Thanks to Superully, I now have this gem of a game!
Negotiations started bu accident at EC12, and we quickly agreed on a price, it was wrapped almost instantly, so all i needed to do was arrange the courier.... bear in mind this was October last year (!) - but apparently work comes first so fast forward till Sunday last week.
Wrote Dachser (http://www.dachser.com/de/de/index.htm), and got a quick reply on Monday, they picked up the game Tuesday, and delivered it to day (Thursday) Speaking about fast delivery, and great service!!!, and the price... 150€ cheap!
Here´s the game in storage with the other gems:

@michael: that was not just fast, it was SUPERfast - now let's see how superfast those straps arrive back at my place :P

Dont forget the fees for the work done by trying to save the monitor ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wont promise anything, but they where posted today - and postage was... are you sitting down??... 280DKK, thats 38€...!!!! Insane, and they where 4 Kilos!!! - Imagine the shipping price if one kilo was 7.5€... :o
Unwrapped the game today, and really really liked what i saw (http://www.pouet.net/gfx/titles/coupdecoeur.gif)
There´s hardly any scratches in the bezel, and the monitor overlay is freaking MINT

This game is excellent for those who get confused by complex controls: One button. That's it :)

holy smokes - are you serious? if i wouldn't need them anytime soon now (and if they weren't patrik's to begin with), i would have asked you to bring them to eurocade. 38 euros is INSANE!!! thanks for posting them anyway ...

unfortunately you can't say that for the vinyl - you need to think of something to fix that / save it. if it stays like that, i'll deteriorate! so glad that you are happy with the overall condition of the machine. i'll be honest here: seeing those pictures makes me miss it somehow, but the game is in good hands at your place and i'm sure i'll be able to play it one day!!! have fun, michael :)

WTF?? Shipping them to Denmark from Germany would have been 15€ (with DHL) :o
-
Hey, they have to pay for all those strikes they have there....
-
That cab came a loooong way ::)
Glad it stays in the family though 'cause it's such a cool game!

I've good memories on the ZX81 port of the game, but can't remember what was the name of that 'non official' portage...
Love that cabinet! :-*

The box was made of pallet leftovers..

Some screen burn...

I installed the monitor, and because it came from another old Atari game, it was an easy Plug and Play, of course i forgot to take a picture of it, but it wasent working, instead there was smoke coming from this :-\

did Ully also send you the Original chassis ? might be worth a try...
-
Aaaargh, nooooo!
I checked it a long time ago and it was working.
Damn! Sorry Michael :(
Etienne's suggestion could definitely work as the CB was working before somebody broke it's monitor neck.
-
Hed did send the original chassis, but its not the excatc same monitor, TBH i didnt try because the two chassis didnt match, but maby it would work - il have to investigate that further...
