I still hope to get a gold cab someday, hopefully in that kind of condition.
Why the fuck does a certain brand of joystick not belong in a certain type of cab? The only joystick that doesn't belong is those ridiculous looking bat tops you americans seem to be obsessed with.electricgrave said:Noob! Sanwa don't belong in this type of cabs, specially ball tops!
Notice how all noobs are allways gung-ho about sanwa, now that's not saying that sanwa isn't great, but this is just not the right application for it.
If you have a pic of a Neo Woody with ball top sticks, I would love to see it. EG was pointing out the fact that that type of cab doesn't use ball tops. Why? The same reason you don't run Ms Pacman on an lcd. . . It's just not right.Hewitson said:Why the fuck does a certain brand of joystick not belong in a certain type of cab?

I don't appreaciate being called a "noob" either. With all due respect (which isn't much), I've probably been in the arcade game longer than you've been alive.
Preserving a cab to its original state is what is all about. Pacificabs are beautifull you are one lucky dude. Now as far as the age factor goes I really hope so 'cause I'm beggining to feel the pain of getting old.Hewitson said:http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178419

Just because they don't use ball tops in your country doesn't mean they don't everywhere else. As far as I know North America is the only place bat tops are common

Ball tops on Pacific cabs are nice, 'cause it seems to go with the flow, but on a US cab is just plain sacriledge, like it or not is the damn truth.
Like Beaglepuss said is just not right.
Yeah, I have a friend that did the same, and those actually feel real nice, specially when you use the oval gates on them.wana10 said:i mentioned this in another thread a few weeks ago...but i'm putting sanwa's in my woody as part of the restore process, i just like how they feel. BUT i had to have the bat top, after all, getting the cab was just me feeding into my nostalgia. so i got these. all the sanwa playing goodness, all the bat-top nostalgia goodness, all in one tasty package. (bonus! the mounting holes line up perfectly with happs)
Yeah fair enough.. I'd rather have the cab fitted with my preferred controls, original or not. It all comes down to personal preference I guesselectricgrave said:Preserving a cab to its original state is what is all about. Pacificabs are beautifull you are one lucky dude.

I guess you're not gonna be part of the Neo Gold Black Label Society then?OldSchoolGamer said:I prefer the woody cab to be in original state. So I would personally stick to Happ sticks and buttons . To me..part of the experience with owning a woody is the feel. And nothing beats the original classic feel. That is why I wont change the color of my buttons on my goldie either. I will keep them multicolored as they are now

Defenately, I mean as much as I like to keep things original the black look adds so much more flare to the cab, that I just can't see it anyother way anymore.FairlanePhantom said:Nice to keep things original, but the goldie looks so much nicer with all black buttons.

sorry to bump a old thread but I've wanted to contribute to this one for ages but the right cab never came along.
But Today! oh happy day!
too excited to rotate images!!
gonna replace sticks and perhaps buttons soon but on the whole I am in love already.
