Mirrored from Arcade Otaku for those who only come here:
I thought as there is some interest on this forum for this cab to be shown in a bit more detail I would post some pictures up in my own thread.
A little bit of background on my cab I got this for helping Fire-Bug Aka Mark Starkey sell some arcade parts on here over the last few months in order to help fund his Heart of gaming arcade project:

The agreement was that I would get a bare bones project cab out of the left over bits from building up his 6 Vs city's & therefore the cab would be incomplete & a bit worse for wares no problems I said fare play, major missing parts were monitors, PSU, stepdown, some wiring & yellow plastic housing on the light box winner display.
The Troc had a 7th VS in there workshop with lots of parts missing.
For my Vs city I'm using 2x Nanao MS-2932's 31K ex VT3 as they have the same curvature as the MS9 & with only 1 bezel afaik my options were limited.
Having been working on this a few weeks now I'm almost finished tried MAME on it Saturday night to test 1 side as still waiting on a second monitor, but all ok & sound was working both sides so at least I know its good.
Mark & his GF picked the cabs from the Trocadero up 1 Saturday in July & asked me if I could come to the workshop & help unload them, so I got in my Bimmer & came down...
All the cabs at that time were looking a little battered as some of you will know if you had seen them in London not that well looked after & general abuse from been on site for over 10 years:
Over the next weeks we started to strip down, clean & learn about what we had at the time, as some more were picked up at a later date:
More to come...
