I picked up my first cabinet last week for only £80's so i believe i got a
as it came with a neo geo 6 in 1 board with 4 games that he just gave to me as he was selling for someone else. He didnt know if they worked? Its a jamma cab with Golf greats by konami which is alright but i just wanted a cab that wasnt too far from my house. I watched the auction episode and i was shocked how cheap things are over in the states, as they are mental prices here and the delivery charges are as well
The bloke didnt havent the keys but coin door was open so i could play a bit. After waiting a week i decided to drill the lock off which worked only to have the bloke txt me to say he was posting the keys
i was going to buy new keys anyway. Ill get some pictures up soon to show my progress but so far this is what ive done.....
1) Changed the marquee blub and cap which worked!
Let there be light!
2) The power cord was in two parts and kept tripping the power off in the garage so got new cord and plug and wired them up, which didnt trip the power! Lucky im an electrician but most people could do this anyway.
Next job is to clean up the cab and start sanding all the metal pieces for painting.
Questions - My monitor just doesnt seem to be giving a perfect picture and its only today i opened the back but any suggestions would be appreciated as there are a load of knobs
and im not sure what to turn. Ill get the model tomorrow and get back..
Also as im new to this i pluged the 6in1 to my jamma and had a grey screen with a few black blocks on it? Keep in mind this has been in someones garage for a while and ive only plugged it in the last few days if that makes a difference?
Also picking up next cab which is a total carnage on monday for a bargin but ive been told it works but has some gfx problems? any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
