Title: Arcade Manuals anyone???
Post by: Superully on January 21, 2012, 01:16:04 PM
today i received another personal delivery from my american airline(s) friend and (amongst others) he brought with him a whole bunch of manuals :arrow:

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6735565079_7476161d56_b_d.jpg)

he has around 1000 manuals at his place and told me personally to forward this to you: if anyone from this forum is looking for a specific manual, please let me know and i'll pass your wishes on to him. most of the manuals are 10 bucks a piece (except for the rare ones which are more expensive). he'll go through his stock and whatever is available will be delivered to germany for free (no shipping costs ;)). i could then send your manuals off from europe OR i'm sure i'll meet a lot of you guys some time this year!

so once again: i'f you need a manual, just let me know!!! :spaceace:

@bela: don't know, i'd say let me know what you're looking for and i'll forward your wishes!

@chris: added your manuals to the list!

@all: just to clear this up: 10 bucks = 10 DOLLARS (around 8 euros)!

all your wishes have been noted! there's no guarantee that you'll get those manuals, but chances are pretty good a lot of them will be available. i've send him a list of about 30 manuals this week, he only had the time to go through 3 (out of 12) boxes full of manuals and he already found half of them, so i'm confident everyone will score! ;D

one year later!!!

because we have so many new users here (and so many new games already in or about to come in on the next container(s)), let me dig out this thread!

my american friend pat is still flying into germany frequently and still has tons of arcade manuals for sale (the normal ones are 10 bucks a piece, the rare ones 20 or more, but he'll let you know beforehand). so if there's ANYTHING you are looking for (afaik, no zaccaria stuff though), just let me know, i'll compile a list and forward it to him. he could bring all those manuals over to germany personally and i would then forward your manuals to you ...

so guys, which manuals do you need?
Title: Re: Arcade Manuals anyone???
Post by: level42 on April 07, 2013, 06:39:27 PM
Since I sold my VP you can take that off the list....
Title: Re: Arcade Manuals anyone???
Post by: ckong on April 07, 2013, 06:45:48 PM
This is nice.

OK, I still have 3 manuals missing:

Star Wars cockpit
Frogger
Juno first

I haven't got the last two games, but one day ....

does your friend also has original Flyers?

don't know, i'll just add it to the list. chances are he doesn't have what you are looking for, but if he does the manuals are cheap and you don't have to worry about shipping from the usa!
