Hey Arcade1Up fans!

We've seen questions from the community about some older Arcade1Up cabinets showing up at discount retailers, and we want to clear things up.

These units are not from Basic Fun. We didn't sell, distribute, or supply this inventory, and it's not connected to our current product line.

We also know a few of you have run into issues with these units, including some that arrived broken or with power adapters that don't match your outlet. We're sorry to hear that, and we want to make sure you're taken care of. Because these units predate our current warranty program (anything manufactured before 2023), they fall outside our standard warranty coverage. That said, if you need replacement parts or accessories, our customer service team is ready to help however we can.

We appreciate the passion this community has for Arcade1Up, and we're glad to see these cabinets still finding new homes. Reach out to us any time. We're here to help.

Went into Ollie’s hoping to find a MvC2 cab and ended up finding this mixed in with Ms Pac Man and regular MvC2!

Should I add something else to it?

Broke 200,000 back in 2023, and finally beat that high score a few weeks ago! Now, all of my high scores are 200,000+ and I'm chasing 250,000! 😃

Primarily looking for anyone else this might have happened to with this batch from this weekend's sale and if they're getting the same response. Secondly im wondering if there is a specific cable I need, will a generic 12v 3a fry my cabinet? Or does anyone sell the interchangeable region plugs for the power brick

I recently got a steal on a turtles cab but the attack button doesn't work for Donnie. Also, it was missing a bat/ball/knob for Mikey. I only paid $125 at a garage sale so it wasn't a bad deal still. Anyways, I'm reading that the buttons are 28mm so you have to buy the right size buttons. Are they not standard size? More importantly though, eBay has a OEM purple button but it's $10. The new knob/bat/ball is also $10. Is this a rip off and if it is can you please point me in the right direction? I wouldn't mind spending more than the $20 if it means upgrades but I'm not trying to heavily mod it.

The second half of this question is also relevant to the first. Where do I get 8 gate sticks for SF and MvC? Might as well replace everything annoying me at one and arcade 1up made a huge mistake with 4 gate sticks for these machines. It's so hard to 1/4 and half circle! 😂 Any links or websites for anything/everything would be sick! Thanks and cheers!

I was never happy with the old Final Fight release. Not a fan of the old risers and the shark fin cab shape. So I bought a SF 14 in 1 deluxe. Based on a proper cab shape and I changed the side medallions, bezel, marquee and lit the coin slots. Found a nice warm yellow t mould colour to match the artwork. I wanted it to look as faithful as possible. I decided not to touch the CPO artwork. I kinda like it looking like this. Final fight never had a dedicated cab, it was always a conversion kit. But I’m very happy with it. Little side note for anyone who doesn’t know, the movie Streets of Fire was the main inspiration for Capcom Japan to make Final Fight. I do have one little addition left I’m working on. Cut a key down to the twist grip, glue it to the fake coin slot and have a little Hagar Gashapin keyring having from it - just to make it look like an operating coin mech!

Got this at Ollie’s on sale. I hope she lets me keep it…..$320 with tax

If you live in any of these states:

Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Your chances are pretty good at picking one up today for $300. I always wanted a MvC2 and called around and finally got one. Also, seen so many pop up on Facebook Marketplace by lowlife scalpers scooping them up and reselling them for $750-800. So call first and ask before making the trip, you may be surprised.

Big pallet of them right at the entrance. Where has this stock been this entire time? I would never expect it to show up here after so many years. Why didn’t Spreetail sell it on their ebay site?

It that a MVC2 cab?
