So I got this dedicated MVS cab from the Fresno Fire Sale and finally got around to working on it. Overall, it's in decent condition. And for once, there's nothing hacked up in the internal wiring.
These MVS machines were in every single arcade (and still some locations today) when I was a kid. I knew I had to have one someday and I just love the versatility of the cabinet and the MVS library. I've grown my cartridge collection a bit, but thinking of eventually throwing a 150-1 in here as well with some other games that aren't in the 150-1 list (ex. Windjammers).
Notes:
- Nice, working 25" WG K7191
- Working 4-slot board. Though, it has issues playing certain games like Metal Slug, Metal Slug 4 and Samurai Shodown IV. It plays all my other games just fine.
- Complete HAPP coin door and mechs. Nasty lock bar holes.
- Cabinet is clean inside, but caked with dust.
- No back panels. Need to cut and paint MDF.
- Lots of CP rust. No CPO or memory card/headphone jacks sticker. Needs full restore.
- Side art damage. I know there's a guy on Neo-Geo.com that sells repro diecut vinyl, but I despise that forum and it's lame rules. LOL.
- Needs light fixture as I'm taking the original light fixture out because I don't want to pay an arm and leg for replacement "bulbs"
Got some work to do!
