Well as any collector knows, people throw away anything and everything. I sure you know what I got out of the trash but for the less minded. I got an Ameri Darts cab and here are the pics.

The mono speaker that looks like it came out of a car and the light for the marquee is a standard house bulb in a ceramic holder(aftermarket ?) I think the Track ball has been replaced and they did a cheap ass job of it too.

This is how a cab moons people LOL There are no tags on the cab and the PSU has a Konami sticker on it.

Here is the Monitor with some lines on the left side.

This is the board and on KLOV it said that it was JAMMA+ so what is the + for?
The Back and coin doors are laying off to the side.
So I want to know is will a cap kit fix the lines, and its value (like anybody would buy it). I am going to sell it after I do my first cap kit on it. I learned that the game was kit only and this cab was shell you could buy to put anything in.
This is actually my B-day present, Yes my parents love me so much.

If the lines are caused by the image "folding over" on itself, then yes, a cap kit will probably fix that. You might try adjusting the horitzonal knob first just to see if that's the problem.

JAMMA+ means just that -- JAMMA "plus" something else. My guess is it's labeled that because of the track balls.

Personally I would say a dart videogame is worth almost nothing because I would think anyone who would want one would just buy a dart board, but what do I know. :) I'm guessing working in decent shape at an auction it might bring in $100, but who knows -- maybe someone's dying for it!

Yes I had to play with all the adjustmnets to get the monitor to that. So where is a good place to get caps from?
I am going to cap it and it is going staight to ebay for local pick up or you can arrange your own shipping.

Everyone I know orders their cap kits from Bob Roberts, although I am sure there are other sources out there.
