I live in NJ which seems to be much better supplied with cabinets then a
great deal of the rest of the country...
I actually converted over a MK II cab (which had already been converted to
an SF III) into my blitz. I ended up building the 4-way control panel from
scratch (box and all). It wasn't difficult to do at all and came out pretty
nice. My only problem was finding an overlay for it. I eventually got one
and except for he side-art it works nice... I also have a one-on-one open
ice pcb in the cabinet and can swap between the two by just swapping the
jamma connector and the joy 3 & 4 plugs (I have 8-ways in the cabinet so I
can do this). My JAM cabinet actually has a Surf Planet pcb in it as well,
however I swap whole CP box's to use the special joystick (it's really a fun
game!).
Good luck, and if you need anything else just ask.
best,
steve
