The Quest for Stargate…
« on: February 20, 2012, 07:00:39 PM »
...in Sweden.

Ok, been a fan to this site for awhile but not very active. Love your site Bruno and would love to come visit you someday? Anyway, I was supposed to go with my friends for a roadtrip to Stockholm but had some issues so they had to go alone. My friends were kind enough to post me some pictures. The aim was to get 6 cabinets and 1 was mine.












What a lucky owner...



The only one fully working was…well, Stargate! Very good condition. My friend who has the other cabs in his hands managed to get all working but Asteroids (no enemy shows up except for the Ufos) and Qix still have some issues. The others are now fully working. He also got plenty of PCB:s:

Gemini Wing
Bubble Bobble (original)
Dangar?
New York New York
Revenge of Doh
Homeland?
Wrestlefest
Galaga boot
Q-bert boot
Scramble *2
Super Galaxian
Poolshark
Asteroids Deluxe
Asteroids *4
Superbug *4
Qix *3
+ other arcade related stuff.
The most of them working but haven’t tried all. Everything for £800 ca. Great price!

Thanks!

This is almost what they said on Arkadtorget.se (Swedens largest/only arcade community) as well. Finally the right way to use a horse trailer. Didn't know the cabs were rare. But nothing compared to the only? Sprint 4 in the world (which the guy had as well but not assembled)

Will add a pixx tomorrow.

By the way, the guy who ended up with the Asteroids may very well be interested in a brand new directly silk-screened control panel:

By the way 2:



That loose Owl-eye coin door, is that for the Asteroids ? If it is surplus I am interested in buying it ;)

Sorry to disappoint you/myself but no pixx on the Sprint 4. If I would have been on the roadtrip I would have shown so much interest in the Sprint 4 that I've would have forgotten about the rest. But unfortunately, the Sprint wasn't the main reason for the trip. There are some questions unanswered about it though. Not really sure if it's been sold. Can't tell anything due to private reasons. Will try to investigate a little more.

My friend has just registered here but is waiting for admin clearence. Guess he will join the thread for Super Galaxian pixx and info about the coindoor.

He gave me clearence for this as well:

steffsarcade.com

Level42: A new Asteroids overlay followed as well. Not as good as a new panel but close. :-)

The coin door is not for asteroids, it's for super bug.

Thanks for the pic, very nice and clean pcb you have there. ;)
If you decide to sell it one day, I'm up for it, as it belongs to a nice Zaccaria cab. :D
