Tube Swap

Posted on 15/07/202405/11/2024 by mR_CaESaR

I had a couple of hours Saturday morning to get the tube swap going. First order of business is to put the cabs side by side so I can just slide the frame from one cab to another Slide the tube from the Point Blank cab, placed it on the Continue Reading

Dedicated Point Blank Machine

A dedicated Point Blank machine has been in the “want to buy” for many years. I can now officially say, one of my last grails has been purchased! Time Crisis 1 can now be sold off and this will replace it. Got delivery of this cab last Monday and when Continue Reading

Atomiswave Stereo Amp Upgrade

Posted on 12/04/202405/11/2024 by mR_CaESaR

The last major part is the Stereo Amp. Enter Sega’s 601-10369 Stereo Amp! It’s in a nice cage and has the step down transformer built into it. Prefer to use arcade amps instead of the 12v leppy ones from ebay on these candies if I can. The taito one would Continue Reading

Novelty Cab

Novelty Cab

It’s been a minute since I posted, mainly because most of the cabs are functional and I’m spending most of the time normally for tinkering on SF6 since my Next Gen upgrade above. For those that aren’t aware, I recently purchased an Atomiswave SD with the plan of it being the direct Continue Reading

Atomiswave To Do List

Posted on 26/03/202405/11/2024 by mR_CaESaR
Atomiswave To Do List

My to do list was as follows: Stuck with original colour scheme and the CP is looking FRESH! I know 6 buttons isn’t required for a vertical cab, but I figured I might as well do it from the beginning and have it ready if ever this cab goes back Continue Reading

Atomiswave trivial update

Atomiswave trivial update

Been working on the cab the last couple of nights looking at the “trivial” things  Harness is done – I made two as DRAGONKZ is also wanting a set. This is totally different from the normal “J” harness for the Egret or the Vewlix since the start button location is Continue Reading

Operation CRT replacement

Operation CRT replacement

I hadn’t touched the cab at all this week as I only really wanted to “get into it” once the CRT was replaced. I did try to turn on the cab, but it was definitely dead, it also didn’t make a sound so I was slighly concerned, but that was Continue Reading

Egret 2 – Cleaning, wiring, putting it all back together

The cab has been cleaned as best as I can and the last thing to do is give it a cut and polish, but she’s definitely looking MUCH better than when I first got it. With the chassis arriving back from Joey the other day, it was time to put Continue Reading

Egret 2 – speakers

Posted on 23/02/202324/02/2023 by mR_CaESaR
Egret 2 – speakers

Let’s talk speakers After using the Logitech Z407’s on my outrun2 cab, I thought this would be a perfect set of speakers to use on this machine to give it that 2.1 upgrade. Trawled through marketplace and found it half price compared to when I purchased mine at Bing Lee Continue Reading
