New user - Just wanted to say Hello!
« on: November 09, 2010, 05:56:42 PM »
Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and say Hello!

I'm Scott I live in the United Kingdom I'm 27 and work in I.T.  I have been a member on the Jamma+ forums for over a year now. The reason that I have joined this forum is because I am looking to purchase a Dragons Lair machine, I thought this would be a good place to start not just for finding a machine but also to read up on some old tech posts and chat with others.

The machine I'm after does not have to be located in the United Kingdom I am well connected with a Freight Company in Virginia Beach VA so shipping to VA is also an option and I can arrange shipping from there.

I look forward to getting to chat with you and hopefully I will learn more about this classic machine.

Scott  :)


Past Machines:
Generic Jamma Cabs
SEGA New Astro City
SEGA OutRun Mini

Present Machines:
Donkey Kong Upright
Donkey Kong Cocktail

Wanted Machines:
Dragon's Lair
Donkey Kong Junior
Pac-Man
Defender
Ms. Pacman
Galaga

Welcome on the other side of the 'Channel' John  ;)

Your wanted machines are the best ones. Hope you'll be able to catch some of them.
You can contact Paul50, I guess he has some of them for sale  ;)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome  :D

I purchased the Donkey Kong upright earlier this year from a forum member it is in excellent condition. I installed a High Score save kit on it a few months ago which also contains Donkey Kong II Return of Jumpman  ;D

The Donkey Kong Cocktail actually started life as a Nintendo Space Firebird I purchased that this year on eBay UK non working, once I had drilled the locks out I found that someone had done a tidy job of converting it to Jamma so I just added the DK control panels and decals, had the monitor chassis repaired and installed a 60 in 1 PCB but disabled every game except for Donkey Kong (therefore booting straight into donkey kong without seeing the nasty iCade menu)
