Tired but satisfied at the Mc with The entire Eurocade crew !


Everyone made it to the warehouse, thanks for that !!!

A lot of machines have left the building but I don't know who took what. A lot of cabs that were intended to be taken were left, but also a lot that were not planned got taken.

Between 15 and 20 cabs left...

Hatster, David took the Power Drift, a Super Bug and a Breakout. Then the bus was FULL !
Good. luck unloading the PD !!!!!

More later !!!

Rorsach, Remi and Eurotronic, nice meeting you !

Here's a list form the top of my head, please correct me where needed:


Guess most of you remember "the warehouse" in Belgium where I picked up the Berzerks, Centi's, Armor Attack and Video Pinbal, among others......

There is still interesting stuff left in there and not too long ago I went back to visit to look at the HD cockpit that's stil there. (That one is reserved for me !!)

Now, the seller seems to be willing to get rid of cabs for quite interesting prices.
Some prices he mentioned:
Taito cabs, blue various games pcb or not inside...50 euros.
Power Drift sit down NOT WORKING : 100 euro !

I have a feeling that most uprights can be had for 50-75 euros.

There are still a number of Zacc's there as well, amongst them a Vanguard.

Seller told me he was willing to deliver the cabs if we buy more at once. Now I don't have ANY space to store them so that would be a bit hard to arrange I guess.

Anyway, post here if you are interested and in what. Also: don't expect to get brand new working machines. Prices are according to this. Some are better than others.



RESERVED list:  (ON THIS LIST ONLY PEOPLE WHO EITHER COME NEXT SATURDAY OR HAVE ARRANGED TRANSPORT !!!!


Level42:          Hard Drivin' cockpit
Kroustibat:      NBA jam
Hatster:          Power Drift, Breakout, Super Bug
Polderarcade:   Tekken, Taito cab, Neo Geo 16x9, Dartsmachine...what else ??
ckong:            Neo Geo cassettes
ChrisChris:       Super Breakout
RobinHolland:   Vanguard (Zaccaria), 2 Taito cabs
Eurotronic:       Taito cab
Rémi75:           2 Taito cabs, 4 Neo Geo Blue Euro version, Neo Geo cassettes
Belike:            A Zacc game...

I count 21 machines...
More ??

I had a great day, today. Unfortunately I didn't score a cab, the seller's prices were too high for my taste and also pretty much higher than on previous occasions.

But I dud buy some nice MVS game kits, like Andro Dunos, Spinmaster, Windjammers, the Magician lord and a few others, for reasonable prices.

Oh, and I had heard that GOD would also be there, but I didn't see him. Which makes sense of course, since he doesn't exist and is just an imagination in people's mind. (IMO)  8)

But I did speak with good friends again and I also met some nice new people. It was fun, can't wait until we meet again.

Yeah, sorry about that. Because he had dropped the price of the Power Drift so much and also that ot the Taito's I thought he'd be much more nice about the other prices too. Maybe he thought with so many people that he could make a better price for some cabs. The Super bugs were pretty expensive, but my guess is that he thought, hey this is a racing cab...I can get good money for it.

I really don't understand he would have sold even more if he'd lowered the price bit.

Then again...maybe we are just a bit spoilt.... ;D

Yeah i was a bit disapointed buy the price chanching too.  :?

Thank you very much andré that's super cool to share the warhouse with the community.
You could have make load of money (sure some will) by keeping it for yourself.

Also it's was great to see all of you guys. It feel so nice to share a moment like that with a bunch of connoisseurs.  :spaceace:

I will take care of the magnificent taito cab. Make sure that once it done i bring it to the eurocade!
