Things have changed storage-wise for me, recently inherited non-arcade items need space which means I have to get rid of a bunch of games.
I was saving these for some later projects/ideas, but that won't happen, so time to get rid of some old-school stuff.
As I need the space quite fast, the faster the pickup, the lower the price I'll let it go for. Make me an offer if anything interests you. Most of the games need work, so I'm not expecting fortunes or anything. I just want them to go to a good home.
Games are in Brussels.
Here goes:
Speed Race GP5
Plays blind, so it's a monitor problem. Could be a simple fuse or something more complex, I haven't even looked inside, it's just been sitting in storage.

Vectorbeam Speed Freak
Vector game. Doesn't work. Starts up and makes engine noise then one of the automatic breakers on the PCB goes. Missing side art on one side. Rust on metal parts.

Crossfire
Works. Could do with a cap kit, monitor takes a little time to warm up.

Guided Missile
Displays garbage on screen. Midway L-Shaped boards, I also have 5 spare daughter boards/PCBs I'll throw in. All untested but it could just work by swapping one in.
This game has a blacklight background and 2-way mirror.

M-4
Can't remember if this displays garbage or not, but I don't think it works. Also a blacklight game w/mirror.

Laguna Racer
Doesn't start. Haven't looked into it either, could be anything. Yet another blacklight decor game with 2-way mirror.
Also have 3 spare daughter boards I'll throw in. Untested.

Flying Ducks
Electro-mechanical game. Works. Needs a new blacklight (someone put a normal white tube in there instead) and a couple of bulbs changed.
Bezel is peeling, needs to be stopped. 8-Track player isn't running.
This one is Free, come and get it and it's yours.

OOOOOOhhhhhh, Speed freak !!! Speleo, your alarm bells should be ringing right now !!!
Man that is rare in Europe !!!
I really like all the other old-style Midway games too.....damn if only I had more space.....

Speed Freak may not be the greatest racing game, but the vector graphics were unlike anything seen before on a racing game in 1978:

Better view of the screen, although is probably MAME:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syDQ1GEM-s8&feature=related
Notice:
- the wire frame care coming ahead that is actually following the road
- the flying-over airplane, who had ever thought of that in those days ?
- the massive explosion of car-parts in the end.
Damn......I would seriously consider trading my PD for this....
-
go for it, andré!!!
-
It's a Vectorbeam game..... =Cinematronics technology....
I'm pretty scared of that stuff :P
-
If it helps you decide: the speed freak happens to be stored temporary at my place atm so I could even bring it along with the monitors. ::) ::)
EDIT: I can also provide you some more detailed pictures.

I've never had the game close enough to my bench to really be able to look into it, but I remember reading about the main reason those breakers would go and it wasn't something complex. Then again, who knows what else could follow :)
There's always this (http://www.cinelabs.com/IRM/) in the future too.
-
to motivate for the speed freak. Here's a wip done by a electronic god : http://www.gamoover.net/Forums/index.php?topic=21498.0
it's in french , but can be inspiring. If needed we can try to translate it
-
You have a PM good sir. Those Taito games need a loving home and I can provide one. Also interested in the Speed Freak to go with my other Vectorbeam/Cinematronics games.

Can I help bring them over ? It's time for another visit ;)
-

Guided missile, M4 and cross fire are VERY interesting too...

I'm afraid it will be leaving the country for northern climes. It's all about balance in the gaming universe :)

amen...

Denmark ?
-
It's going to a museum I heard.
If anyone knows of or has a Taito Crossfire - or indeed any 1978-1984 Taito cabs please let me know. I am collecting them.

Must be Denmark then....they also bought my Meteor and MC cabaret....

That Taito Balloon Bomber from 1980 is still for sale in Belgium.
http://nl.kapaza.be/vi/23886649.htm (http://nl.kapaza.be/vi/23886649.htm)
I had some contact with the seller, he's really nice but doesn't really know what he is selling I think.

Thanks! Does he speak English?
-
I don't think so.
Dutch for sure.
I can contact him for you if you tell me what to say.
Also: I'm a big fan of taito cabs from that era, what do you already have in your collection?
-
Hi,
I have messaged him but he hasn't replied to me yet. I sent the message in English so I am wondering if he didn't understand it.
If you could get in contact with him for me that would be awesome!!!
In regards to Taito cabs I have: Sub Hunter, Space Invaders, Space Invaders Part II (non mirror version), Top Bowler.

I will contact him tomorrow.
It took him more than 3 weeks to answer me first.
His add was about a pinball and he was selling a cab so I can assure you that he has no clue what he's selling.
If he answers, I could drop-by next week and take some pics for you.
Nice collection, the taito SI cabs are awesome.
Thanks to some members here I'm the proud owner of a space chaser (greaaaat cab, noooot so great game).
