Title: FS: Grand Champion cockpit (for parts)
Post by: Q*ris on November 16, 2011, 04:00:01 PM
I'm finally selling this guy here.
The outside cab condition is still nice but the inside is quite rough.
No PCB (apparently it had been hacked into a Konami GT).
Gazilions of pictures available here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/~chrischris/arcade/dust/Grand_Champion.zip) for those interested.

The cab is currently stored at THE BASE (in Belgium near Nivelles).
Flood me with your offers  ;)...

Pictured cool arcade kid not included of course.
Thanks!

The outside is fine but the control panel really need a lot of TLC, check the pics.
Too much work for me and I'm not really into driving games.

Good luck for the sale Chris! ;)

Must say i´m interested in the whole shabang, but, i´m currently out of storage space....

And - the PCB on ebay is for the UR, the Cockpit uses a whole different PCB....

Great looking cabinet - the Japanese version too!

Of all the pics I've seen of this cab, this is the first time I noticed the box section on the upper back!

Thanks guys!
@ Muerto: Although one of the goal of this sale is to make some space in the gameroom; if you want it I would gladly store it a while longer. Just let me know. ;)

Cool that's awesome news. Just gutted I could not take it in the end and it being converted didn't help. I just haven't the time to convert it back and chase the parts.

Well done guys!

Anybody know what the Cockpit PCBs look like? I have two Grand Champion Boards which I might part with, one is a sound board, the other one a CPU board (which seems to look like the one from the Ebay auction).

I was told that the PCB differes from the UR and the Cockpit.
I can´t get to my atm, sorry....

He's not a DLF member, he collects mainly 50's electro mechanical games but would like to add a few "modern" racers to his gameroom.

Aaaaaaahahahahaha!!! Modern???!!!! Hehehehehe - it´s from 1981, though, it´s 30 years younger that the other stuff he collects....
But great to hear it´s going to a good home.

Bumping this.

I would potentially be interested in getting in contact with the new owner!
Title: Re: FS: Grand Champion cockpit (for parts)
Post by: Q*ris on February 09, 2015, 12:36:46 AM
I'll contact him but I honestly don't think he's selling.
Also it's just a shell now, parts have been donated to fellow collectors.
