Re: New Virtual On Cabinet Restoration

I honestly haven't looked very closely at the fans used but it can most likely be replaced with a 12V PC fan. (I recommend ball bearing fans for arcade machines) some games use AC power fans, these are generally the same mounting size as PC fans but use 120V AC, you can generally get these on eBay f...

Re: Recently picked up a VO OM 2-player Arcade Machine

So I don't have much to update since I've been pouring my time into Killer Instinct 2. I will say that I did some more research into what it would take to convert to an arcade version of VOOT or running off of an Xbox 360. Sadly the biggest roadblock is the monitors. This machine uses Nanao MS9-29SU...

Re: New Virtual On Cabinet Restoration

Re: Deals thread

I would venture a guess that you'd be looking at $500-$800 for shipping charges depending on distance.

It couldn't hurt to send him a question and ask for a quote.

Re: Deals thread

I just saw this earlier today: Twice what I paid for mine but it looks to be really clean. with the exception of a little yellowing in the plastics I don't see anything wrong with it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEGA-VIRTUA-ON-COIN-OPERATED-AMUSEMENT-GAME-/160992659167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=ite...

Re: Yahoo! Japan Auctions thread

as tempting as it is I should probably concentrate on getting my setup restored and settled before I start thinking about upgrades :lol:

Re: Recently picked up a VO OM 2-player Arcade Machine

interesting... I'm surprised that they're using those kind of microswitches in an arcade unit... I haven't taken mine apart to confirm but the switches sound like standard cherry microswitch units, just like the kind used in the base for directional movement. Here are some updated pics: Official Sea...

Re: Recently picked up a VO OM 2-player Arcade Machine

I worked as an arcade technician for 3 years while I was in college so I've got some good experience repairing and maintaining machines, I've also got quite a bit of experience customizing electronics. I'm not too up on all the details of the virtual on hardware used in these machines though, it's n...

Recently picked up a VO OM 2-player Arcade Machine

I've been into arcade machines for a while... I'm not the biggest VO fan but I owned VO OT on Dreamcast and played it quite a bit with my friends, and I would put in a game or two of VO OM in the arcade if they happened to have one. I recently decided to buy/ restore a Killer Instinct 2 arcade machi...
