My Full Sized Cabinet.

My full sized arcade cabinet, this Cab started it's life as a 1987 Konami Dark Dungeon Arcade cabinet, at some point somebody did a Jamma/control panel conversion to a 2P Sega Spider Man leaving the original side art and adding the Sega graphics to the upper sides and Spider-Man Marquee (which I still have planning to build a lightbox for it later along with my X-Men Marquee) then somebody got it and gutted it turning it into a Hyperspin MAME with some older PC parts they had lying around (Dual CPU AMD duron of some sort)

It changed hands a couple times, and eventually was left for a few years unused, it was about to be thrown out and I managed to save it. When I got it the PC hardware was toast and the monitor was in really really bad shape and was unable to salvage. so I removed all of the existing components and set it up with a Ryzen 5600X with an RTX 3050 used my 3d printer to print a proper motherboard tray and bracket for the PSU as well as some cup holders and holsters when I added a pair of light guns, when I got it the Marquee was non functional nor the coin doors so I replaced the lighting in both with some LEDs and wired the coin impulse doors up to be functional, although there are buttons for adding coins for those that want the tactile experience of feeding quarters the coin slots are there and functional and a try mounted on the control panel is kept full of quarters. I replaced the original Happ style buttons with some LED Sanwa style ones but wanted to keep the Happ competition sticks that were on the machine originally so manually wired them to a Sanwa style connector. I also realized I had a Old Neo-Geo Marquee and had the idea of using the launcbox marquee function to display artwork in the MVS cartridge window in the marquee, keeping with the idea of using vintage hardware/components on the outside but having dynamic artwork on the marquee.

Nice setup! I'm looking to add some light guns myself. Do you mind sharing which ones you got and from where? How accurate are they? Do you recommend them or having using them would you recommend something different?
