What you get for 30$ when you buy a crap Street Fighter 2 off Craigslist in Dallas

This guy had three games up. Also had Vigilante (wanted 100$? No.) and Sky Soldiers, a SHMUP. Deal was to buy the Vigilante take the other two for free. I have no interest in the other two, no space or otherwise. He's still going to be offering those two for 100$ as far as I know. I offered to come pick up the Street Fighter 2, he requested 30$. Knowing the monitor wasn't coming on and that he said boards were working and you could hear it, I said...Uh..okay!

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/vgm/2531780203.html if anyone's still interested in the other two and local to Dallas.

Hauled it back to the house, got to looking at the cabinet...oh, that's nice. 40% of the front panel that the coin door sits in....replaced with plywood. Entire cabinet had been heavily heavily painted over with black paint. Yay. Control panel fell out on the way home, and so did the bezel glass. =| Speaking of the bezel. It's...Double Dragon? What IS this abomination!!! Okay, well, whatever. Let's see how bad it is.

Plug it in. Monitor makes *no sound at all*. Turned it off. Tried discharging it just to see if there was anything there, nothing. No spark, no noise. All fuses look okay. I'm not a monitors person, I dunno squat about how to test it, I just assume it's not getting power for some reason. Turn machine back on. No sound...well crap? Hit the coin mech, get the coin-up sound, hit P1 start, hear it go to character select, joysticks and buttons are working. Game's playing blind.

Sitting here thinking to myself.... "Hey, you've already got a CPS2 cab. It can't be THAT hard to get this thing mounted and just move over the JAMMA and kick harness." Decided to strip it bare and put everything in my other cab to save space. This one looks like crap anyways. Sitting out in a non-temp controlled shed in Texas weather didn't do it any favors.

So here's what I've got:

Working board.

PSU + JAMMA harness + back door switch + Coin counter all still wired together.

cabinet power harness+power cord with...things I don't really know anything about.

ISO transformer

Double Dragon cardboard bezel (LOL)

Haxxored control panel for a Taito cab that is NOT the original CP, crappy joysticks and
buttons.

Glass bezel pane

G09 monitor that may function in some fashion if someone with half a brain actually gets to work on it. The flyback looks like it's cracked on the side? Screen has REALLY bad burn, looks like it might be Pole Position? What the hell?

SF2 CE Marquee in pretty dang good condition. A few bare spots on the right side, but not bad at all, IMO!

Speaker and flourescent assembly, working.

So anyways, pictures away!

More pictures. If anyone can explain the power parts, would be much appreciated. I know the black knobby thing is fuse holders..that's pretty self explanatory, but the many-holed thing all the wires connect into? Eh?

Didn't want what? I totally wanted the SF2 boards. I started with a CPS2 system in march, have bought a bunch of boards for it, and this was a damn good opportunity to grab a boardset and some extra parts for a lot cheaper than I can get them otherwise. Those boards are going in the CPS2 cabinet alongisde the CPS2 system if I can figure a way to easily move over the harnesses and the power supplies are compatible and all that. It's gonna get played, for sure.

If I can't get it working, then the boards will be waiting for me to get a better job and and actual house so I can fit more machines.. :(

Yeah, and I'm a total dumbass, I didn't take a picture of the whole thing before I started taking it apart. But like I said...entire thing was painted black, not much to look at there. Standard generic Taito cabinet. Still kinda LOL how it was a Double Dragon at some point, yet has Pole Position burn.

So basically you destroyed a Taito cabinet because someone had painted it black and you don't know how to work on monitors. I don't get your point, the guy sold it to you for $30, you ought to buy him a christmas card instead you're online insinuating he ripped you off. What am I missing here.
 
DD cabs came with K7000 monitors and this was a replacement. G07's are more valuable and rare. If they don't work... I'm sure someone would still want it. When working they are really great monitors.

That black brick is a power distribution block. All of the left sides connect and all of the right sides connect.
 
SHould know better than to have even wasted the time to type that.

For the record, since just about everyone seems to be missing this:

I'm not disappointed with the purchase, at ALL.
