Today it's Roadtrip Time 8)
After a long time of inactivity, I decided to leave my den from where I hibernated.
today I use a weapon of massive safeguard of the 'rétro patrimoine' (french copyright) : D.
To constitute of a vehicle which with already proven reliable I decided to pass to the serious things by adding true to him a trailer 8).
Two axles supporting each one 750Kg what leaves what transport all the reasonable cabinet until R-360 ;D (not on the car manages to tractor draw :-X)

This I say will not seek R-360.
In fact, the objective is to recover a doubles screen cab in “Mint” condition. The owner with have evil to release it but good, considering the state that is worth the blow ^-.
The second is great classic of Taito with Gun. I saw some passing two to the sorrow y' has one month 1/2 :? , of the blow I folds back itself above.
And finally the last a atari which I will have tendency to call “credits”.
I will ask you for a small silence minute: (to the attention of Nikos69 which prefers outward journey boser rather than to accompany me: D.
Before leaving in roadtrip it is essential to feed
Appointment is thus taken with the "SUPER U" (french super market) with my wife :D

After a good small meal and the desistance from Nikos69 8) (Hello Nikos ;) ).
Direction the adventure and beyond.
I benefit from a small installation to ensure me that the road is always there - > photo memory.
Is necessary to say that the copilot having released me (not reliable these small sizes that fall from sleep) I had to stop me to check the road.

Arrived on site and after a few moments here us are at sharp of the subject. They are there : -)= and fully functional. I like the life ;).
More than one year that I had located them. Following my mishap of at the beginning of June (two opé Wolf and a roadblaster inter alia to the bucket :O ) I organize myself to recover all the cabinet located. It is necessary to make quickly to save alls the cab >: D.

Arrived at 2Kms of the house, the 'tuille' :(, meets with a reaping-machine threshing-machine launched at full speed.
I am so tired it is close to 21H, the sun gives signs of tiredness. It remains to descend the cabinets and there is no light in my place of storage :-(( (http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/4008/16zp9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

And, if you noted it there were three cabs to recover at the beginning of the adventure :D It is there, the last cab in state “mint” for the owner (I do not have this opinion but good…). It is about a megatech from SEGA, technically it acts of mégadrive. And, just like concurent it Nintendo PLAYCHOICE 10 this cab is equipped with two screens. The screen top being used to select a play (see the rules). It is especially it which with justified my displacement. The sytème 1 and opé Wolf being easier to find.

Hi Wanou,
Thanks for sharing your latest roadtrip with us , and writting it in english :o
I see you have a trailer with two axes... I'm already jealous :oops: ... the perfect weapon to bring back our beloved babies :lol: :lol:
So all the games are running ? That's cool :) All theses cabs seems to be in a very good shape :o
The Sega Mega-Tech is not a common cab, congrat for finding a working one (the small screen on top is usually non working... I hope yours is fine ?)
Take care about your new babies... but ... Do you have enough free space in your house :roll: :wink:

Hello
I bought the trailer especially for the after burner deluxe :P .
I already found it but I do not have the place to store it for the moment.
My gameroom is not available :cry:
Indeed, the three cabs are functional.
The opé Wolf and system 1 side art are diluted but it is not too serious.
The small screen top of the megatech is beautiful, no burn :D because the cab with very little turned. Only 1700 parts.
I bought for my future game room which will make 45m².
But with this rithme it will be full for the opening :twisted:

Operation Wolf, probably one of the best shooter game Everrrrrrrrr :!:
ps: yesterday i was cleaning my coinsole room and i found the 2 buttons for your cocktail tabe :?

Nice score ! Especially the Sega Mega-Tech. Good luck in finding room for them, that problem is so recognizable (if that's English :? )
Let us know when you fire them up, curious just like Bruno if the top-screen of the Sega Mega-Tech works.
Your story really makes me wanna do a roadtrip a once again.
Keep up the arcade life style !
