'Business' Area : Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Candy Cab
« on: December 19, 2021, 06:37:57 PM »
FYI I'm still looking.
I actually found a 2 seat Virtua Racing for €300 (condition questionable), but I can't really fit that into my small home office...
Why is it so hard to find a tiny sit down cab?

Hi All,
I'm looking to buy a Candy Cab, preferably located relatively near Valencia (Spain).
Not overly picky about the model or condition, but needs to have a rotatable screen.
Thanks

I built a new leg as the front left one was missing (but can't find the pictures of it...)
I re-glued the black plastic covering the front left leg that fell off during transport.
Still need to make a new backdoor as the old one was water damaged beyond repair (bloated, bent and chipping) and get a lock for it. Anyone know what size lock to get? I got the cabs without any locks and all the locks I can find locally are just tiny.

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days. WAAAAAAAAAY overdue update...
Due to work priorities, I wasn't able to do the whole project myself. Some was delegated to a co-worker (like the wiring, ugh... will not show that).
Anyway, it's been running for months now even though it's not complete... mostly X-men Vs Street Fighter.
Replacing the marquee light was a pain, the old bulb was dead and the mount was falling apart. I could not find the proper size bulb and mount anywhere. Bauhaus had the right size bulb but doesn't sell that size mount (wtf?). I tore apart an smaller old bathroom light for the mount and ballast and mounted the bulb from Bauhaus (finished pic to be added tomorrow when I get to work).
I've put a coin button in place of the coin door lock as I can't seem to find a lock that would fit. That and the door is a bit of a tight fit so it doesn't open by itself, or easily for that matter.
Andhe cab's new location, the office conference/game room.

This project looks promising:
https://hackaday.io/project/9763-super-low-cost-vga-output-for-the-pi-zero
My *nix driver configuration skills are a bit sub par, but I'm pretty sure that you should be able to set 15khz output in the /boot/config file...
I only have a B model, no B+ or zero to test... Any volunteers?

Thanks guys.
I'm a bit worried the CP is gonna give me hell. Trying to fit a Street Fighter layout on 15.5cm*57cm, it should fit but we'll see how it plays.
@ Q*ris X2 - I actually opted for a mame setup initially but was outvoted (too much time/work
). There have been complaints to the lack of Mortal Kombat on the board so who knows, maybe we'll ditch it.

I've had these two generic cabs for a while and since I don't have space for them at home, my brother thought it would be an awesome addition to the office (yes, I work for my brother... don't ask).
Anyway, to satisfy the majority, it was decided to convert the empty cab to a multi-game (game elf blue 619-in-1 to be exact).
Since my brother is impatient, the cab has already been moved to the office. (pic #2)
Here is the print company guy attaching the new sideart. You can see damage to the left leg (it's missing) and the black plastic fell off (need to re-glue it). The sideart came out much better than I expected (wasn't my choice but wasn't my money either
). (pic #3)
We ordered a new PSU and wiring for reliability. New Sanwa sticks (they're so wonderfully clicky
) and concave buttons.
I'll have to build a new CP as the current one already has too many holes. Since I have literally 0 metallurgy skills, I'm gonna have to make it from wood/MDF.
Also need to replace the marquee lamp and see what I can do about the coin slot lights (the wiring is pretty bad and they don't work).
Will keep you updated on my progress.

Electronic HandHeld Games & Vintage Toys, Home Consoles & Computers / [flea market find] - What did you find today?
« on: March 23, 2011, 08:22:07 PM »
I usually lurk (mostly because I have nothing good or interesting to write), but not today
A few weeks ago I went to the local flea market looking for the usual: old games and old audio gear (including records). Most of the time I don't find anything interesting, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw these two just sitting there! A near mint DK? No way...
I picked up the DK and asked the lady how much? 2€ (15kn local currency)? I'll take the Mickey and Donald too!!!
At first I figured I'd sell them, but the DK grew on me real fast (Mickey and Donald not so much) it's a lot more fun then I expected (I usually suck at LCD games).
So anyway, now I'm looking for a case to put them in so they don't get any more scuffs =]
