Title: WTB Pole Position steering wheel
Post by: Arch on August 18, 2015, 02:10:28 PM

Hi,
I would like to buy a Pole Position steering wheel in good shape. Just the wheel itself, as I have the rest. Pickup on Eurocade possible.

Aaah! Thanks for getting it out of storage and snapping pictures, DarthNuno. I'm afraid that this is a bit too bent for me. I might be able to bend it back, but then again I might not, and then buying it is a bit too risky.
But thanks again!  :)

No problem.  8)
Although everything is possible, I'm also thinking bending back that wheel won't be an easy job. I mostly keep that set because the panel itself is still usable...

Like all those old wheels the gum feels a little 'gluey'

Oooh, nice Luigi! :D That one will clean up nicely I think. How much do you want for it? I guess you are coming to Eurocade? Will it be possible to do the exchange there?

Man, please film your check-in at the airport when you return home with it.... ;D

Haha, will do! :) In fact it is not the first time I bring home arcade related stuff from the continent. I did have a hard time bringing my NOS Firepower backglass into the cabin with me last year, but I did manage to sweet talk the air hostess into it.  :wink:

Etienne, can you perhaps print one of those for me to pick up at Eurocade? Looks great!

Case closed - I'm wheeling a deal with Luigi.  :wink:
