Hey there guys!
I found my holy grail and today we decided to pick it up.

Since the seller was selling the cab and at a very fair price I decided to buy him a little (dutch) present ;D

I forgot to take a picture of it unpacked so for the curious people it was "oranje bitter" ( a dutch liquor) :P
Hmm a rainy day.... :-\

All in all a very succesful day!

Wow! Congratulations! :)
I also have this Robotron cab, and I love it!
-
Euro Robotron with Suzo sticks
Nice catch !
-
Great find, congrats :spaceace:
-
Now that's a cool catch!
I'm sooo bad at robotron but in the same time I really love it's hyper frantic action.
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Cool cab, congrats.
Is it working?
-
Yeah, nice nice cab. You should keep the sticks I think. They look like they are extra punishing :)
-
Heavy driver! Heavy roadtrip! Heavy cabinet at the end!
Robotron Rulez!!! Need one too! :P
What else?

Very nice cab, i wouldn't mind owning that. :)
-
Wow nice find !!!
Well, at least you had some practice playing Robotron on my Joust cab with these wacky Suzo sticks ! :):)
Congrats and pretty long road trip for (almost completely) our little country ! ;D
-
Cool cab, congrats.
Is it working?
Not yet....we are 90% sure that there is a problem with the power supply. Vond is currently looking at it.
Wow nice find !!!

I sure did! ;D I got my personal highscore on your cab :D
-
It's an honor Xentraz :):)
I wonder what kind of lousy sticks there were in there originally. You would expect them to be Wico's like the US version, and those are supposed to be nice quality joysticks right ?
Weird.....I wonder if my Joust and your Robotron were once at the same place because they got the same sticks hacked in :)
Luckily I have a set of NIB/NOS Wico's waiting for mine :)

This is mine, and afaik it's original.

Haha Slowcade, I love the ashtray on that one, pretty good thinking actually to preserve the cab! 8)

Some pics of the inside.. ;D

Yes! I thought about removing it at first, but I'll keep it "original". It came from a local arcade. The op had ashtrays on more or less all of his games, and it obviously did wonders for the cpo in this case. :)

Some pics of the inside.. ;D
Looks like it's in quite nice condition! Congratulations again! :)
-
Congratulations, that is a very nice catch. I love Robotron, it is such a frantic game. :)

Ha! I just remember you and Xentraz talking at the hotel bar at Eurocade '13 and she was telling you how much she'd love to have a Robotron cab! 8) And here we are now :D
-
Nice catch! very clean inside.
This is the second time i see that "transparent" monitor plastic cover: the first time was when i opened my euro joust some year ago :D

Those don't really look like Wico's or am I wrong ? I think the Wico's have longer shafts. I'd love to see a pic of the inside of that CP. Are they leaf or microswitch (let's hope not) ?

Wow!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
