Cocktail table help ?

[rcrich]

Hey guys need some help!
I have come across an old dynamo cocktail table that has track installed and a golf game. Everything works well but I hate golf! I was thinking of putting in a 60 in one jamma board but was wondering who you guys purchase them from. Second thing is what joysticks would you install? 4 way or eight way control?
Also can I get a new wiring harness for the joysticks? Sorry I'm new to all of this stuff. Any and all help would be great!

How do I insert a picture?

well im sure the wire harness is hacked to bits for it to have the trackballs so just get yourself a new jamma harness and rewire the cabinet.
8 ways are the cheapest and a lot of games use 8 ways, get 8 ways.

Host the picture somewhere (imgur.com) and then use the

Some of the 8-ways have a plate you can rotate to convert it to a 4-way without much of an issue. A cheap JAMMA harness is about $8 at New Holland computers or eBay. Chances are you'll need to modify the control panel or make a new piece. When track get put in, the control panel usually ends up with a giant hole. But I'm not familiar with the Dynamo cocktail table so I could be wrong.

x2 on Holland Computers. Good service and timely shipping although they might not always be the cheapest. I've ordered joysticks and parts from Ultimarc, and Andy is very speedy especially considering he is located across 'the pond'. I've gotten sticks from Groovy Game Gear and they are adequate but have a lot more slop in them than an authentic stick. My latest sticks are Seimitsu that I purchased from Focus Attack and I really like them. The shafts were a little short for my wood control panel, but my Galaga-and-MsPac-loving neighbors think they are the best sticks I've gotten so far.
I think you would be happy with the 60-in-1 board. Lots of great games and no they aren't 100% true to original, but only the uber-geeks like us will ever know the difference. Everyone else will think it's cool as hell.  I've had the 60-in-1 in my space invaders replica for a couple of years and everyone has enjoyed it.
