Still Looking. Just got my Egret 2 back from the paint shop, just need the Egret 2 Illumination Panel to finish it off.

I'm looking for a Egret 2/3 or an Atomiswave SD Cabinet in good condition. I have cash waiting.  :D

Nice one, but your garage screams for ...an extension, and then a couple of classics  ;D
I know, I wish I had more space  :D
I must say thanks for giving me the inspiration to do my driving cab. I found your posts really helpful in getting it completed.

I have checked for earth continuity all the way back to the plug and it's fine. I checked various places on the frame and the chassis frame. I even unplugged the power cable and checked the earth pin on the chassis and had continuity back to the earth pin on the plug. I took the PC out of the Cab an connected it with a longer VGA cable. Then made sure everything inside the cab (i.e. Marquee Light) was disconnected so only the monitor was on in the cab. Turned the PC on and unfortunately the diagonal lines moving across the screen and speckles are still there. So I have ruled out interference from the PC or Marquee Light.

I have recently installed a PC with Mame in my Golden Tee cab. The Cab has a Hanterex Polostar tri-sync monitor. I have two issues with the monitor. In 31kHz (640x480@60hz) I get interference on black backgrounds. Its visible in low light and you can see diagonal lines moving across the screen and speckles. I installed a new shorter VGA cable to ensure it was not near any power cables and it made no difference. The second issue is that if I use "switchres" 15khz games such as R-Type are way off the the right even with the pot on the remote board turned all the way I can't centre the picture? The manual talks about a low impedance jumper that must be in place when using VGA, but I'm not sure where. Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to find some 10k potentiometers to modify my original Sega pedals ;D They work perfectly and I get full throttle and braking with out any problems. The full details of my cab conversion can be seen at "jammaplus.co.uk" or "arcadeotaku.com"

A few youtube clips of the cab in action.

The G25 wheel is already in the cab and working  :D It works really well and I get force feedback with PC & PS3 games that support it i.e. Outrun 2, GTI Club, Sega Rallt Revo. The Nebula Model 2 emulator also supports force feedback with the G25. The only real thing left to sort out is the pedals.

Hi,

I am new on this forum. I know vib_ribbon as he sold me an Egret 3 Marquee a while back. Glad to see you finally got the Crazy Taxi you were after :D I am currently working on a conversion of an old Sega Rally cab. I have installed a Logitech G25 Steering Wheel that is compatible with both the PC and PS3. I was going to use the G25's pedals, but then saw the Pedal mod done by Darth Nuno 8) So I have been busy cleaning up and restoring the original pedals. The problem I have is that the Sega pedals use 5k pots, but the Logitech G25 apparently uses 10k pots. Is it possible to get 10k pots to replace the Sega ones i.e. of similar spec / quality only 10k or is it possible to get the 5k pots working correctly with the Logitech G25. I would be grateful for any advice.

This is the cab before the steering wheel and monitor surround went on.
