Meetings, Exhibition, Events... / The Arcade Experience in Cambridge

In celebration of getting the museum cabs up and running again,  Ianski, t-m and nes4life will be running 'The Arcade Experience', a public arcade gaming event, on 2nd September 2017 at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge (UK). We're planning on getting over 20 arcade machines into the museum and creating a classic arcade experience for an evening. There'll be all the usual museum exhibits and computers (mainly running arcade conversions), a licensed bar, blaring 80s music, classic cabs, a high-score competition and the best food only a burger van can provide!

Those attending from the forum will get entry into the museum all day Saturday for just the cost of attending in the evening (i'll get a code and a link up soon). We'll be sure to get a cab list up but if you know Ianski's collection then you're half way there!

Get involved guys!

'Business' Area : Buy/Sell/Trade / FOUND! PCBs - Konami Simpsons (2 player) & Asterix

FOUND!
My 30th birthday is just around the corner (30th Sept) and so I'm looking to get Konami The Simpsons (2 player) and Asterix PCBs as a present to myself.

Neither have to be working perfectly (as I like attempting to fix minor faults over time) but must at least run and play.

Thanks all!

It's happening next Saturday! If you're coming then buy your ticket online now!
Looking forward to meeting you all and fixing those cabs.
If you've got a faulty PCB then bring it along.

All the rest / My new app!

Hey guys,
Apologies if you've seen this on another forum but I'm pretty excited as my app update was accepted by the AppStore.

In my spare time (other then retrogaming & collecting!) I also make iOS apps
I'm shamelessly plugging my new app:

Discover Films for iTunes
https://appsto.re/gb/kmqAF.i

Please download & review it. I'd love some feedback!

Cheers!

For those who are interested in the eBay auction - I got this feedback from the seller:

- I don't mind waiting 30 days for collection [due to where I live]
- [concerning why it's on eBay and not a forum] I put this up on eBay first just to see how much interest I could gather on here before posting on the forums like JAMMA+ and UK-VAC.
- I can't tell you the reserve as that wouldn't be fair on other bidders hoping to buy, I would advise to bid what you would be willing to pay :)
- Unfortunately, I have never seen the [top] screen working for switching games, only occasionally during game play - And I couldn't tell you what type of fault it is as I haven't investigated it for myself. I'm sure if there is a enthusiast buyer it would be easily fixed, could even fix itself after a clean out.

What do you guys think?

Nice haul! No pics of the Mega-techs... but I have a feeling they're just same-old same-old in comparison to the other stuff ;)

So... you selling the Juke box / Wurlitzer?  :D

You're right, a 99p start and an unspecified reserve price is a recipe for disaster!
I certainly wouldn't pay top dollar for a cab with an intermittent top monitor.

Like I said, I'll continue with forumites. It's funny that I've not seen any for a while and then 3 come along at once though! I've fired off a string of questions to the eBayer so I can share replies here - but rest assured I'm still doing business with jinxz first.
