The Official Eurocade Roadtrip / Transport Topic

[level42]

Maybe next time you bring a G07 (I assume only the chassis ?) in your carry-on get rid of the turban and shave !!!

 

By the way, what are those PCB's on the left on that pic ?

[Muerto]

We will meet this evening at Dirk's hall to load the car. Speleo will already be there with his family and we will start together on saturday morning.

Looking forward to that great event!!

Time to load the Zacc for transport tomorow..
My little helper joins me today, and he looks as happy as i am  




Loaded the empty zacc in the trailer, this feels already much more comfortable than the 2 cab that where transported 2 days ago !




I disengaged the trialer and rolled it to the back entrance of my mothers place.




The weather forecast is looking good, but still you never know, so i wrapped the tarp around it.




As for the loose parts, i did a cleaning since they where out of the cab anyway  




My mother also has the Eurocade spirit !  



I parked the trailer in the garage for pickup tomorow right after work
there is also something in the back that i need to bring  



After that i went home, and finished the Piggy Zacc tm which will take the funktion as...........

It's time to select a cabinet...
Like a slide puzzle game, I'm moving cabinets inside the original Lair, and I finally find a way to get out the selected one 

[level42]

THREE CABS !!!  

Wahooo...yes !!!!


I have good news and some less good news:

Bela arrived safely anb sound this morning. ALL my cabs are already on location AND working (except Play Scene).
Space Pirates, up and running, Gravitar happy as ever, Magicol Spot 2 (sweet) cocktail, running ! DK from Gyruss and Pac from RonaldReagan, all running.

The bad thing ? While loading the back door of the Joust jumped out and RIGHT on my big toe. And that back door has a metal "edge" strip. It hurts pretty bad now and I'm walking like a lame duck...May have to see a doctor tonight...

Anyway heading right back to the location as some German friends arrived !!

You teaser !

Dawn! I had exactly the same story 4 years ago... After working on my Battlezone, I put back the back door... but I didn't put it well... and the back door falls like a guillotine ... on my big toe! Of course, I was working bare-foot!

Result  IMPOSSIBLE to walk... Pain  Direction the emergency (it was too late for a doctor) ... fractured toe!

OK, I hear you : "pictures or it didn't happened' ... ok ... even in pain : ARCADE LIFE STYLE fiiiiiirst !  See the ugly attached pictures 

Well, I hope it's not as bad André

i've got some bad news, guys - and i already "warned" andré about it: the problem is that patrik's father has parked the giant harvester so stupidly in front of the cabinets in the storage that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get any of them out - they are simply blocked in the back. why doesn't he simply drive it out again, you might ask? well, the harvest is over and like every year he has already removed the battery from the machine (so that it doesn't leak or drain over winter) which makes it impossible to start / move it. you guys don't know patrik's dad, but if i asked him to re-install the battery to move the harvester he would most likely kill me - seriously! well, i walked over to the other side of the storage, but there are only cabs in semi-working condition (like the mad planets which has a very blury picture most of the time) or cabs which are already there (pole position).

would it be ok if i brought my entire vectrex collection instead (including the famous 3d imager)? i know it's not a cab and most of us have already played vectrex, but i think i have all the original games that have been released, so i'm pretty sure there are games there which you guys haven't played yet (polar rescue for example). would that be an option?

[Luigi]

That's bad, Ully    I guess the Vectrex will be well occupied, too

The car is loaded. I'm afraid nothing more than a fresh pair of socks for sunday will fit into the car 

Speleo arrived just 30 minutes ago.
