re: reducing the screensize, a mate of mine once said a 29" screen was too big for him and gave him tunnel vision, I do think you get used to it over time though (after several headaches perhaps)

Seeing the old classics like R-Type running on a good 29" screen is da bomb.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

first time i played double dragon on that 29" cyberlead cab was the best thing ever. even mario agrees.

dude, you still have that pic, that must be what 5 or 6 year old now

i've actually lost a lot of old photos due to my old backup disc giving in... but i still have all the photos i took for you of this cab, even though they are the resized versions.

hey, the folder is still there on my server.

only 4.5yrs old according to the date on the files? that is correct cos we moved house in sept 05, so getting rid of the cab in may 05 would be correct.



...that was a very poor digital camera i was using back then, it was actually a DV camera with a 1megapixel still camera built in. i still use that DV camera though i should really upgrade. (edit: i have been considering making a video of the crazy taxi cab in action lately... i need to find some BLANK TAPE!! =D )

i'll be doing away with my old sony n1 compact camera soon (taken about 15,000 pictures with it so far) and get a fuji F200EXR. the dslr canon 400d will stay with me for a bit longer.

Where is the best place to buy those crimp button connectors and plastic covers? I wanted to replace mine as they stink and are all yellowy.

[vib_ribbon]

you can buy the snide crimp-on ones from maplins.

the actual ones like the one you see with the wires snipped in the photo, you can get from various arcade parts suppliers, but there is a minimum order i believe, maybe a 100. akihabarashop?

the circular ones i got there were from some model shop in japan that a friend found for me when online arcade parts shops werent around yet.

oxtsu on shmups certainly do them via sanwa:

should be the 110 variety. wouldn't mind going halves if you get 100 ?

Seems like I've had the Cyber Lead for ages now...

Howwver the machine absolutely stunk of cigarettes/tar/filth. I've clean most of the outside and thoroughly cleaned about 2/3 of the inside.

I wish i could get my cabs to stink of tar and filth.
