My Marvel cab has the spring and the action is reversed. Thought it was shipped broken until I tried turning it off and it turned on. Not too big a deal just odd
Thanks again Fox for the Mortal Kombat screen Mod tutorial. Don’t know how I got so lucky but scored the monitor off eBay brand new for 50 bucks shipped - Well worth it!
@19kFox Thanks for the review! I just received my Dig Dug legacy cab and I can say the same about that monitor and marquee. Outside of that this cabinet is fantastic and plays well with a great game selection.. I hope your next video with the monitor swap is thorough with the instructions. I've never modded anything to that level of a screen swap before, so more detailed steps would be appreciate if so. Thanks in advance, love your channel!
Well, I just got Dig Dug in recently, and it does have the TN monitor, but I have to say, for whatever reason, the 16:9, vertically oriented TNs at least look a little better than the 5:4 landscape TN in the Centipede Legacy cab. So, I wnt ahead and ordered the Pacmania cab when it went on sale for 300 at Bestbuy. I did come back and finished watching this video. Not sure that Dell monitor will work with this particular cabinet. You may have to consider purchasing a 16:9 BOE from A1up to replace the existing TN with, unless you can find the 16:9 Dell variant. Again, thanks.
Ive had my 2 arcade1up cabinets for a year and I'm only now learning that the plastic cover that you put over the control panel has a protective piece of plastic and that's why it looked bad
I ended up with this cab because I love the artwork as compared to other Pac-Man variants, but good god is the screen trash. I had an old gen 1 street fighter that I was planning to get rid of and did the monitor transplant, and that mostly fixes it, but again, god damn.
Just got this on sale at best buy for $399. It is vlcurrently still on sale there as of 8/3/23. 2 other cabs on sale, too. Street Fighter Hadouken and MK3 Legacy, I think? Idk, I was in the market for a Pac-Man Cab, lol...
19kfox, Awesome review! Yeah, seeing the dots turn red and the ghosts discolor in Pac-Man on that horrible monitor is a no go for me. I already have that bad quality on the countercades I stupidly kept buying. I would've LOVED to have the extra games Pac-Mania comes with, Rolling Thunder and that sweet Galaga 88', but I'm kinda done with eyesore monitors in my home arcade. Glad I was able to get the Pac-Man Legacy 12 in 1. Great monitors do make a difference :) Savin' me money Fox! vgv
Still thinking over maybe getting the Joust cabinet for Shits... I'd probably just play Joust and Tubing thou still using my Midway Legacy Mortal Kombat cabinet as a Nintendo Switch cabinet with a mini fridge
Assembled mine today and two minutes in it froze up. I powered off and then back on and only the riser lights up. Otherwise the screen stays black (not even lit up) and no sound. Unplugged and replugged in everything and nothing is working. Any thoughts?
19K being critical of A1Up and releasing a negative review? But Rexxer says you’re a shill who can’t be trusted. Guess he’s just exaggerating for views. Who woulda thought.
I'm sorry. I had to stop the video when you showed that horrific TN monitor. What are A1up thinking!? Such a gorgeous looking cabinet, and they just HAD to go and biff the deal with that monitor. Just took that one off my want list. Geez. Thanks for the review.
Its s shame this one using the same monitor as the MK30th. Believe or not, I haven't gotten a Pacman cab yet lol. May just got with the Class of 81 or the new Ms Pacman Legacy Edition, which does have a BOE monitor
A major disappointment for three reasons: 1) The TN monitor is horrible because the games look faded and it has poor sound quality; 2) The joystick is not that good nor the buttons; 3) It doesn't have the star quality to make it memorable like Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man. Pac-Mania is good as a supporting game but not on its own.
