It arrives!  I got this gem for 160$ when you include fee's which I consider a great deal!  It is a Daytona USA Limited Edition Single Sit down Cab!  I have not seen too many of these, mostly because when I do see these in arcades, it is either the Twin or the 4-8 player units.

This unit came without a monitor, and to those purist who shudder at my idea to convert this into a MAME arcade, rest assured I did try to get it working stock with the original PCB's but alas, I could not overcome a bad board and lack of sound and control issues.  I even bought one of those VGA converter cards to give it a try because having a stock Daytona Cab would have been fine with me as well.

What I can do to benefit another stock machine is to auction off the spare parts on eBay to give another Daytona machine life with the needed parts, and then to outfit mine to have the spirit of arcade for all to enjoy!

I am a fan of the cabinet as a whole so my goal will be to keep the original look in tact.  No ridiculous race car seats... no shiney diamond chrome plating, I want to keep some authentic style to this project.
