@@LFiers You can literally feel how smooth Turbo is compared to the other versions when you do your inputs, it's quite astonishing once you notice it. I appreciate all versions and find them interesting to compare, but without a doubt, I agree with you it is the best version hands down easily. The Hyper Anniversary Edition arcade is technically my favorite since you get a taste of all the older versions, but it's obviously quite unbalanced, at least when you play CPU they all use super characters.
@@vision821k4 Yeah, I loved them all but Super Turbo blew my mind. I'll never forget when I first seen it. And yeah, all the inputs definitely much smoother and more fluent to do. I love them all time but S2 Turbo was lighting In a bottle. What a time in gaming they was.
I’m about 15 years older than you and started with pinball before Pong showed up in the poolroom/barber shop-no arcades yet! You younger guys have so much more knowledge on the wiring. My first home arcade was The Odyssey (collectors must know it). It was Pong! You had these overlays that stuck to your HUGE 25 inch tv via static. So you’d put up static hockey rink and play pong hoping the ball would find the net. When Donkey Kong and Pac-Man showed up in the local pizza joint we were in heaven. Then when the arcade was born with high power graphics killers like frogger we still had no clue what was coming! So when I watch Ralph turn these older cabs into game room gems I’m totally jealous. How much did you pay for that beast? I know when you’re done it’s going to look great. Everyone needs to score their favorite arcade machine from the 80’s,90’s,00’s any newer probably gotta go emulator. Look forward to seeing that Street Fighter looking like new!
Pure happiness. SF2CE is definitely my favorite of the classic Street Fighter games. I bought the PCB as well and am playing it on a supergun, but nothing beats the original cab with CRT and original controls. Heck, even the artwork is classic. I still remember playing this at my local doughnut shop... Thanks for the in-depth look.
I feel like you graduated from single A straight to the Majors. Grew up playing this during high school, the best game of all time imo, grats on owning an authentic one.
I think this is a really awesome pickup. You need to make a video.. from arcade1up to the real old retro arcades 🤣 2:16 I had a ETA Prime Moment there... with the hands 😅
Congrats, a true legend when it comes to the 90s arcade scene. There's a lot you can do with that cabinet; from the Darksoft CPS loadable games to adding a CPS1 to CPS2 kick harness for the CPS2 A + B boards. Ohhhhh, if you do, get the updated fans, those old ones are LOUD. LOL. Yes, first thing address the monitor, make sure the power supply is clean, be happy with the bat sticks or change them for new ones and I would say art is the last thing. But it is your baby.
Emulator driven multicades are nice relatively easily built arcade machines, but nothing's sexier than the real thing. It's the difference between a high quality print of the Mona Lisa and the actual Davinci-painted canvas.
That's awesome, man! I'm so happy for you. I have five perfectly restored vintage CRT arcade cabinets myself (Tempest, Star Wars, Toobin, Xybots and Budweiser Tapper), and there is nothing like the real thing. Needless to say, I don't need to tell you of all people, it's addicting. ^5
You've got a nice arcade row there. Love the Street Fighter cab. That's a nice design with the pullout shelf. Makes it easy to swap JAMMA boards if you're into that. Good luck with the monitor chassis repair.
Nice, Cab. Maybe one day I'll get a real cab, but for now I'm happy with my modded arcade1up. The size is just perfect for my game room. Street fighter 2 is definitely one of the first games I've played. Once I saw an arcade1up of sf2 I knew I had to get one.
My friend Josh and I would go to the Burger King at Thunderbird and 19th Ave. in Phoenix and play this game every day at lunch. There was a hole in the fence at Thunderbird HS that would lead right to it. A whole group of students would go and down 2 Whoppers for 99 cents and play SFII. (And, Mortal Kombat/NBA JAM). I feel this way about Hydro Thunder,. I cannot wait until I can get my hands on a real cab for that.
@@RetroRalph yes it is a bootleg. They got around the capcom cps1 security so capcom changed the security in future board versions. Also I have it on mame lol for years now
I wish I knew how many quarters I put into this machine in my lifetime.. I remember playing it an old grocery store called Smiths and at a Phoenix mini golf place called Golfland.
Most importantly,newbies should know that the CRT monitor will most likely go out very soon after they get it home! They always do. Sometimes they go out on the way home LOL
Score on the 25 inch monitor version. And you can always try to adjust the red pot. Or just do a full cap kit. My first cab was a sf2hf. Classic game for sure.
Retro Ralph, Welcome to the full size Arcade Hobby! Nice! It is good to see you 1UP guys are going into the full size cabinet to see what we go through on maintaining and restoring. (you may have already known) I only have room for 10 full size arcades and I am at 100%. so, I have no more room, However, I may purchase my first Arcade 1UP and squeeze it in somehow. I may be looking at Star Wars. Any comments on Star Wars +- ?
Reminds me of the old Street fighter days Me: hey Mom can I get a quarter? Mom: boy shit...you thank money grow on trees!!?? Me: go digging in the couches for nickels, dimes, and pennies
Awesome pick up man!!! I like the easy board access in that thing! Hey I just realized something kind of cool, I actually own the centipede cab that is in the background of your intro 😱 the picture is from Disney Quest in Orlando and after they closed I managed to snag the centipede. It’s kinda cool seeing it in your videos haha
A full restore would be gratifying. because of it's age, a cap kit for the monitor would be necessary. I'm no expert but I've seen enough of "John's arcade" to know that's something I'd do. As far as the cabinet, sand, paint, bondo body fill the lock down bar holes after you remove them for home use, and artwork is time and a little money but all worth it in the end, not too mention clean up of the control panel. You'll have a nice arcade piece after a restore!
It looks great man! This is the kind of project cab I like, they usually hit a sweet spot on price but aren't a total mess. I've been wanting a Z-back for a while to put my Champion Edition board into myself. For now I've just been popping it into my Astro City. Just an FYI, you can also swap two ROM chips on the Champion Edition board and convert it to Turbo if you want a change of pace. I prefer CE as that's what I will always remember as the real peak for SF2 at the arcades, but Turbo is a guilty pleasure from time to time.
The color pots are known to go bad, or the color transistors. Hopefully it is as simple as a cold solder joint, but usually when a color is missing, a transistor or pot is bad. I highly recommend doing a cap kit to the monitor as well. It'll future proof the monitor from going dim in the future, and that could also resolve your color issue.
Great question at the end. For me, personally, I would love to get a full size arcade cabinet. However, I don't have any space for it. I'll have to stick with my modded Arcade1Up SF2. Enjoy the cab!
LCD is NO match for CRT the quality is top notch You should slowly switch over to CRTs My Popeye and DK JR LOOk INSANE on CRT Plus my Gameroom classics 40 in 1 From this point out I WONT buy a LCD unless i can convert it back over to a CRT My At games is that last one Ill buy .
I just purchased a SF2 full size arcade with that same z design and all. Everything freshly worked on. I’m excited to pick it up. Has Pandora’s box 9 put on and a 25’ CRT.
I have an mk4 cab that I put 3 or 2 in. I love it. Please make a detailed video as you go through your monitor discharge. I have some minor monitor issues that I’ve wanted to look into and heard recapping may fix but scared about the discharge and can’t find any good videos online about doing it. They kind of always go to fast assuming you kind of know what you are doing.
Congratulations on the machine find! If I had the money, and a strong enough foundation, and enough power to feed them, and enough money extra money to repair, and maintain them, I'd love to have actual commercial arcade machines. But, I don't so, I have to live with the reality of settling for Arcade1up, and Toyshock machines, filling up my home, like a slowly growing colony of mold. LOL Thanks for the video. :)
The cab only ever had one speaker. You can do a mod to get dual mono off the board but this never had true stereo. Lemme know if you need more help with the mod. I did a full Z-Back restore on KLOV.
Retro Ralph yea its the CN5 connector. I’ve experimented with it eight ways from Sunday. Trust me it’s dual mono. You just have to make sure you desolder the volume pot on the board before using that connector👍🏼
Retro Ralph I should also mention the CN5 connector only puts out line level audio. Meaning you’ll have to use some sort of an external amp like one of the small Lepai’s. Makes it sound great tho! And if you mount it behind the coin door you won’t have to lower the control panel every time you want to change the volume.
unfortunately for me ,all we had here were bootleg cabinets with bootleg boards.I restored a Mortal Kombat 1 as you can see in my channel but it was the only one i know existing in greece.
This is the best version of street fighter , Perfect balance . I’d probably set the difficulty to 6. Super street fighter 2 turbo was ridiculously hard even on easy. The Arcade1up street fighter would of been good if it had sanwaa buttons and stick.
I would really love to have an OG legit, full size cab like this, but I live in a cramped 1BR apartment. Upstairs, no less. The modded A1U cab is gonna have to do it for me right now. Grats on this score, though! SF2CE is boss.
Like and extra brownie points for finally doing a video without Justin in it. That's gonna be a great project cab, you're getting quite a collection of project cabs lately. SOOOO much better to see these than that ShATGames cab. lol PS: And yes when Ralph kicks the bucket Burgertime is mine so back off bitches.. lol :P
That is awesome man Congrats! I would love to get into classic arcades but I think it’s a little outside my competency. Especially when you mentioned electrocution at the end haha. We never have arcades available here anyway so thank god for Arcade1up
Yup you can keep your home made mame bartopsand cabs, 1up machines and crappy lcd screens there is nothing that beats the original stuff and the glow of a CRT monitor, I've just got hold of a sf2ce cab it had an lcd conversion which I ripped out and put a CRT back in, also lost the shitty led marquee and put the orginal florescent tube back in there like I remember it from the good old days.
I always dread working on CRTs. One too many close calls! Haha! Congrats though on that. I love those Z-Back cab designs. Always easy to get to the boards and do wire work.
First off congratulations on your new arcade machine, now I need your help ralph or anyone in the comments section, I had gotten my hands on a at games legends ultimate, I was putting it together and found that the monitor control board is missing out of it, I have no idea why maybe it was having problems I do not know anyway I emailed at games to purchase a monitor control board and they told me they have no way of checking if it was purchased form an authorized retailer and do not know if It is under warranty, I never told him I wanted it for free so I asked if I could just buy it from them and they said no, they say the do not sell parts for this cabinet so now I am stuck with a cabinet that does nothing but take up space, my question to you guys is there something I can buy that will work with this unit properly? Anyone’s help would be appreciated thank you.
Hey RetroRalph- It’s so cool to see that people can actually get their hands on the classics in real arcade form... Do Mind me asking how you obtained it and how much you paid... Wither way, that’s an epic find... Congrats brother... Hopefully with all of this CoronaVirus stuff going on, everyone is safe and quarantines etc...
Enrique Pizzati Thanks for reaching out my friend, I hope you’re staying safe as well. The machine was around $800.00 but you can get better deals if you look around. It was in decent shape and I was feeling nostalgic so I went for it. I justified it by telling myself I would sell more of my Arcade1Up’s. 😏 Thanks again for watching, I really appreciate it!
I just got one of these 2 months ago it had a Pandoras box 6 in it... i dumped that out and put a gaming pc with a 8tb hyperspin drive in it... never looked back. sitting in my living room now.
Great vid ralph. I have a alpha cade and i love it. I think emulation is a wonderful thing. But i want to get a nice standup or cocktail cab running a 60 in 1 board. I think o.g. cabs are works of art but like many others i dont have alot of space.
Nothing beats the original CRT. Nice project. Should be easy to fix the missing red (unless the red gun is dead... Hopefully it's not !). Looking forward to an update. Cheers for now!
Nice pick up. Have one myself. You may want to recap the monitor at some point as well. Also the marquee is incorrect for that machine. Turbo Hyper Fighting is the correct marquee. Good luck with your project.
Great find, are you going to shoot more for the real thing now? Or are you still going to buy Arcade1Ups? Seeing you open the control panel reminded me of when I found an NBA Jam in a hotel. I pulled up on the joysticks..just being a bored kid and the whole thing lifted up. I was so excited to see inside but right as it came up a crazy loud alarm went off and scared the shit out of me. I ran like hell haha.
🤣🤣🤣 It will be a mix of both but I plan to do some full size for the channel as well. I have a cool Street Fighter original that I’m going to do some cool things with. 👍🏻. Thanks for watching bud!
That is so awesome, that is how arcade gameplay should be. Hope you can get it to resemble it's former glory. First 2 days look like you have to get all the dust out. Are you going to remove the lock hinges and fill up the holes in de the front as well?
Yeah it's a bit dusty, it also has that nice old wood scent inside... haha. I'm going to do a full overhaul of the outside to get it as close to original as possible. I plan to document the process on the channel the best I can. I might need some outside help on a few things such as a good method to bondo those holes after I remove the lock hinges. ;-) Thanks for watching man, I really appreciate it!
Retro Ralph you’re right what I understand & remember there counter fit games reselling them in dynamo & Z style. Even boards was counterfeit, I’m in Hawaii I have a few 🤣
I have those plus a Street Fighter (original) cabinet in storage that I would like to bring back to life. Thanks for watching the video man, it’s much appreciated 👍🏻
I have a guy that I have purchased some arcades from and he has one like your for sale. Excellent condition. What is a reasonable price I should pay for it? Thank you for your time. Great video!!!
Depending on condition I would say anywhere from $700-$1200 is reasonable. Although location does play a factor on pricing. But I think right now it’s a buyers market so you should be able to get a decent deal. Thanks so much for watching!
I picked it up last year, I meant to do a video on it around Christmas time and never got around to it. It was an arcade owners personal game so it's never been on an arcade floor, it's in almost perfect shape! It was a total score and it was one of those (right place / right time) situations. I will do a video on it soon :-) Thanks for watching!
@@RetroRalph Wow that is reeeeeally lucky! Thanks for answering man. I watch all of your videos regularly, and for the lunch livestreams since I'm in Europe they are dinner livestreams.
Wow look at that a REAL arcade machine. Isn't she a beauty? EEBlog lol. Isn't it nice to own something real and genuine instead of big box store toys? I do. That's why i own 2.
i am 40 now and first played this game at my local chip shop. i was around 10 after the arcade experience snes version never done it for me always felt inferior every time i played it on snes.
Taking old cabs and either restoring them or gutting them and putting in your own hardware is the way to go. you can get a much more quality cab cheaper on the used market and put good parts in it. it also makes sense to know how to work on the stuff if you’re going to own it, and no better way than diy
Definitely my most played arcade game growing up. This is my fav version of street fighter.
of course it is, you couldn't handle when things got faster scrub.
@@vision821k4Haha. Brutal. For me Super Street fighter 2 Turbo X is my favourite!
@@LFiers You can literally feel how smooth Turbo is compared to the other versions when you do your inputs, it's quite astonishing once you notice it. I appreciate all versions and find them interesting to compare, but without a doubt, I agree with you it is the best version hands down easily. The Hyper Anniversary Edition arcade is technically my favorite since you get a taste of all the older versions, but it's obviously quite unbalanced, at least when you play CPU they all use super characters.
@@vision821k4 Yeah, I loved them all but Super Turbo blew my mind. I'll never forget when I first seen it. And yeah, all the inputs definitely much smoother and more fluent to do. I love them all time but S2 Turbo was lighting In a bottle. What a time in gaming they was.

One more thing.... Every little step you take to restore it will bring you SO much satisfaction and pride.
When completed, it will be your baby.
Breathing life back into much needed retro gaming (awesome)
That is awesome. It brings back
Memories from my childhood.
Pure happiness. SF2CE is definitely my favorite of the classic Street Fighter games. I bought the PCB as well and am playing it on a supergun, but nothing beats the original cab with CRT and original controls. Heck, even the artwork is classic. I still remember playing this at my local doughnut shop...
Thanks for the in-depth look.
I feel like you graduated from single A straight to the Majors. Grew up playing this during high school, the best game of all time imo, grats on owning an authentic one.
besides arcade i remember playing this at my corner Gas Station when I was a kid. loved it.
One of the 7-Elevens near me had a bootleg one,. With fireballs zig zagging
I think this is a really awesome pickup.
You need to make a video.. from arcade1up to the real old retro arcades 🤣
2:16 I had a ETA Prime Moment there... with the hands 😅
Congrats, a true legend when it comes to the 90s arcade scene. There's a lot you can do with that cabinet; from the Darksoft CPS loadable games to adding a CPS1 to CPS2 kick harness for the CPS2 A + B boards. Ohhhhh, if you do, get the updated fans, those old ones are LOUD. LOL. Yes, first thing address the monitor, make sure the power supply is clean, be happy with the bat sticks or change them for new ones and I would say art is the last thing. But it is your baby.
Jaan
Emulator driven multicades are nice relatively easily built arcade machines, but nothing's sexier than the real thing. It's the difference between a high quality print of the Mona Lisa and the actual Davinci-painted canvas.
Awesome! Just learned the name of the cab! Thanks! This is the one I been posting in our FB group! This too was my fav back in the day 😂
Played this at SDSU between classes. So awesome! Congrats on this.
Can’t wait to see how this project evolves with new side decals and a fixed CRT monitor. Excellent!
This cabinet made someone a TON of quarters!
That's awesome, man! I'm so happy for you.
I have five perfectly restored vintage CRT arcade cabinets myself (Tempest, Star Wars, Toobin, Xybots and Budweiser Tapper), and there is nothing like the real thing. Needless to say, I don't need to tell you of all people, it's addicting.
^5
You've got a nice arcade row there. Love the Street Fighter cab. That's a nice design with the pullout shelf. Makes it easy to swap JAMMA boards if you're into that. Good luck with the monitor chassis repair.
I love how excited you are!
So excited man, thanks for watching! 🤘🏻

Rainbow edition hack was my favorite when I was young
Man Rainbow edition is crazy... LOL. Did you know it was developed and published by a Taiwanese hacking group?
@@RetroRalph yes it is a bootleg. They got around the capcom cps1 security so capcom changed the security in future board versions. Also I have it on mame lol for years now
I like how your cab is easier to access the board.
Nice video! You should do a comparative video with a 1up cab. The 1up community needs more information about real arcade cabinets.
I wish I knew how many quarters I put into this machine in my lifetime.. I remember playing it an old grocery store called Smiths and at a Phoenix mini golf place called Golfland.
The SFIICE cab and the MKII cabs are the PREMIERE cabs to own!
Most importantly,newbies should know that the CRT monitor will most likely go out very soon after they get it home! They always do. Sometimes they go out on the way home LOL
Got a taste of the real stuff. I’m hooked.
"Ain't nothin'like the REAL THANG!"
Hell yeah man! 🤘🏻
Nice video dude, haven't played this in its originality in a while. Keep up the good work Ralph. Love it!!!
Score on the 25 inch monitor version. And you can always try to adjust the red pot. Or just do a full cap kit. My first cab was a sf2hf. Classic game for sure.

Now you must get the Rare Arcade Games! Also yeah Fighting Games are really hard to find in good condition sadly.

Get an Aero City candy cab. Or a Capcom Mini Cute but that is $$$$$.
Like and extra brownie points for finally doing a video without Justin in it.
That's gonna be a great project cab, you're getting quite a collection of project cabs lately. SOOOO much better to see these than that ShATGames cab. lol
PS: And yes when Ralph kicks the bucket Burgertime is mine so back off bitches.. lol :P
Dude that’s so bad ass!! Congrats man !🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks bud, I appreciate you watching!
That is awesome man Congrats! I would love to get into classic arcades but I think it’s a little outside my competency. Especially when you mentioned electrocution at the end haha. We never have arcades available here anyway so thank god for Arcade1up
Yup you can keep your home made mame bartopsand cabs, 1up machines and crappy lcd screens there is nothing that beats the original stuff and the glow of a CRT monitor, I've just got hold of a sf2ce cab it had an lcd conversion which I ripped out and put a CRT back in, also lost the shitty led marquee and put the orginal florescent tube back in there like I remember it from the good old days.

Wow
I always dread working on CRTs. One too many close calls! Haha! Congrats though on that. I love those Z-Back cab designs. Always easy to get to the boards and do wire work.
Good stuff! You need yourself a candy cab next! I know some good sources for one I can share with you.
Yes please, I want a candy cab so bad!
I know original is usually the way to go but id still replace the monitor because...you know what im sayin.
Legendary! You can upgrade that champion edition board to Hyper Fighting by swapping out 3 roms. Hyper fighting is THE best pure SF2 experience !
I actually plan to do just that! Thanks for watching!

I would like to get more real arcade games but don't know how to fix the monitors on mine - know anyone in the tucson area who fixes arcade machines?
Congrats
Great Content as always..!! Arcade1up is Cool.. But you Can’t forget about the Original Arcade Cabinets..!!
Can't wait for "The Next One"!
See you on "THE NEXT ONE"! ... haha... thanks for watching man!
A real full size arcade cabinet is hands down the best way to play street fighter II!
Hey RetroRalph- It’s so cool to see that people can actually get their hands on the classics in real arcade form... Do Mind me asking how you obtained it and how much you paid... Wither way, that’s an epic find... Congrats brother... Hopefully with all of this CoronaVirus stuff going on, everyone is safe and quarantines etc...
Enrique Pizzati Thanks for reaching out my friend, I hope you’re staying safe as well. The machine was around $800.00 but you can get better deals if you look around. It was in decent shape and I was feeling nostalgic so I went for it. I justified it by telling myself I would sell more of my Arcade1Up’s. 😏 Thanks again for watching, I really appreciate it!
I just got one of these 2 months ago it had a Pandoras box 6 in it... i dumped that out and put a gaming pc with a 8tb hyperspin drive in it... never looked back. sitting in my living room now.
Nice man, good work! 🤘🏻
Really enjoy the video Ralph thank you
How about changing the color of the light strip to more of an incandescent color. That's what I did and it looks much better.
Great grab Ralph, congrats..
Thanks man, I appreciate you watching! 👍🏻
Great vid ralph. I have a alpha cade and i love it. I think emulation is a wonderful thing. But i want to get a nice standup or cocktail cab running a 60 in 1 board. I think o.g. cabs are works of art but like many others i dont have alot of space.
I like the cabinet, arcade1up fine for me
Nothing beats the original CRT. Nice project. Should be easy to fix the missing red (unless the red gun is dead... Hopefully it's not !). Looking forward to an update. Cheers for now!
Did arcade CRT’s use the RGB format? I recall this made the colors really vibrant.
im 43 and i use to play final fight, street fighter, mortal kombat, pit fighter. and many others as well :-)
Some of the best games!
Nice pick up. Have one myself. You may want to recap the monitor at some point as well. Also the marquee is incorrect for that machine. Turbo Hyper Fighting is the correct marquee. Good luck with your project.
How much did you paid for that im trynna get one
$800... but I have seen them go for less. It really depends on how much work you want to put into the cabinet.
He is still alive! The wife didn't kill him apparently.
I’m well and in Isolation with all my arcade cabinets... LOL Thanks for checking on me.
Just saying if you need to will this cabinet happy to be that person for you ;)
Hey, when do stream live? Been watching and would love to watch live!
Every Sunday night at 4pm PST , would love to see you on one of the live shows.
fu..k, will never forget when I played it for first time with my cousin... I was 9 or 10 in the late 80's. This game blew my mind ✨✌✌✌❤
Mine too man, SF2 will forever be iconic to me. Thanks for sharing the passion man! 💪🏻
Is street fighter 2 mono?
Just curious how heavy this machine is?
It’s probably a little over 300lbs. I’m guessing but that seems about right.
hey any update on this yet?
Great find, are you going to shoot more for the real thing now? Or are you still going to buy Arcade1Ups? Seeing you open the control panel reminded me of when I found an NBA Jam in a hotel. I pulled up on the joysticks..just being a bored kid and the whole thing lifted up. I was so excited to see inside but right as it came up a crazy loud alarm went off and scared the shit out of me. I ran like hell haha.
🤣🤣🤣 It will be a mix of both but I plan to do some full size for the channel as well. I have a cool Street Fighter original that I’m going to do some cool things with. 👍🏻. Thanks for watching bud!
@@RetroRalph champion edition not championship edition
3 mins in, 100% mate
Why am I the only person who never played fighting games in the arcade.
I was way too into Tempest, Defender, Stargate etc…
I miss those days.
That is so awesome, that is how arcade gameplay should be. Hope you can get it to resemble it's former glory. First 2 days look like you have to get all the dust out. Are you going to remove the lock hinges and fill up the holes in de the front as well?
Yeah it's a bit dusty, it also has that nice old wood scent inside... haha. I'm going to do a full overhaul of the outside to get it as close to original as possible. I plan to document the process on the channel the best I can. I might need some outside help on a few things such as a good method to bondo those holes after I remove the lock hinges. ;-) Thanks for watching man, I really appreciate it!
Those cabs are Dynamo cabs
Albert Y I believe this is actually a 3-KOAM Z back. flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=5998
Retro Ralph you’re right what I understand & remember there counter fit games reselling them in dynamo & Z style. Even boards was counterfeit, I’m in Hawaii I have a few 🤣
Retro Ralph that’s when capcom started to put those reflective stickers so it could be identified
Hey Ralph! Do you own any other full size arcade cabinets besides Donkey Kong, Ms. Pacman/Galaga, and now SF2?
I have those plus a Street Fighter (original) cabinet in storage that I would like to bring back to life. Thanks for watching the video man, it’s much appreciated 👍🏻
I have a guy that I have purchased some arcades from and he has one like your for sale. Excellent condition. What is a reasonable price I should pay for it? Thank you for your time. Great video!!!
Depending on condition I would say anywhere from $700-$1200 is reasonable. Although location does play a factor on pricing. But I think right now it’s a buyers market so you should be able to get a decent deal. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the quick reply. I live in Fresno, California.
Quick fix 😂😂😂never happens lol good luck 🖒🖒
Wishful thinking right, thanks for watching!
@@RetroRalph i finished up my light gun mod 😁😁😁😁thanks for the video im going broke watching your ideas 😂😂😂 🖒🖒
SWEEEEEET!!!
WTF since when do you have a Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga 20 anniversary reunion arcade cabinet? :O
I NEED A VIDEO ON THAT.
I picked it up last year, I meant to do a video on it around Christmas time and never got around to it. It was an arcade owners personal game so it's never been on an arcade floor, it's in almost perfect shape! It was a total score and it was one of those (right place / right time) situations. I will do a video on it soon :-) Thanks for watching!
@@RetroRalph Wow that is reeeeeally lucky!
Thanks for answering man. I watch all of your videos regularly, and for the lunch livestreams since I'm in Europe they are dinner livestreams.
Wow look at that a REAL arcade machine. Isn't she a beauty? EEBlog lol.
Isn't it nice to own something real and genuine instead of big box store toys? I do. That's why i own 2.
i am 40 now and first played this game at my local chip shop. i was around 10 after the arcade experience snes version never done it for me always felt inferior every time i played it on snes.
Taking old cabs and either restoring them
or gutting them and putting in your own hardware is the way to go. you can get a much more quality cab cheaper on the used market and put good parts in it. it also makes sense to know how to work on the stuff if you’re going to own it, and no better way than diy
