I recently won a Zero Hour Universal game on eBay Germany. The ad mentioned that the seller had hundreds of arcade games and parts for sale. His warehouses were indeed filled with games, around 900 (!) of them. 90% of them were the typical bartop casino games that you find in German road stop restaurants. The other 10% were a mixed bag, with some classics here and there.

After going through the warehouses and when I was about to leave, I spotted an unusual shaped cab in a corner of the building. I then spotted a Universal logo, and a game's name that I had given up on ever finding: Get A Way!



I quickly turned to the seller. I couldn't manage to stay calm, so it was obvious to him that he had something of value. We agreed upon the price and he promised that he would keep it for me (I had not enough cash money on me). A week of nervousness passed (the seller listed several other cabs on eBay, but luckily not the Get a Way; so glad that he kept his word!) and I went back to the warehouse to pick up the cab.

The seller had moved the cab a bit so I was able to check it out some more. I wasn't sure if the game still had its guts - people had pointed out to me that the game had not been dumped so far - and was thrilled to find out that the pcb was still there. I'm sending the pcb to a tech wizzard for inspection; hopefully he can dump the ROM.



When I was at the warehouse the first time I realized that the seat of the game was missing. I had sent the seller a picture of the flyer and he promised to search the warehouse for the seat. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to locate it.

When we had moved the game out of the warehouse, I saw something that looked like the base of a big arcade game behind it. We took it out, but it turned out to be part of a bowling game. So, bad luck on that... I think I'll try to recreate it from the pic in the flyer.



It will take quite some time and effort to get this up and running, but for now, I'm just  happy to have saved this puppy 

hi all

Hi all

As you may know, I'm trying to get a complete row of Stern games.
Progressing nicely, but I'm running into a problem: lack of cabs!

I need empty cabs for game that came as a kit, like Pop Flamer.
And furthermore, I need donor cabs to perform a couple of transplantations
Stern appears to not have used particularly high quality wood:

• the black generic cabs (with the red Stern logo on the side) are often completely rotten away at the bottom
• the colored cabs often suffer from splitting layers of wood on the side panels

I you have or know of any (empty) Stern cabinets, please let me know.
Will take both types of cabs, only one demand: the wood needs to be in good condition 

Cheers
Marco
