There are two different chassis/ monitors used in the Cute, all Nanao and Sanwa with toshiba tube .
The Nanao chassis is common on YHJ but the Sanwa is rare .
Of course I didn't knew this and grabbed two Nanao's only to find out later I needed Sanwa and tubes are only interchangeable if you also have the right Yoke :mad:

Then I found Cools on A.O. had a Nanao monitor and a spare Sanwa chassis with Yoke so I traded both Nanao chassis for his Sanwa / Yoke :P

Ah ok the cute im getting is also sanwa,have i any chance of getting a spare or am i in trouble ?

Altough it's convenient to have a spare when trouble strikes you don't really need one as your original can usually be repaired .

Great that eases my mind a bit, id still like a spare if anyone knows of one or see's one let me know thanks.
Also another query is it ok/possible to run naomi in the mini cute with the capcom I/O a motherboard and netdimm any dangers?

Naomi needs 3.3v afaik. If your cab psu doesn't offer that you'll need a dedicated power supply.
That's how I understand it anyway!

paul79

Think the capcom I/O does the 3.3v as far as I can make out no gd rom unless using separate psu tho can't post url link I found info on sega naomi . Com

Oh yeah. That sounds about right. And if you're going the netdimm route you won't need the gdrom

Ye Im thinking the netdimm route is best won't need the gdrom just wanted to check and see if it was ok in the cab with psu etc
seems the capcom I/O is very good

You'd need a jvs to jamma adapter tho?

From what I can make out the capcom I/O is an all in one converter you plug the jamma connection in one side and the naomi stuff on the other side?anyone use one have any experience?

TechnoFreek

Probably explains why they command 100 quid plus

paul79

Ok done a little more research capcom board will power naomi motherboard but won't power the naomi and the netdimm :-(
Anyone have a spare naomi psu?

safetyboy

sorry didn't read thread eek, I use one of these in the NNC http://jvspac.kirurg.org/ no rewiring or jpac involved.

You can use a standard atx powersupply (with a little modification/adapter) to power the mobo/netdimm, handiest way tbh.

capcom i/o will power the naomi mb with cart netdimm only.you may need to turn up your voltage abit to get enough volts at the naomi mb though. if your running the netdim with a gdrom will will need another powersupply as the jamma supply isnt powerful enough to power all.
invest in a cheap volt meter ,you'll need it

Get one of FrancoB's jamma voltmeter's from here http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?t=26026&p=373977
you can either splice the cables from atx and connect them directly to jamnma harness (or jamma extension cable to preserve your own) or get a female atx connector and make up a cable.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I think the cute has arrived

paul79

Sorry guy's been up to my eyes.
Tenants in my apartment are gone no rent and left the place destroyed f×××ers.
Gonna cost me to set it right for renting again to new tenants :-(
On a brighter note mini cute has shipped earlier this week :-)
How long ill have it we will see.
Gutted at present.

o1s1n

For a moment I thought you were going to the the cute was off. Nice to know you have your priorities right

In all seriousness though, hard luck - that's really awful. Hunt the bastards down!

So as of now I have a kidney for sale and a left heart vertricle pm for offers please.

Still no candy

paul79

Still no candy

If you book it, it will come!

Steve X2

The weather is too nice for a candy to arrive. It'll wait until there is a good chance of rain, then the truck will pull up and dump it at your door and head off.

Lots of rain and still no cab

safetyboy

Has it been shipped?

o1s1n

Seems like a long time to wait for shipping if it's from within Europe?

paul79

I agree seems a long time I was told 7-10 days.
The seller was away last week couldn't contact him he got in contact yesterday to say he will contact shipping company and get back to me today with tracking reference and details of whats happening.
Yes oisin its coming from Germany game-trader site

Ah nothing like the 2/3 week wait after you've dropped 1000e + on something .
Enjoy !

Do they usually send cabs out or is this an exception for them? If it is, maybe they're just slow.

Ronnie churns them out non stop and the delivery time reflects this, usually takes 3-4 days.

It's because someone embedded the "I Want Candy" song a while back, that song has become a harbinger of death around here

There is a few cabs on his site so I presume he has shipped before could be new to importing/exporting them.
On a side note oisin did you get that final fight on AO?

I didn't go for it in the end, no Reckon it was over priced. Was something like €135 with the A board included. Fairly sure I've seen them sell for €75 or so before.

Shame as I've been after it for a while and that board was in great condition.

paul79

He offered it to me at €150 I was considering it and then he dropped the price contacted him again and he wouldn't deal .
It's a great game but think I prefer avp,how much does an original avp go for these days?

o1s1n

AVP is a far better game alright. I'll be clinging onto that one as I go into the grave

It varies in price a lot though. I've seen it sell anywhere from €100-€250.

I'd say it would be quite a squeeze to get a CPS2 board into a Cute. Just trying to find a picture of the available space now.

o1s1n

Jaysus, here's an expensive little collection that I came across while searching for pictures of Cutes.

SC19, Pony II and a Cute. Almost 6k worth of cabs?

paul79

The SC19 is a thing of beauty love the hood on them no doubt about the price estimate,they are mad money and extremely rare.
I'm sure I've seen a video with a cps2 running in a mini cute think it was sfa2

Ronnie has one coming in next container, 1750 ex shipping

paul79

He also has cute's for the same price I think,can't afford another cab fingers crossed on the lotto maybe

o1s1n

€1750 does now seem to be the going rate of any cab with a small monitor.

Great business for him as they're a hell of a lot easier to ship over!

paul79

Anyone you talk to all small cabs are rare even in japan and high demand for them has driven the price way up in the last few years.
Should have got into this sooner when prices were reasonable.
i could possibly sell my aes and games.

That is one amazing use of space :eek:

Casey120

The wooden mounting plate is actually attached to the door itself making changing boards very easy :



The second harness dangling to the ground is the standard CPS2 kick harness .



Rotate the monitor and bezel in a minute .

paul79

Makes me wish the one I have ordered was here.
ok update just now the seller has emailed me back saying there has been a mixup with paperwork and cab is still in Germany,he has asked for my number to pass onto schenker so they can contact me directly,I have asked for tracking reference and number to contact them any advice here guys

ondafly

personally I would just ring them myself

Schenker Ireland (Limited)
North Ring Business Park
Santry Dublin 9
Ireland

Phone: +353 1 8165400

Ask any records of a delivery to the address you provided. Go from there. I know I was a long time waiting on my cab from Holland. At least 2 weeks, and it actually arrived before I even got a tracking number, but at the time I just found out who the shipping crowd were, contacted them directly and scheduled the delivery to suit me.

Ah jeasus man,
That sucks.

I ordered a L- couch a while back.
They said it'd be 4 weeks wait .Paid a few quid and and waited.
Heard nothing so buzzed them on the 5th week.
Turns out they "forgot to put the couch into the truck in poland"
more like they never ordered it.
So have to wait another 6 weeks :eek:
only 4 1/2 left now till I can sprawl out on it.
Got 15% more off it tho.
Tell him you want 20% off off your canceling it

paul79

Rang schenker cab was only picked up today in Germany.
emailed seller to ask what's going on to my surprize he hasn't come back to me yet!
