You should make sure to keep everyone updated with pictures of progress toward the end result, I for one find this cab very interesting  8)

I'm probably about to botch a bunch of terminology, but the idea is the have a jamma fingerboard coming out of the duo that can be plugged directly into a jamma harness in the cabinet. I'm not sure anyone has ever actually done such a thing before, but I have faith blue can modify a Duo that way. :)

Yeah, my apologies. I've sat around on this cab doing nothing for far too long. I'll keep you guys posted. :)

Why a Duo?  I'd use a Turbo, then you can hide it away, like an ugly, shameful disfigurement :)

Originally these cabs had modified PC Engines in them. I'd love to get one of those modified PC Engines some day. In fact I bid what I thought was a shit ton on one recently and lost. :( Anyway, I figure if I'm putting something custom in there, might as well be able to play CD and SuperCD games! :D You can't tell me you don't want to play Gate of Thunder on a cab. :D

Oh I saw a couple on eBay recently - this one seems like not-too-expensive

Nice find! I saw one of these at a local fair many years ago and haven't seen one since. It was playing Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf of all games, lol. Needless to say I spent my quarters on the Ghouls N Ghosts machine next to it. Cool looking machine, hope you get it all up and running.
