My First Arcade Cabinet!

[MarkMan]

I've been planning on getting an arcade cabinet for awhile now. I've always wanted a Japanese style cabinet like a Sega Astro City or a Versus City cabinet. But with this one so close by to my house(2 min drive) I couldn't resist!

Just got this in a few hours ago. Had to hurry to tote it over to my place because it was startin' to rain. Thankfully it just started pouring after we got to my place instead of while we were en route.

It used to be a Tekken 2 cabinet. Now it houses good old Tekken Tag. Everything is in good working order from what I tested at the former owner's place.

The only thing I want to do is replace the stick/buttons and the plexiglass on the control panel. After that it should be good to go for regular play!

If anyone can help, does anyone know where the service switch is for the TTT arcade board? I couldn't find it for the life of me.

Congrats on your first arcade machine, they are addicting...
Go here: http://bombjack.org/ and get yourself a manual if you don't already have one.
The service switch could either be a dip switch or a button inside the coin door.[/url]

Hey, MarkMan, since you're from San Diego do you know Stealthlurker? As he also has a huge collection especially cabs!

I assume you mean the test mode switch? There should be one mounted in your cab, but they don't always put them in there, so if it's not there, there's 2 dip switches on the PCB... IIRC one of them is freeze video, the other is test mode.

BTW, congrats on the cab, it looks very nice!

Nice find, if you are looking for more machines in the future let me know. I am also in san diego and have a few contacts. I can get a golden axe right now for $150.
