Let me introduce myself
« on: May 31, 2012, 10:10:22 AM »
Hello everybody
I'm bart from wervik in belguim.
I think it is now 2 or 3 years i am in to arcade cabinets.
It all started with a tekken cabinet.
Then a long time nothing not really sure what to do.
2 miss bowling turbo and a flipper alien star.
From the beginning it went wrong ( not knowing how to repair ) so i sold the 2 bingo's and gave away the flipper
Then i was able to find 2 more cabinets on ebay.
A sega a.b. cop air bike and a sega enduro racer.
I gues there it went wrong for me.
I was able to start the a.b. cop air bike and was so happy i wanted a other cabinet.
The enduro racer is missing a cable from the monitor to the print.
In the mean time i got a azkoyen sigaret vending machine.
The next cabinet i found was a round up 5 cabinet with a gaelco world rally print inside.
After this cabinet i got a gaelco world rally 2 cabinet for 2 players.
After this cabinet i got a sega super monaco gp
The last cabinet i got is a gaelco speed up.
All the cabinets i have things to do ( but i have the time and the place ).
Here are some pictures of my cabinets




Busy to reproduce the playfield now.



work to do on the woodwork and looking for the marqueee op top of it.




Monitor problems and need side art .



Neend new t molding on it.



Woordwork need to be done.

Missing the middle compleet and the marquee on top.
A lot of repair to do and not sure if it works.

Welcome here Bartie, so you also got the fever. :D

I do believe that there still is an Enduro racer at the Warehouse.

Thanks everybody. I love coverd in dust not working arcade cabinets.
For some people it is junk but for me it is a challenge.
After cleaning everything up and looking how to fix the problem.
Then when you plug it in ...... for me it is magic.
Playing is for my 2 kids ( thy are my biggest fans ).
My wife is a other problem   :)

I'm open for everything.
I don't know why i have all racegames.
As long i can work on it it's good for me.
Maybe it's time to look for a fighting game.
