    They certainly stand out anyway. Not sure about that testicle textured one on the end though. :P

    They for the candy Steve or a bartop or something?

    Haven't turned my cab on in a long time now, although any time I walk past it I give the stick a quick flick (;)). Just so it doesn't think it's been forgotten. :o

    They're for...... Dunno :)
    Prob try them on a few things and see how they look. I've a bartop they might look good on, but maybe a waste to use them on that.

    Anyone use an LCD for a marquee yet?

    The idea has been around for a while but thought the LCD would be cheaper by now.
    16:3 ratio for your Mame cab, scrolls through the marquees as you play/select each game.

    This is a 19" version.
    http://www.litemax.com/PD_Products_Detail_51_141_2303_US_utf-8.html#.Val09flVhHw

    There are 22" and 25" versions. Doesnt have to be that make/model.

    http://youtu.be/AAmAkXXEqwE

    Anyone know where to get one?

    We should get a kickstarter to replace every public mame cab's sticks in Ireland, and we as a country, will finally be able to hold down back.

    I can't see the top handle and the flash hider is wrong, but the hand guard is from a vietnam issue M16. The mag is too long as well.

    Dont ask

    Easy coin up solution, connect inside your cab to a microswitch.
    Mainly for events etc...

    What annoys me about that is a legitimate cabinet with a CRT wouldn't actually be much bigger.

    In Galway for a few days. Checked out the couple of amusement centres in Salthill. Mostly one arm bandits and redemption games.

    Only cabs of note were a monster Time Crisis 4, Doodle Jump and the Sega Codenasters effort Grid which I never knew existed outside of the consoles.
