  • If scans are available, there are plenty of artists on here who can take a look at it (myself included).
  • The only thing against me doing anything about it (or the HF marquee idea) is time. I gotta take care of day job stuff way before arcade stuff.

  • opt2not said: It’s not just this forum, mikonos is notorious throughout a handful of forums for his shady practices. There is a deep history of his foul play, lots of it is posted within his “gallery” thread.
  • Right now, we’re trying to get him to rectify an issue with one of his previous clients. Till then, my advice is to avoid dealings with mikonos and go with someone more trustworthy and reputable. Click to expand…

  • …I dunno, I think you’re either going to find one of the last remaining SlamMasters Deluxe setups on Earth, or you’re not. There’s no piecing it together. You just aren’t going to find the middle piece or the marquee box.

  • I should clarify the “throw in” comment. I probably misused the term. I picked up several games from that place and basically had room for one more cab so I grabbed this one. So it was kind of a throw in from my perspective, but it was by no means free
  • But I would bet money they do have the left half of this and I’ll look for it the next time I’m there. But I don’t know about the marquee box or connecting piece. I had no idea anyone cared about this cabinet when I picked it up. I just thought it would make a good foundation for a multi-CPS2 fighter cab!

  • Well can’t make changes to any of the posts on the first page anymore, but wanted to add that Eco Fighters had a “big” marquee and came in the attached-marquee/2 player control panel Q Sound cab version.

  • I have a captain commando cab. I would like to covert it to a sf2 champ edition. I see on the first page there is a small difference in control panel size. Does anyone know if a sf2 CE CP will fit the c. Commando cab? Thanks.

  • If the size is different, then i would think it’s safe to assume it won’t line up exactly. I believe this was covered somewhere in the restoration section when someone tried to do this very thing. As a general arcade rule, I think it’s best to restore games to what they actually were, not a similar but different game.

  • I’m not certain the size is different. Cabs look identical other than coin door. Do you have a link to the one you speak of? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks.

  • Thanks for the reply. I currently do have an xmen vs sf marquee in the cabinet and it fits perfectly. I’m torn between making it a sf CE or xmen vs sf. I am leaning sf CE.

  • My cabinet is empty not playing anything. I really wanted a big blue and found a guy to sell me an empty cab for 100 bucks. Even the cp commando cp I have is unpopulated with no artwork. I picked up the xmen vs sf marquee to fill the empty space and because I was intending to go that way. Sf CE seems to be a more original fit though. I’m still on the fence. In any case I need the fighter style control panel.
