My first naomi universal cab now with gun setup.

Post by OldFoo »

Well i have been after one of these cabs for a long time but as they are so desirable i have missed out on a few and some have been a little on the exspencive side for me but managed to get one at a good price a fixer upper.



So last friday i hired a van and drove up from london to oxford to pick up my new cab.



as shown below

after installing it at its tempory home my office i played one game of virtua tennis it was time to start stripping the machine as i wanted first of all to clean it up as i know how dirty the insides of ex rental cabs can be.



let the stripping comence.

Image



Goo this was after 4 hrs of cleaning and then removing the i/o board holder to descover more goo lol such is life.

Image



Ok let me refrase that there not usaly this dirty inside as after opening the cab control pannel up i descoverd that some one had dumped a pint of coke or brown looking goo equivelent in to the machine and had dripped in to coin area and lower mobo compartment so had a fun packed week end of cleaning all goo out of machine.



i had already brought the new net city face lift kit off sega shed and some buttons new joysticks off gremlinsoulutins so i was ready to upgrade the control pannel. oh and octigon restrictor plates for the joysticks.



White buttons added

Image



Blue buttons added

Image



Joysticks added

Image



now just about to order second hand marquee and brand new plasticks for top assem pannel to remove crack and ciggie burns and a new top control pannel assembly so top plastics match and are new off sega arcade uk.



Image



then it will be time to paint strip and re paint legs as they are in a state as usaly with machines that have been used out in arcades or pubs and apply new net city side stickers.



will post more as i do it.

the joys of owning a semi moden machine ya parts are avalible off the shelf lol.



oh and marqee is on its way to me as well just need a new coin entrance the mint nose is well ugly.



then its down to painting it but might leave that till i get it out of the office and in to my home as knowing my luck and scraping paint off it would be a shame.

If you're going to buy all new plastics you should get all the metal parts repowder coated rather than painted. ;)



I got a new bezel and cp upper but it doesn't stop there you have to get a new cp lower too so it's all minty. :D

Wow, your naomi universal looks great, especially with cvs2 playing.



I just recently bought a net city, which I'm planing on running cvs2 as well. Hopefully it will arrive by next week.
