What beautiful balls.

I'd take the chance and say that they look nicer than Steve's!

I dunno... I've heard good things about Steve's balls.

Ehh, hmm.

Well my balls are available for inspection should anyone want to see how they look and feel in the hands. I now have colour matching things to cover the shaft as well, which is nice

Do you have any blue balls for us to inspect?

I stuck the Mortal Kombat 2 pcb i have into the cab i got off Logie the other day.. works perfect, screen is good! was worried it might have been damaged in the transport. Here is a quick vid i did of my "Kitchen"

Tetris is off because the chassis needs a service, the colours are all off on it.

The cab beside the MK2 ive decided now to turn it into a 4 Player Teenage Hero Turtles.

Ill get another small cab in the new year and do it up as a Bubble Bobble.

The plan is to get a new kitchen etc in the new year and that is going to be a lounge area.

Also have to figure out the 1943 pcb, flip the monitor, play with the colours. Sound is non existant too.

Cant find the pic of it.

Looks great Keith, do you keep them all on or power them up one by one or have some fancy surge resistant power?

I had a fancy setup with remote control power switches a while back but my kid dropped the remote and smashed it. So at the minute I just have bog standard power extensions. 3 of them. When I get the kitchen done up I'll buy some remote control ones again.

I'm thinking about maybe getting a new candy for Capcom fighting games

The main issue is picking one that will fit the space and also go with the other two cosmetically. So that pretty much rules out most modern 29 inch ones.

Unfortunately the ones that would fit and look the part are annoyingly expensive and rare.

What do you guys think? Maybe an Aero City? Not exactly the easiest thing to find easier but at least still not as bad as some of the other stuff I've been looking at :eek:

Oh I have one of those
Wait no, I have two - I have the other one in a warehouse in work that needs putting back together. The CRT I think needs a little TLC, but other than that its grand

Was thinking about it alright! but it's far too big would look out of place beside the other two. Need something which has a 25 inch monitor max really.

They're interesting cabs alright, but the screen is just too damn small on them. Wouldn't want anything smaller than 25 really.

Check this out. Coolest bartop I've ever seen.

Would be great if he finished it off by getting the Astro CP overlay.

Looks like hes selling them too. The Astros are $900.

He said he'll take commissions and may put in a CRT if you really want one (and he can locate one)

Ah yes but time, effort and cost. Its 750 euro. So if the guy spends a week on one, plus parts, plus profit.

Its one of those things where the effort, cost and time might not be worth the sum of parts - but feck, they're damn pretty!

Give me the full size cab anyday for not much more. Bartops are gimmicks, the idea of playing a retro game designed to be played on a **** off CRT on a tiny cabinet with an LCD will quickley wear off when you look over at your proper cabinet all lonely in the corner.

These are really aimed at folks without space or permission to have a full size cab. Or course a full sized cab is preferred but unfortunately its not an option for a lot of people.

$900 is a lot to pay though.

Ah I know that, I meant that comment about people with actual cabs as o1s1n is sounding tempted there.
