Found a broken Pac Man table top on Ebay. Found a new monitor for a tenner on Ebay, did some cutting of metal, found a modern arcade loom and a new PCB that plays 60 games including Pac Man. Used a PC power supply to power it all and guessed the monitor connections. Da daaa! Four days of evening figuring out and it's up and running.  Charlie |

Extremely! I was looking for stuff like this a while back on Ebay but they where all doing silly money unfortunately. Always fancied a Galaxian/Asteroids (what's the one with the spaceship where you shoot and drop bombs but you have to move along with the screen?) Excellent purchase! |

Think you're talking about Scramble. My game plays:
Galaga
Galaxians
Scramble
Bomb Jack
Pengo
Pac Man
Ms Pac Man
Mr Do
Dig Dug
Donkey Kong
Zaxxon
1942
And loads more.
Originals are expensive but I paid £200 for the non-working cabinet, £65 for the board, £25 for wiring loom, £10 for the monitor and the PC power supply was free.

Always fancied making myself a MAME machine, full size arcade cabinet etc.
My Boss is currently making a small one of these from PSP parts, very nifty!

Awesome, specially on a reasonable budget. They put one of these type things in a van on Pimp My Ride I caught on repeat!

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I have an original Japanese Space Invaders one of these stashed at my father-in-laws warehouse, I havent had even 2 minutes to sort yet. Needs a new monitor and a freshen up and it'll be good as new.
Its quite a low one, like coffee table height. I think I'm gonna have to wait til we move somewhere larger to fit it anywhere.

^^^^^^^^^ That's like the first one I ever played on, about 1979 on a school trip to Northumberland, it was in a hotel in Wallsend IIRC.

I softmodded my old Xbox to play quite a few emulators including MAME games, so far its cost me 99p for a copy of Splinter cell as the console came from Freecycle, i was thinking about fitting it into an arcade cabinet, hadn't thought about the tabletop ones, be easier to find somewhere to put it i reckon.
