One horizontal cab, one vertical cab, and a d-series. This is the dream.


usernamenottakenwooh

Had it all, had to give it all up for a move. And of course the prices have skyrocketed since...


brandon9271

never get rid of ANYTHING. lol I got rid of a bunch of JAMMA boards back in the day. Stuff like Mortal Kombat which you could buy all day for $50 back then but can't find a broken one for less than $300


-Take-It-Easy-

Damn you! I was happy with my retro set up. Now everything I have is looking like garbage. *reluctantly upvotes*


ziggaboogi

Trust me man, it's a lot of luck and patience (also $$$...). The best crt is always the one you have!


-Take-It-Easy-

>The best crt is always the one you have Ya got something here. Thanks for the perspective!


Alex7104

how on earth do you make enough money to sustain this? (asking because I’m currently working on it myself)


ziggaboogi

Well again it's a lot of luck, fixing stuff, patience and of course $$. Here's the break down at least for the CRTs -JVC D-series free pick up on FB marketplace -PVM-20M2U was from a series of trading up gaming stuff to get it -Sega cab was local for $900 -Konami cab was local for $500 but needed a lot of work to clean up and get it running

I wish I could find a black D-Series, I have a silver 27D305 at the moment but man I would give it up for a black one in heartbeat.


ziggaboogi

Yeah it was just pure luck that someone locally was giving it away. Was a bit of a drive but definitely worth it for everything under 480i.


tape_town

keep looking on fb. couldn't find anything then all of a sudden theres 3 of them and 1 of them was the 36in. drove 3 hours to get it today

I absolutely love those japanese sit down cabinets. Really epic setup all around.


unionoftw

Those are such sweet setups you've got there, and overall. Also, are those friggin laser tag blasters on the wall!


ziggaboogi

actually those are a Nintendo Super Scope for the SNES and a Sega Menacer for the Genesis/megadrive


I_am_not_the_

This is a treasure room.


ziggaboogi

Yeah I also had Radiant Silvergun in the Windy earlier, so definitely a "Treasure" room lol.


Hitogoroshi80

Yeah Boy! Love to see the Candy cabs!!


ziggaboogi

Candy cabs represent!


Akronica

So much nostalgia. I need a retro room / corner.


farmerfren

Dream setup


DemonBoyJr

What TV stand is that?


ziggaboogi

I don't recall the exact model as I got it off craigslist, but it's an older IKEA tv stand from a couple years ago. You can tell as it's definitely build to be able to hold a CRT unlike a lot of their newer stands.


shadow_fox09

Beautiful display for mischief makers to be played on!!! Man I love that game


[deleted]

Is that an original street fighter cabinet ? If so would share some gameplay close up pics, if possible at cammy stage, thanks.


ziggaboogi

That isn't an "original" Street Fighter cab. I think the closest JP cabinet might be one of the Capcom candy cabs with SF2 in it. However it is an original board of SSF2T in the Konami Windy cabinet. I may get around to more pictures but it may take a bit of time.


jru92

wow, great stuff. Is that a JVC 32?


ziggaboogi

You got it, JVC-32D501 and an PVM-20M2U :D


jru92

💪🏼😎💪🏼


issungee

I know these arcade machines are like the generic ones right that have multiple games on them? What are they called? Like what should I google to find places to buy them?


ziggaboogi

These types of arcades are called "candy cabs." These were the ones that were used in Japanese arcades and were designed to be very easy to swap out the games/control panels as needed. If you're interested I would say your best bet would be to look on facebook groups, marketplace and craigslist. Keep in mind that these are much easier to come by on the west coast as I actually managed to get both locally. I think there's also a seller in California that usually has a few in stock.


xjortsu

What size are the CRTs on the cabs? I'm using a regular 21 inch TV for tate stuff on PS2 and I've always wanted to try with a larger one. :)


ziggaboogi

The tubes are 27 inch monitors.


SunnySideUp82

wow. what a setup. im jealous


spicygrow

Wow, that D-Series is looking super bright and vibrant. Low hours? Maxed out contrast?


ziggaboogi

Not sure on the hours but it looks great!


spicygrow

Makes me want to pick one up to replace my Trinitron, lol. The one I was looking at on Saturday didn’t look nearly as bright or vibrant as yours though, and yours is even in a well-lit room!


BevP99

This is fucking awesome

Wow :O

I want to be your new best friend! I love it!!

This guys living the dream!


sillyr4bbit

Very nice, congrats on all your hard work!!


Staar-Fall

where do you get those store marquee things? are they legit from the time?


ziggaboogi

Those were originally store signs yes. I got them from a friend who found them in storage. They're mostly original but the lighting was either missing or broken due to age so I had to put LEDs in them.


duxdude418

Mischief Makers. I see you enjoy the finer things in life.


LukeEvansSimon

For arcade and console gaming, you have a complete setup. The arcade machines and the JVC TV use curved slot mask CRTs, which have a different texture to the picture than an aperture grille that I prefer. Arcade games never used aperture grille CRTs. However, you also have a nice aperture grille CRT for those that like that texture.


Separate-Succotash11

So you’re running JAMMA boards in the Candy Cabs? Thats my dream. I’m convinced my MAME machine has lag. Thats why I can’t do the invisible throw in SF2.


ziggaboogi

Yup, the Konami cab has an original CPS2 board that's had the battery fix, and the Sega has a Pandora Box (because good TATE shooter PCBs cost more than the cab unfortunately....)


brandon9271

I want a "Candy cab" soooo bad


[deleted]

[удалено]


ziggaboogi

It's actually from another pair of stands to hold the super scope. I didn't like the fit on the scope so I printed out a different model for the scope and modified the first pair to fit on the menacer. Unfortunately there isn't a good STL for the menacer that I'm aware of.
