Hi,
I am new here and just bot 4 cabinets to play and learn about arcade games.
I have worked on cars, motorcyles, and recently a couple of pinballs.
I got a beat up Ms Pacman that I want to convert to 60 in 1. I ordered it Sunday from Nixs at Jamma Parts and got it yesterday...literally plug and play! After researching and thinking I would need a harness adapter and additional aux power I am really happy with this.
My wife loves it...the Ms Pacman is "her" cabinet and she did not fully understand what the 60 in 1 meant.
Easy menu to select games, etc.
It has a crappy control panel. Joystick is sluggish, player 1 button not working (but p2 is) and want to install p1, p2 buttons and maybe figure out a track ball.
The control panel is somehow "permanently" bolted on (maybe locktight or super glue?)- tonights project is to figure out how to get it open and look at the existing wiring.
The volume is REALLY loud - I can't seem to find a volume control on the cabinet - ideas?
Also, I am trying to figure out if I should get the elf 309 or the 450 gamebox...anyone have any pros/cons of each assuming price difference is not an issue?
I will be converting a Final Blow - cabinet is in excellent shape - no one of my "regulars" really likes the game. The control panel has 2 joy sticks and 3 player buttons for each.
I want to keep it fairly stock - do I need to add 3 more player buttons for each and maybe a track ball? Can I get a decent used replacement control panel?
PS - where should I post these type of questions?
Thanks,
