Well, at long last I managed to plug in all the games that work at my place tonight as had a visitor Superully come to collect some machines. Its a bit dark and gloomy in places but I'll have to work on illumination for these videos :)
 
Anyhow, 28 cabs running and thought it worth taking a few shots anyhow:

I might be able to help with parts... I certainly got a 9/10 glass bezel... maybe a marquee...

Cheers Rav

Ive got an atari centipede one, it still moves fairly freely and th eballs not that munched so perfectly usable.
Can take a pic tomorrow if interested...

How does £20 sound?

CABS FOR SALE:
This list is now kinda sorted into: price-condition-name:

 Just been through this list to update it - and add a breif description now its not 100s of cabs!
Pictures of the machines are at http://www.retrokade.com/sales
 

ALL PRICES ARE IN UK STERLING.

150-u-Virtua Striker
Not tested this yet. Was working. Have NOS Side art to replaced ripped stuff on it. Also comes with VS2 Control panel and Nos VS1 CPO - everything to make this machine a minter and have some modern stick spares.
 
150-np-pole position
Chassis taken out but with cab, I think its a worker. Replacement steering wheel as one on it is bent is included - got bent when t he cab fell forward off my trolley. The wood either side of the wheel have some minor crushing but the wheel took the brunt. The namco PCB is with another collector atm. I have a booty (all customs hacked) untested pole position PCB thou. Side art nice
 
150-nm-sega mega tech
Main monitor isn't running, little one and cab is. Carts in the machine are Columns, Alter Beasts, Afterburner, Astro Warrior, Golden Axe, Ghouls'n Ghosts, Tetris and Sonic the Hedgehog.
 
150-u-Colony 7 Taito (JAMMA)
Taito Qix shell that has been converted to JAMMA in the past. I made a Colony 7 control panel marquee and bezel fit. Game board is infamous for being romswappable to defender and so very rare. Pedestal base bust but easy to fix. Currently undecided if I'll let this go actually...
 
225-nm-mortal kombat 2
Not sure if the monitor works on this one - pretty sure the chassis maybe dead... PCB isn't well either as I've tried it on my test rig. Have brand new buttons (and sticks) to really make that control panel work wonders. Nice side art, great cab, of course JAMMA..
 
250-np-1942
Capcom upright. Has repro 1943 side art on although its bubbled a bit but would stick down again with some more glue. The black vinyl on one side has peeled but is complete and again could be stuck back easily. Bezel is Perspex with a 1943 bezel behind. Street fighter 1 control panel (i have PCB marquee and maybe bezel still if someone whats to make it a street fighter again). Cabs JAMMA with adapter for commando. PCB dead. I think the monitors ok - cant remember! Have a 1943 cpo somewhere too
 
250-np-Alpine Ski
Worked last time I turned it on although I think some minor graphics glitches. Although dedicated Taito m.2 cab would make nice JAMMA cab (gasp)! Side art and artwork nice all round actually.
 
250-u-neo geo 6-slot
Monitor isn't working - not investigated why it died. Board is working. illuminated panel never worked iirc. no carts in the cabinet, but if people want to get them I have blues journey, metal slug 1, pulstar, puzzle bobble, super sidekicks 3, top players golf and world heroes2 that we can do a deal on.
 
250-w-toobin
Working fine. Cab in nice condition, green bias it quite high on the monitor and perhaps needs adjusting but all working very nicely!
 
275-nm-stun runner
Cabinet working, can hear the game running blind - yes the monitor died over the winter (was a wg7000 series new I put in).
 
300-nm-virtua racing
Plugged in the other day, working boards but the vertical deflection on t he monitor has collapsed - the top half of the picture a single line and only 1-2 inches of bottom half showing. Side art nice, cant remember if force feedback worked.
 
350-np-Centipede project
Complete cab as a project for someone to do and finish off. New trackball and rollers fitted, CPO included but not fitted, bezel has bottom scratched black and marquee is fine. Also brand new blue inner bezel for it. No back door. Also complete wiring harness uncut included. no monitor atm but loads of unknown condition ones on the shelf. PCB being repaired. Also to be included if a full set of centipede side art from arcadeshop so someone can make this a peachier than peach cab if they put the effort in.
 
350-np-Elevator Action
Not tested recently as g07 chassis not in cab atm - but it should work. PCB didn't work last time i tried it however. Has nos overlay installed nice bezel and marquee. in very tidy shape. Looks like original wiring (i seem to recall it was JAMMA but i could be wrong). Nice rare horizontal cab.
 
350-np-silent scope
Monitor works, power supply issue (not juicing enough +5 to run the PCBs) so not knowing if the PCBs work. did buy new PSU for it but it blew up when i tried it :( So waiting for replacement. Never played this one but it arrived working when I picked it up.
 
350-w-ice cold beer
Taitel prize version, working. great game, great condition. not sure why I'm selling it LOL so another I might change my mind ;)
 
350-u-Tokyo wars
Mostly working - I think a PCB set has a ram chip error. I have 2-3 spare sets to go with this cab however. very tidy, complete - oh and sound doesn't work in one of the seats for some unlooked at reason.
 
375-np-roadblasters
Monitor works - cab in nice condition. The main PCB edge connector to the daughter board is fooked but never got round to repairing it. Maybe that's all that wrong with it... Nice control panel too!
 
425-nm-Omega Race
Playing blind. Cab in nice condition indeed. Monitor not working. All original and the lights working control panel nice. tidy piece again I like but might consider a quick sale.
 
450-w-Pacmania
Fully working, colour a bit blue so needs setting the RGB biases and drives and re-balance it. I have just purchased a NOS Atari stick to replace the German one on it.Side art nice, sound sometimes dims as thou amps on the way out perhaps...
 
500-w-Domino Man
Just got this working again. Cab artwork is in lovely condition and looks fantastic! original wiring Linear and pcbs. Monitor has some heavy screen burn but still a nice picture. Cab needs a bit of suring up as it took a hit in shipping but is just a case of osome internal battonning and not a biggie. A unqiue and lovely machine!
 
500-np-Defender Project 2
Currently a pile of parts. At the moment it has a hyper sport control panel, PCB and wiring inside. I think the monitor didn't work. I have to be installed/included marquee, bezel, CPO, buttons (not sure i have spare stick). need wiring harness. can include non-working PCB set in the price too. Side art 5/10. hardboard back door i made included
 
550-np-Defender project-1
This ones better and much closer to working. i have priced with a non-working PCB set in it and missing wiring harness. brand new control panel buttons rebuilt stick and CPO. bezel nice but dusty, marquee. Side art 5/10. need wiring harness and TLC. hardboard back door i made included.
 
550-w-crazy taxi
Working original crazy taxi with seat, and in very nice condition. lovely picture and most artwork is intact. has original topper and brand new foam seat on it.
 
550-w-roadrunner
Fully working - nice marquee, control panel and good picture. Joystick is a Mk. 1 hall effect so feels quite slack (they felt like that anyway) but works. Would sell the road runner as a kit for £250 and keep the shell. Side art in good nick iirc.
 
650-np-Tac/Scan
Sick. Monitor is now not working but can hear defection chatter so HV problem? we didn't even get to try the PCBs but before the monitor went it was drawing the game as dots. has a PC PSU in stalled for better power but again just not working. Cab leans a bit and needs leg levelers and one side at the bottom leveling out. Such a brilliant game - just too much attention needed and also with that g08 it need s constantly to be watched and not left on to catch fire LOL!
 
725-w-Phoenix
Fully working and in immaculate condition. most beautiful side art, and coin door you've ever seen (with centuri logo). Game plays and monitor looks nice. Control panel is 9.10 but will come with a nos CPO. this cab would be 10/10 if I replaced the 9/10 CPO but that's a crime in my eyes!
 
800-w-Food Fight
Cab in nice shape - lovely artwork - fully working. picture to die for. installed the nos CPO and put new t-molding on. this cabs looks beautiful. has a lose bit of wood near the marquee that needs gluing and clamping and some work near the control panel but no artwork damaged and in the white. will then look 9/10 when finished. a beautiful; piece and cracking game
 
800-w-Juno First
Fully working. hah PCBs in cocktail mod e- must flip that switch! I think one direction on t he joystick wasn't working but that's just down to dirty connection on the board. good picture, cab in 8/10 condition and side art in nice shape. CPO original and 8/10 also. don't really want to sell but the price reflects this at this point. Very likely to be taken off for sale some time soon.
 
800-w-Bubble Bobble
This cab works apart from there is no sound from the PCB. Cabinet is a joust underneatht he balck paint. Romstar sideart is very nice - I have A3 sized custom side art that I bought that could be put on. Can get pictures. Ive also just ordered a monitor bezel from mamemarquees.com so it'll look nice and that will be included. Monitor has some heavyish screen burn. Control panel is a Romstar Generic abut in good condition. The BB stickers have worn a bit though. I have NOs romstar CPO and side art for and extra £50 if someone wishes to realyl go to town. Again only for sale for space issues.
 
900-n-robotron
Euro Roby (black one). New CPO installed and new  nice sticks. no monitor bezel. us marquee cut down. I just got the PCBs (well main and ROM) to work on the test bench (ribbon cable issue) and the monitor works. just installed switcher for power reliability but can be removed as linear works still. Side art is 8/10 but the cab is a bit worn at the bottom. been filled by previous collector I got it from. just needs spraying black. Front at the bottom is missing 2" of wood and a bigger patch job required. Noticed theres no pictures of this at the moment. I'll remedy this next week once the PCBs are back in and working.
 
950-np-joust 2
Reluctant sale, but space and if someone made an offer it would go. has exploding Williams side art not the joust rider on it. PCB might have an issue - i forget. I think the monitor works but missing the wg7000 adjustment board so draws flat line at the moment. CPO, bezel and marquee immaculate. genuine Williams rarity - again only up for grabs temporarily as i make room!
 
1000-w-Class of 81
Fully working, lovely pictures. was bought virtually brand new. plays ms pac and galaga (Easter egg pac-man also available). Nice side art front art, CPO immaculate and needs a clean 9-10/10 cab!
 
1000-np-reactor
Lovely side art 9/10. new CPO and brand new at the time trackball installed. Marquee is mint but have spare which would be included. Definitely has power issue so not sure at the PCB end if its working or not. Cracking cab! Cracking sounds and another sad one to see go....
 
Under offer:
dragons lair 2
xevious
zookeeper
pac-land

EDIT: Youve posted better rates already than when I just wrote this.... :)

Wow! 900 KM one way (560 miles to me) I just did one of those albeit dropping cabs off all day but still there was no ferry/tunnel etc. Thers no way in the world you could do it!

As for vans I would recommend a Long-Wheel base [LWB] High roof Van, but your dimensions look right for that: The rear wheels can take up allot of room in a medium wheel base. I was very impressed with a Citreon I rented recently for the height, and in the past ivecos can hold loads of cabs, sprinters are good (I owned one once) but not necessaily good on the height. VWs look ok too. You certainly shouldnt need tail lifts, lutons and although Bruno might suggest otherwise - I wouldnt trailer that distance either!

But before going off the subject of van-hire.... I cant understand why a vechile you can hire is 230 Euros a day! For the following examples, Ill convert that to UKP as its easier for me :) Thats equal to £200 UKP.

The local company I use charge £75 each day for 1-2 days. thats £150. At the weekend its £135 for the whole weekend. They quote mileage maximus but Ive never seen anyone even notice!
But the same company has a sliding scale and it gets cheaper the longer you hire. 7 days totals £245 - which is interesting as 4 days on the same scale is £245 and for themt hats when unlimited mileage kicks in! Yes this is over your daily rates but a little but it still shows how even if it sat on your drive for 3-5 days doing nothing its still cheaper than what your quoting for 2-days hire! Are you sure youve got your figures right?

If the dates we talked about are on the cards, your welcome to stay here - play a few games - get Oll/Alpha1 over etc (hes local to me) :) Weathers better now and a few games even work and can ask the landlord for permission to a late stay  :)

I will send you a PM with some other alternatives...

I know this thread is a logn way along... but I see these are going to use Wei-Yahs for the chassis.

have you checked these are going to do the job - I bought some of these a while back as "drop in replacements" for G07 chassis. Well yeah if you want a pincushioned monitor that'd make a vector collector laugh and the picture half the size!

So just warning you it'd be worth checking thoroughyl before committing.

If anyone wnats said "drop in G07 wei-yahs I have 10 of them gathering dust if your feeling brave  ;)

Regardsless, keep it up and if these were proven to work perfectly I'd be intersted too!

Cheers RAv

Blimey the world wants nintendo cabs :)

Well not that I can help right now

....but If someones planning on Radarscope, I have a kit so to speak - pcb, control panel, bezel and marquee... I know the pcb is sick but the chip thats requires MB(something or other) is available form mikesarcade.com

I also think I have two nintendo power supplies kicking about too

Cheers Rav

Hi guys!

Slim chance I know, but has anyone got or know of a Dual screen nintendo cab for sale or trade?

I have seen one in North germany a few years back (a VS TENNIS one).

They look like this:



and the flyer

http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=3150

As I say, a collector in Germany had one when I went ot hima  few years ago, but he says its gone and doesnt recall who had it  :(

So if you can help - thanks in advance

Regards Rav

Bagsy a Galaga ;) Sure miss my old one  :-[

Hi guys
yeah marble has gone. Defenders a bit difficult as I have a really nice one resprayed and restored and still unsure whether to sell or not - open to offers. I have 2 or 3 project shells and parts to do them up but maybe perhaps I should spend the time putitng them together rather than selling as projects, not necessaily as I can ask for more cash its just daft if I have the parts and I enjoy working on WMS cabs!

For people sinfo I have been busy updating pictures and have also spent some time concentrating on certain games, like for instance today I got the road runner and bubble bobble working (no sound tho till I get the amp) along with my Berzerk yaya! I am considering "kitting" the road runner if people would prefer me to post that, then trasnpose my roadblasters kit into the cab as looking at the main pcb the edge connectors look toasted!

Upright Disc of tron re-photoed with marquee and running.

Food fight has had its NOS CPO installed and t-moulding fitted and looks WAY much better.

Yesterday I also got the Canyon Bomber running for the first time Ive seen it going! And also got the cosmic guerilla running :)

Yes Mav has paid for the sinistar cockpit (its in y garage waiting for me to pallet it) but not heard from either since he paid for it. Ive tested the xevious pcb on my test rig so I know that works so its just a power and perhaps monitor issue.

Also Superully - I did take a pic or two of that qix control panel I have. Now i think its from a Japanese Qix cabinet - did you see the pics. I presume of no use!
Seconly - STILL trying to fidn the bakc door keys and would hate to bust a fort lock!

Well - you guys here at DLF have certainly made an impact on me and so last Saturday, as I whizzed about the UK - I kept a journal and put pictures on my facebook account. Just to test the waters I also made a quick web page out of it..

http://www.retrokade.com/news/roadtrip-100424/

Dunno if its an interesting read, or indeed worth a post - but I had a great time and against all odds - I got me some cabs too :)

Saw this article this morning and thought of you guys...

i've passed on all your requests to rav, but as i'Ve said before: communication with him is very slow. i'll keep you posted!

Well, ive registered me an account here and perhaps can respond quicker on any queries. I must say im getting about 50 PM's a day at the minute so a delay is more often caused by me wanting to respond in order to everyone - and indeed when Ive also got a definitive answer on things.

I took pictures of the juno first today (not enough camera battery life to pull the cab out and take pics but the sides are complete and lovely. Price reflects a reluctant sale.

Im trying hard to update constantly the picutres and indeed at some point to to do a frontend with details of the cabs etc... one day :0

pictures are at http://www.retrokade.com/sales
