Chuck D. Head Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have an opportunity to pick up a cosmetically nice Scramble cab real cheap. I have limited space for cabs, so I would like to put a jamma 60-in-one in this to give my guests opportunity to play other games. This will leave me enough room for a four-player game (x-men, turtles, etc.) an EM pinball and a modern pinball. What will I need to do in order to convert the non-jamma cabinet for the jamma board? I just need the basics, so you dont need to go into too much detail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Melville Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Your best bet is just to buy a new deluxe Jamma harness from Bob Roberts and rewire the cab. If it doesn't have a switching power supply you will need to get on of those as well. In addition you may need to modify you control panel to accommodate the game's needs (more button, multiple directional joystick, etc). The cab some with a vertically mounted monitor so it will be great for all of the classics, Pac Man, Galaga, DK, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Roberts "super - super fully loaded Jamma harness kit" sounds as deluxe as it comes! Although, it looks as if I will also need to pick up a crimp tool to do the Molex connectors.

VectorGamer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 What exactly is in the cabinet now? Is there an arcade monitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 What exactly is in the cabinet now? Is there an arcade monitor? I haven't seen it yet, but the guy sez it looks all original to him; no splices in wires, all components look well aged, etc. All complete and working but a problematic coin mech.

Chuck D. Head Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, I have a Scramble! My wife asked if I was going to get it; I said "no I dont feel like spending the money right now", so she went and got it and surprised me with it! Looks bone stock, the coin mech needed popped back in and everthing worked fine except the joystick, which was wonky. Someone tried to fix it by stealing the switches from the left action buttons and it was pretty jacked up so I ordered a new one. Cosmetically it is great, except for the paint below the joystick. There was a big washer there that wore the paint away with the motion of the stick. I'm just gonna enjoy playing it for now and come back to the 60-in-1 thing later when I get bored with one game. Why do I feel like a junkie who just got their first fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredlineboss Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Congrats on the purchase! I got bit by the arcade bug about a year ago and now have 4 cabinets + (as of last night) a pinball machine. So be careful: these things can multiply. -Rob Edited February 29, 2012 by theredlineboss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
