I don't know what i must think of this cabinet. IMO the art is rather ugly but there is something special about.
I can't exactly say what it is, maybe the original theme?

Nevertheless you are doing a great job restoring it.

Another masterpiece in the Scr33n Hall of fame!

looks like his room he once had has been expanded to a hall in the meantime. every single time we ask him he still has space for another 1 or 2 cabs ;)

hey scr33n, how many more cabs can you fit in ;D

that is another AMAZING job you did there, max! well done!!! i'm officially jealous, but you totally deserve to be the owner of that cab.

of course the question has to be asked: what's next? i assume you still have space for 2 or 3 cabs, right? ;)

Thanks guys  :-* :-* :-*

I'm working on ...

What about the PCB? Did you managed how to repair it?

Unfortunately the PCB is full of bugs (sound problems - sprite problems etc....  :?) - no money and no force at the moment to fix it  :-\ :-[

MCR II is a pain in the ass to fix !!! :evil: :evil: - remember Gyruss  ;) ;D ;D
