It took 2 hours of stripping it down to get it small and light enough to lift into my house, and I've been cleaning it out and rebuilding it over the weekend. It took him a while to find one, but at the end of November he managed to source one. On september the 27th, this is the reply I got: "I can get you a full Diva cabinet, no problem". I sent an email to a local Sega arcade repair guy (Andy at AGS / Sega Shed) and he gave me the details of a guy in the Netherlands who imports cabinets from Japan: Ronnie at RKLOK. Initially I thought finding an empty chassis or even one of the other games that uses the same main body (Border Break, Shining Force Cross etc) and putting my control panel on it and making some artwork. A big dream, but nothing to loose by looking. I considered setting up a dedicated PC on a small table elsewhere, but really wanted to see if I could get the whole cabinet. The only downside is that I've been using it on my main PC which can be a bit inconvenient as it's huge and makes it impossible to use the pc for other things when not playing without moving it all out of the way, in turn making me play the game less or just being lazy and using an Xbox controller.
Since last August I've been playing the Future Tone arcade rip using this adapted arcade control panel on my PC, which has been great, with perfect touch slider and Sanwa buttons.
