My cabs:

Dedicateds:

TETRIS (formerly a Joust, now a JAMMA ready Tetris conversion). The monitor is super small and needs a cap kit. I got this for free and am not positive what i'm going to do with it yet (leave it as Tetris, gut it completely, or redo the CP and use it as a JAMMA cab w/multi-cart)
Image


NBA Jam (works well, monitor a bit dim and has some burn-in, but not bad when playing)
Image


The Claw (works great, all bells and whistles, but needs a new coin mech, for now it's on free play. Doesn't get much play, but cool to fire up for b-day parties and whatnot)
Image

Win a Rollex!

JAMMA/Candy:

Astro City (currenly only one candy, will be getting 2 more when the addition is done)
Image
Image


The Customs:

Standup Cab (in the garage, currently use it for DC/SAT lightgun games)
Image


Bartop / Laptop JAMMA Cab (weighs 37lbs w/supergun, monitor, and pcb - can sit on tabletop or on a lap. Currently playing Ibara)
Image


Custom Candy Style:

Damn Mike. Nice.

Does your astro have seimitsu buttons on one side and sanwa on the other?

The next project I want to do (barring a candy cab falling from the sky in the midwest, or me risking a group buy) is building something like your "custom candy style" setup.

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

Everything is Sanwa on both the Astro and the Customs - though i'm starting to really like the feel of Seimitsu LS-40's and am considering swapping out at least a few Sanwa sticks.

On the Astro - i've put about 90 hours on the P1 side and probably 10 hours on the P2 side, so when I upgraded to translucent buttons and balltop, I just did the one side to start since the others, while not gorgeous, are practically new and have plenty of life in them.

If you have any questions on yr custom, for sure hit me up!
