I'd be crazy to buy something like this...wouldn't I? Can anyone tell me about it? Is it a big PITA or the coolest thing ever? Is it just another driving game with tons of hype? Does anyone have any experience with them? Does anyone own one? I think I can get it for $500 or less but the monitor is dead. Is it full of custom chips or one off parts? I never got to play one back in the day and have only heard the legend of folks lined up to take a turn. My wife may literally murder me to death ..read more

Found this cab on the curb by my house. Any idea what game it could be? Looks like it was converted to a Golden tee at some point ..read more

What kind of quality are these cabinets? Every once in a while I see one show up on Marketplace, and they look fairly solid in pics at least. The last couple I've seen listed are early 2000s models with CRTs. I wouldn't mind snagging one for the right price and putting a BitKit in there if it's a solidly made cab. Thanks ..read more

In other words, which game do you never touch again once it's running? That game that makes you want to bust up a room. For me…GORF!!! Those damned customs! That's a rough game because it can also fool you into thinking it's a monitor related problem with Hold and Sync. She's running again though…until the next time she vomits. Jason ..read more

I just pulled this guy out of storage. This has been a long time coming. I have a working board set, power supply and monitor that I swapped in real quick and she runs! Lots of cleaning and minor repairs going on ..read more

I've seen old threads, here even, vouching for their quality. But I just want to make sure they're still on the up and up. They don't take any payment other than wire transfer which is something that's really not protected. Please let me know. Thanks ..read more
