So my local arcade (Pinball Petes) has had this Raiden 2 machine for like 3 years and I never played it till like two weeks ago... needless to say I LOVED IT! Whats not to love? GIANT monitor, awseome powerups and GREAT graphics.
Long story short I was cruising an online auction on Thursday and what comes up for bid????
A Raiden 2 cab! Couldnt beleive my luck! In my life there are NO COINCIDENCES!
I had been bummed out all week that I lost out on not 1 but 2 separate Operation Wolf machines in less than 3 days!
Bidding started at 5.00 and ended with me getting the winning bid of a whopping $101.06
It was located less than an hour away so the hardest part about shipping was waiting till I had a day off to go get it!
So long story short, shes no beauty queen... but a few minor fixs on her and shes good as new.
Needs some sideart, bezel, a volume pot on the board, marquee light, new CPO and Im in business!

Your off to an awesome start, here. I too have a cornorcut dynamo cab. for my Raiden stuff. As much as I LOVE Raiden2..please dont stop there. Raiden DX, Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet are all plug and play with what you have there....

Yeah I was thinkin bout picking up a switcher (but have not heard good things about them) and running a few Raidens in this cab because its REAL solid and the monitor is SO SWEET!
 
I have had a Raiden for about 7 years. Its a great shooter and its good for taking out work agression. I like Raiden 2 better (much better graphics, I love how shot down aircraft crash onto things) but I have been unable to find a PCB for it. Regular Raiden is great, though too.
