably between the different Sega candy-cabs. The CP panel is the same in most of the Sega cabs, like the Blast, New Astro and Naomi Universal/NetCity/New Net City.

This is a very good site with loads of spares and good pictures. Do a bit of searching here and you'll know what's available (UK based): http://www.tms-designs.com/theshed/default.asp?maincat=-99
