Did we ever get the Jamma harness made? Can we share that info with the community? Too awesome!

Sadly the Duo hasn't been Jamma-fied yet. *pokes BMW* :)

Excellent. Then I will stealthily sneak into your home at night and extricate the cab without any disturbances.

I'm guessing you're going to get the duo rgb modded so you can use one of VileTim's rgb to jamma adapters from the shmup.com forums.  They work great.

I'm probably about to botch a bunch of terminology, but the idea is the have a jamma fingerboard coming out of the duo that can be plugged directly into a jamma harness in the cabinet. I'm not sure anyone has ever actually done such a thing before, but I have faith blue can modify a Duo that way. :)

Yeah, my apologies. I've sat around on this cab doing nothing for far too long. I'll keep you guys posted. :)

Why a Duo?  I'd use a Turbo, then you can hide it away, like an ugly, shameful disfigurement :)

Originally these cabs had modified PC Engines in them. I'd love to get one of those modified PC Engines some day. In fact I bid what I thought was a shit ton on one recently and lost. :( Anyway, I figure if I'm putting something custom in there, might as well be able to play CD and SuperCD games! :D You can't tell me you don't want to play Gate of Thunder on a cab. :D

Oh I saw a couple on eBay recently - this one seems like not-too-expensive

Nice find! I saw one of these at a local fair many years ago and haven't seen one since. It was playing Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf of all games, lol. Needless to say I spent my quarters on the Ghouls N Ghosts machine next to it. Cool looking machine, hope you get it all up and running.
