Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition Arcade Cabinet Pickup Alright, here it is, my Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition Arcade Cabinet Pickup. I'm really excited about this, guys. Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition was one of the games that I played a ton of in the arcade. Now, whenever you buy a system like this, you have to be careful because, you know, some of them aren't in the best condition. I mean, these were on location at various places. I mean, look at this. It has lock bars on it. This might have been a rough place, but no one's getting any quarters out of this thing. Now, this cabinet is often referred to as a Z-back cabinet because of its unique shape. This one does not have the graphics, and the sides are kind of beat up. So that's going to be something I'm going to need to replace and fix. The marquee did not look like this when I got it. It actually looked pretty crummy. I'll show you that in a minute, but I lit it up and fixed it. As far as the speakers go, it has two stereo speakers, although it is missing one, so I'll need to go back and do that. And as we go back to the marquee, I'm going to show you real quick what I did when you remove it. It didn't look that great when I got it. It was just a light bulb. I removed it and I show you I just put a single LED strip and it looks pretty awesome So I pretty excited about how that came out And it was simple and easy All right so how do you gain access to the control panel So remove these locks from these two lock bars and what you going to do is you going to open up the coin door and when you open up the coin door you can reach inside and there's going to be three latches. You have to undo all three latches and then the control panel will drop down. Sometimes it takes a little bit you have to kind of jam the control panel up to actually get it to pull down to get those to unhook but then there you go and you could just drop down the control panel and if you were an arcade operator owner whatever you could go in here and replace buttons and sticks and fix wiring and all sorts of things like that and how it comes down is there's just a single hinge that goes across the whole thing it's actually a pretty cool design and it makes working on the cabinet really easy so i'm looking forward to that now the buttons and sticks were in decent conditions it's using um cherry micro switches i think the i think the sticks are hap i can't actually tell they feel like the originals when you pull out this shelf here this is how you gain access to the pcb so here's where you can actually work on the pcb if you had to rewire anything that you had to or you could go in here and set dip switches for free play or game difficulty and all sorts of things like that so it's really convenient i really love the way this is wired that little wire John Youssi coming out of that board is actually your kick harness for your additional buttons one thing i did notice when i put it back was that there a gap right here so that gap is because whoever did some service on the board they made it so the board wouldn go all the way back so that going to be an easy fix for me I can just get out my saw and just drill or saw out a little section let's get to gameplay all right so Street Fighter 2 was my game guys this was the game in the arcade for me this was my era of arcade gaming and I know a lot of you guys if you're 40 or similar to my age you probably spent tons of time and money in the arcade playing this game and man it just brings back so many awesome memories and you have no idea if you haven't played it on a real arcade cabinet in a long time man it is such a different experience especially with the arcade crt oh now i am having some issues with the crt right now so i'll have to i'll have to fix that and i'll explain that at the end of the video when i do final thoughts Alright, so this is one of my favorite bonus stages of the game and this is hilarious. I mean you're destroying a Lexus I don't know if you guys have seen it. There's a video online of an actual real guy doing this to a car It's literally super funny. I'll play the clip in here and have a link in the description. But yeah guys This has just been awesome I'm gonna have a lot of work on my hands to get this repaired and get it to 100% the way I want it But I'm excited for it. So let's go to final thoughts. We'll wrap this thing up Alright guys there you have it the quick look at the Street Fire 2 Championship Edition pickup So I super excited about this it is a project cab so we have things that we need to do like the color red needs to be fixed, but I believe it's just a cold solder joint on the monitor chassis, so I think that'll be a quick fix, but you never know. This is a project, right? Anything could happen. So if you guys like this video, please like it, consider subscribing to the channel, and put your comments below. Is old school arcade games something you want to get into, or do you feel like it's too much of a headache and you'll stick with your arcade 1-Up or your AtGames or a DIY kit? Which one is for you? Because this is super fun, I'm really excited, and I'm going to take you guys every step of the way and create videos as I learn. So hopefully when I discharge the CRT, I don't actually electrocute and kill myself, because if I do, then it's the end of the channel, and I think I have to give cabinets to certain people. I think the BurgerTime belongs to Derek D. I'm not sure, but we'll have to figure that out at some point. guys that's it for now we will see you on the next one
