    Just behind it, against the door, are the pieces for mounting the head board back where it belongs, just legendary.
    I thought too, for a moment, that the screen might rotate, but I think not.

    Oh my lord.

    It's from 2001, so you can only hope that it has since caught fire and burned down his whole workshop.

    I almost wouldn't believe it other than the fact that the second picture still has a Pony IV plastic bezel around the screen.

    The irony of the message on the screen in the 'MAME'd photo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,154 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    It cannot be real.. can it?!
    You could rent the control panel out as a bedroom in Dublin these days.

    What he said about the original candy cab


    "The cabinet itself is ugly as heck however inside it were a number of the goodies I needed to make my cabinet real."

    According to a copy of the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy that fell through a time warp from 100 years from now, he was first to the wall when the revolution came.

    Needs more buttons. I'm a member of the MAME Arcade Cabinet Builders page on Facebook.
    The crimes commited to some nice cabinets on that page would make a man or woman cry. Little 18" wide cabs with a 20 player control panel ****ed onto the front.

    Must have polished the whole thing off while designing that control panel.
