Hey guys, I am working on my first cabinet and have been aided greatly by John's videos and these forums. 

Looking forward to interacting with you folks for our mutual benefit.

Dear LJ,

Here are the photos from my first day of work this past weekend:  http://tinyurl.com/pumng8e (http://tinyurl.com/pumng8e)

I think it was originally a Robotron 2084 cab.  However, it has (not pictured here) a Stargate glass/bezel combo. I need to find someone who wants this as I plan on replacing it with some plain plexi.

This might be heresy, but my plan is to make it a two-player WWF Wrestlefest. 

Thank you for the interaction and welcome.

Most sincerely,

Gus

Oh no dont let John see that! 

My first cab was a 4 player wrestlefest that had been converted to a Sunset Riders that I MAMEd.

My first impression of this one is that the joysticks usually are on the left side of the buttons!

The left handed controls are very annoying.
