DaveyPocket here.

John, I must say it's pretty cool that you have a forum on your website now, especially since it's mostly focused on the Vs. System cabinet.

I have two Vs. Unisystem cabinets, one is a DK Jr. converted into a Dr. Mario (which I'm currently cosmetically restoring, particle board really sucks) and the other is... a Dr. Mario! (without the motherboard, control panel, marquee) which is in a blue cabinet. Though looking at the dates on the monitor, it says it was made in 1984, I'm not sure if this cabinet was sold as a Vs. Unisystem or a converted DK. I'm thinking about converting it to a Popeye since I have all the parts or another game (DKII?). I also own a Pac-man and Space Invaders Deluxe, but I'm here to talk about Vs. System stuff  Cheesy

Just letting you all know, I am very technically inclined and having been designing electronic devices, repairing arcade machines, and working with lots of other electronic stuff for quite a while, I can help with repair questions.

Currently, I'm hacking around with the Vs. System boards, I'll post some short threads of the progress when that happens.

(Long intro?  Grin)
