Bye bye my friend, I will never forget you, Bally-Midway Galaxian 815

Dawn! Your famous Bally-Midway Galaxian 815?  ...I think it's by this one you really jumped in 'the hobby'! (...and even on this board by the way?) 
But I understand you...Namco rulez!  Oh, and at least it's still on very good hands.

Yes Bruno, you're right.

It was my third machine. Of course the vey first was the Jamma cab with MAME, then I had a UK Double Axle for a while which I kinda regret selling, beautiful machine (nicer artwork than the US version IMHO) and the game was more fun than you'd expect. That was the first machine I fixed however didn't know if I would seriously go into the hobby....it was at the music club for a while (with coin mech at 20 cent, there was some spare change for the club in it every week ) but at a point they wanted it gone and I didn't want it in my living room any longer so I sold it. A couple weeks later I saw the ad on Marktplaats for this Galaxian and.....the rest is history

I just bought it back from Marco
I'll take good care of it I promise

I could use some help on shipping the Galaxian cab to the south of France. I thought it would be easy to find a transporter, but nothing has worked out so far. I tried Dachser, recommended by many, but they refuse to transport the cab for some obscure reason...

Anyone has any suggestions on how to safely (and affordably) get this cab to the new owner? Any help appreciated!


Cheers
Marco

I used Wim Bosman to send a cab to germany ones. You need a kvk nr though

They are a kind of transport agency, I used them once to transport 16 candy cabs from the UK to my house. Went OK.
