Lol, the very first thing that went through my head when I saw the pics appear in the OP were "Oh you lucky motherf***er..."

And you are! Congratulations.

Wow. You lucky. You very, very lucky.

I always wondered why I never heard of anyone here every getting a Darius super widerscreen cabinet? Seems like the ultimate Arcade experience to me... man, I got to get a bigger place and I got to get my hand on all the Darius Arcade games already... even before I get any of the Gradius ones...

Monitors look like in great condition too, colors are consistent across all three.
How did you find this? Awesome pickup.

I'd love to have a DBAC cab but due to logistics, space, etc. I've only got the PCB.
I also have a Darius 2 PCB and a non-working Darius 1.

I saw that too. :D It's in bad shape, but it's just what I'm looking for. Maybe you saw that thread I posted looking for dimensions on this cab so I could build one. This meets that need and then some. So hopefully in the near future there will be a restoration/rebuilding thread for this. And I'll hopefully produce some schematics for this too. :mrgreen:

Darius comes with 3x 13" monitors. They are all k7000 wells gardners.

The back monitor pops off for shipping and slides inside the game.
