Hello!
I am soon to be the proud owner of a Capcom CPS-1 Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting Champion Edition Coin-Operated Arcade System!
Back in the 1980's and 1990's, there was a shop on Market Street named Faulisi's Newsstand. It could have been there before the 80's, but I was not born until March 14th of 81, so I do not know. My brother would go there with me and we would play this exact arcade. They went out of business and this arcade was sitting in a garage, wasting away.
During middle school and high school, we'd sneak into Faulisi's and try taking a peak at the dirty magazines and Mr. Faulisi's would give us the boot! It was the hot spot of my town for a long time.
There is a coin-counter in this machine and it shows 44,076 quarters passed through it.
The game boots up, which is good, but this arcade needs some work. I want to replace the cabinet, replace the marquis. I want to restore it.
The current cabinet I do not think is original. I believe it's the same cabinet that was in Faulisi's but the marquis on the very top was cut to fit the cabinet and it looks more like the CPS1 board was placed in this cabinet.
I was thinking of using original parts but I am having some issues finding them. Does anyone have any experience with arcades? The coin mechinism appears to work, the jamma wire harness is there, but not all the wires are hooked up. The test switch has been disconnected. I was thinking of just rewiring the harness where needed. But I'd like to try and keep it as original as possible and I am not sure what type of connectors where on the end of those wires...
Does anyone want to help me find the parts to restore this or want to talk about it? I've always wanted an arcade. On the side, it looks like theres glued down decals, but I do not think they are supposed to be there on the official cabinet. I was looking at the Arcade Mueseum and they have a picture of what I believe is the original cabinet.
I do not think the buttons are original either. Six buttons by the joystick for each player. Top row are red, bottom are yellow. Then above the coin slots are two white buttons that I believe are start buttons. I'd like to find an original joy stick / button do-dad, but I am not certain what the original for the USA version looked like.
Thanks!
