Thanks y'all
Also, I may as well advertise this here, I'm getting rid of my EXTREMELY FIXER-UPPER Neo-Geo machine for next to nothing, check it out here: www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?236510 I could help whoever wants this to fix it, though I can't guarantee I can do absolutely everything (plus I'd want you to help with it (I can teach you if you can't solder, crimp etc)).
It could easily run a PC/consoles by replacing the monitor (I have a 21" VGA CRT I'd give away to put in it) and adding some wiring (not very hard). It can run a JLF with Sanwa or Seimitsu screw-ins with some minor modding (since everyone hates American controls these days). Could give it a 6 button layout by drilling out 3 holes on top of the BCD buttons for a "straight 6" layout. Could even plug the hole for button A (ha ha ha "plug the A hole") if you seriously don't want that pesky weak punch KOF button in your way.
Contact me if you're interested.
