Hi from Otto!
« on: October 19, 2014, 01:48:35 PM »
Hi guys!

Ive been into Arcade Gaming for about 18 months now (excluding my youth).

In that time Ive picked up, what was, my first cab. A BAS Jamma cab.
This originally came with a Phoenix PCB but the cab has since been completely hacked up (in a nice way) and made into a Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition.
It has a proper CPS2 Board an it looks quite nice in my opinion, I know SF isnt everyones cup of tea, I'll get some Photo's up later.
I have the normal 19-1 and 60-1 boards and its the latter of these that got me into what is possibly my favorite game, Gyruss.
Due to the rather shocking sound I bought an original Konami PCB and have fitted the high Score mod to it. The board is currently being repaired by my friend Martin following a power cut, but with any luck will be back with me in a month or so.
I also have a hand built Taito Trimline cab made by Victor Marland from the ten pence arcade podcast. This is where my Phoenix PCB currently lies.....
This brings me on to my 3rd and final cab....
A very sorry shell of a ZAC cab tat needs alot of love.
Its down to the bare timber at the moment so its a complete restore......
Long term goal, FULLY restored Zaccaria Phoenix  :D
Well, Ive waffled on for far to long for a first post.....
I also run a Atari 2600 forum ( thought id slip that in there  ;) )

Right!

Thats a bit about me!
Thanks to Dean for putting me onto this forum an I look forward to speaking to you all soon  ;D

Hey Otto - glad you took up the invite.

I was telling Otto about the great "unofficial" adopted Zac community here and how super helpful and nice everyone is....well, almost everyone ;-)

Well, its been an official project for about 4 days.....
Ive already sourced a shell, monitor, original glass, NOS marquee, emailed a guy about a coin door and got a load of image files for CPO and side art replacement  ;D
Its going quite well  ;D
Ow, and I already had an original PCB.
Me and Mr Silverfox will set up a proper build thread soon so we can all revel in the Zaccy goodness of the build  ;D
Thanks for all the help guys!
