Well, I guess my luck has turned... it even took a funny turn today.

I was asked to build a MAME cab for a friend (paid in advance and all...) so I headed to a place an hour away (Eastern Townships... is all I will say!) to pick up an empty cab. I walk out with a decent Xenophobe cab converted to Combatribes years ago, but supposedly didn't work in the last 5 years (had the dust on it to prove it...), for a whole 50$.

So I brought it home (what a heavy bastard...), and decided, what the hell... let's plug it in. Lo and behold, the damn thing works!!! Flawlessly even! Monitor barely has any burn-in and the colors are bright!!!

Well, the cab will still be MAMEd, but it is funny that I get a nice monitor out of it!!!

Mine last week went to the shitter I got reorged at work so no job again S*$#.
So what ever bad luck you had you traded for my luck.
Any body want to trade with me now??
Sorry for Hijack

If that game is complete and working why don't you just go and get another cab?  Why convert that one?  Then again I don't know anything about the game that's in it.
