I have come to the conclusion that the EGRET II is My favorite

Had a few pics sent on.

Apparently the monitor is perfect, no screen burn. Has a couple of the usual dings but overall, cosmetically it looks really nice.

I kind of want a 2L12B CP though. Might let that be the deciding factor.

You don't have a 2p 12b at all do you?
Would really open your options if you got one!

I think the control panel might be a bit small for 2p12b though? couldent imagine it being comfortable with two players.

I was going to say 'no I don't' but then remembered that the Pony actually has a 2L12B CP!

But it's my dedicated Shmup machine and that won't be changing any time soon.

It's about time I got a setup that allowed for playing Capcom fighters. I still have a few left that have never really been used. It'd be absolutely shocking to have three cabs and none of them able to play SF2!

You can definitely get them alright. When SF2 first came out in Japan, it was played on cabs exactly like this. Some of the earliest SF2 panels I've seen fit the Aero

Oh ya, I've seen that panel come up a few times. Would love an aero table someday though.

I really wanted an Aero Table a couple of years ago and almost bought one. However the lads on AO were saying it's more of a novelty item than anything as that due to the monitor curve, it's kind of difficult to see the top part of the screen.

It's a shame as they really are gorgeous.

That they are, think I could deal with the monitor curve lol. They really are beautiful and I'am not a big fan of cocktails in general but the aero looks great. Demand a high price too!

o1s1n

It's one of those things where it demands a high price, but even if you have the cash that doesn't mean you can get one. They really are incredibly rare. They make things like the Capcom Cute and The SNK SC19 look common as muck

The Last Bandit

Are they the only small candys (candies ??), wouldn't mind one but would need a 19/20" screen.

True, although there's been a load of cute's around lately, wasent there also some namco consolette's in granny's load? I remember considering one of those a few years back. They were on Ronnie's website for 595 lol, wouldent get a look in for that now!

I love that panel.
I'd almost get A NOS one framed

o1s1n

The few mini ones I'd know of;

Capcom Cute
SNK SC19
SNK Candy 18
Jaleco Pony Mark II 19
Capcom Status 18

The only 'cheap' one out of the lot there is the SNK Candy 18. I've seen them for sale around the 600 mark I think it was. There was a lad a while ago on AO selling two of them together for about a grand.

The rest of them will all cost you an arm and a leg! (if you can find one that is)

Consolettes come in 26 and 18 inch monitor varieties. I think the Granny lot were 26. The one Ronnie was selling recently was 26 too.

I'd say the 18 inch ones would go for a good bit more.

It's gorgeous alright isn't it? That gouger Arcadetower on ebay has one. Kind of considering just buying that Aero anyway and picking the CP up separately if needs be.

Ronnie has another Aero with one of those SF2 panels. Going to send me photos on Monday.

Looks like I may be completing the holy trinity :eek:

Awesome sauce

I've been looking for those 'Granny's arcade' photos but it seems they've been taken down

A couple of websites have some of the images cached, but there's only a small number of them. This is the only one I could find with the SF2 panel.

Panel itself looks pretty okay, rest of the CP looks a bit battered though. We shall see on Monday. Maybe he can take it off and lash it onto another cab.

Argh, thanks for pointing that out! Bloody inbox size for regular users on boards is far too small. Would almost make you want to become a subscriber...almost :pac:

So before and after pics for my CP attached.

Took a few months, was trying to get my dad involved as he is retired and bored.
Also learned a lot, many a pitfall for stupidy.

Old CP didnt have correctly aligned holes for 6 button, so got a new piece of metal made, drilled some holes for joysticks/buttons and brackets.
Buffed and sprayed with paint.

Bought a second hand Silverline 26" CP sticker off a guy on Jamma+.
Very lucky to get this as accidently started chatting him about sometimg else.

Put the sticker on with tips from Muddymusic on Jamma+.
One pitfall happened here when i had the sticker half on. Realised I forgot to put on the joysticks with screws. Had the puncture sticker afterwards, ah well, lesson learned.
Also were a few creases in the second hand CP sticker leading to issues ironing out bubbles. Another lesson learned.

Slightly off centre as well i know

Pointers and feedback welcome. (Be gentle to CP virgin)

Nice refurb! Have you mounted it back on the cab yet?

No not yet, had some ikea lights to mount in my kitchen when i got home.
Too many pieces !!

Tomorrow hopefully, just to test the CP.

Still have lots to do with the cab.
Coin door, side art needs touching up somehow, T-moulding, general small bits.
Monitor still not perfect so need some professional help. Gunblade fixed the monitor board but didnt have the monitor so brightness isnt quite there. I have a guy lined up to look at it soon.

Looks the shizzo!
Only thing Id say is that those buttons are just OK.
These would bring it to another level

Cant wait to see it all back together! Should look great. You don't get too many people trying to refurb Silverline cabs, most of them just get mamed. Which is sad really.

Those games always left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. They remind me of Chiller with animals

Remember those amazing RunDMD pinball animation clock things? Looks like the creator is working with the AO guys to get some orders out.

£149, including EU postage. FrancoB is putting together frames for them.
