koolbrez67 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well I finally got one. I am so happy it needs a little work and a new monitor but I am happy. I also got it for free which is even better . But what really makes it nice is when I got it home and found 27 dollars in quarters still in it. I was like hell ya. So It is now called my Lucky Cab. I took some pictures of it to show what it looks like I am going to take the free change and part out the rest of the unit on ebay and use that money to fix the unit. Bin one full of quarters in the front Bin two in the back full of more quarters Can't wait to start on it gotta move first. Thank you Paulstevens for finding me a free cab. I work so hard on HS and stuff for the community it feels like Christmas right now. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawd Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 That is actually very funny! Nice job! I used to walk down to the local Zellers store to play Rampage quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbrez67 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Getting your first cab for free it's great. Getting your first cab free with 27 dollars in quarters Priceless. It's my lucky cab. It was also full of playing cards from Vegas. It is in mint condition on the inside. Everything is there and it runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garebear911 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Pretty awesome, I looked forever for a cab around here and couldn't find ANYTHING except for a track and field cab. I finally found a street fighter 2 cab but paid $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbrez67 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Update sold the Marquee , Bezel and sound card of the rampage cab. Used the money to by a TrackBall. I've completely gutted the unit now and I've started stripping the siding off. The Control panel has been cleaned up and needs a new piece of sheet metal. I will put up pictures tomarrow of how it is coming along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolbrez67 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Finished the side and kick plate today will my military buddy dave. The sides are plastic sheets. I got them for 20 bucks each 96inchs X 48inchs. I put heavy duty metal corner protectors on each side and metal covers for the kick plate. I will be getting new Tee molding soon and I am ready to start on the 28 inch LCD and get some smoked plexi glass from Tap Plastics. I need to have a marquee made. I was hoping to get Billpa to make me a Hyperspin marquee. Other than that I am waiting on the rest of the stuff to get here and I will be ready to rock soon.

I've had mine for a couple of years and I still get a kick seeing it, something I always wanted. 28" LCD is gonna look GREAT! Keep us informed on your progress.

SophT Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yo man- if you're gonna go all out, I suggest smoked glass instead of smoked Plexi. It's looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbrez67 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well I got a little done while the site was down. I got my smoked plexi and it looks great. I cut my control panel it was a pain in the ass. I killed my drill in the process and had to go buy another one. So Here is my update. I will be finishing up the CPO next week. I will wire it this weekend. I am trying to time it with the newest release of HYperspin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbrez67 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well I got the Control Panel almost done. I picked out this really cool Hollowgraphic laminate at Tap Plastics with a Lexen Cover. I think it looks sick I can't wait to finish this. I'm taking my time so I don't mess anything up since this is my first cab. My racing Spinners need to still be drilled But I will get that this weekend.
