Hiya fellow crazy arcade phreaks!  ;D
Here is the last chapter of my Nintendo bulk buy, not much to tell, as i had the cab shipped here... but i hope the pictures will suffice.  :)

Temp stored at the company


The receipt.


Unwrapped the biggest crate first, but had a little peak at the corner first - though, the cabs was excellent wrapped! - as always!


Mustache man is not happy...


In ok condition...


First 2 cabs on the trailer.... DK3, it´s your turn...


All 3 cabs strapped down for their final ride...






"Arcades in mirror are closer than they appear!"


Arrived at The Shed


1st cab waiting to into The Shed


from outside...


2nd cab.....


3rd....


Inside the SMB, i found these manuals:


!!!!!!! - never seen a PM or MPM converted!


Powered the SMB up first, first nothing happend... there was a high "ding" sound which was repeated but no picture.....
Luckily i had a spare SMB PCB, slapped it in and...... say the magic word.....


The picture on the monitor is actually quite good...




The 2nd machine to be powered up was MB, at first nothing happen....
Found out that a fuse in the monitor pcb was blown, replaced it and... say the magic word....


The monitor is quite bad on this one, there´s no picture in the left side of it, maby a cap kit can help here???




Last but not least, it´s DK3´s turn.....and once again - say the magic word....


The monitor is a bit dark, but i´m sure it can be ajusted...


Well, that´s it, The Shed is full! no more room for another arcade!...... - or maby there is...  ::)

Great, now you actually have a pretty nice Nintendo line-up,  :spaceace: there are not many collectors in europe who can say that.

Just this morning I thought that it would be nice to visit you sometime, but now I know one day I have to.  :)

Wow, congrats!! What a nice catch! Those Nintendo Cabs are awesome! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it.   :spaceace:

Those nintendo cabs look so good when they are line up like that...
Congratulations Muerto!
You now need a red donkey kong for good color balance.
Thats the rule if you want a feng shui game room  ;D ;D
