OFF-TOPIC MODE ON
and AR is still the best (reality) tv show EVER - even after all those years! somehow i can't believe they've already done 14 seasons.
OFF-TOPIC MODE OFF

today it was time to unload "the beast". because there might be a move (new workplace?) coming up this summer, i'm NOT transporting all my cabs up 6 flights of stairs (gave up counting them ;)) to where i'm living right now. some of them go into storage in a friend's barn, others go into the basement of my mother's house. JOUST 2 will find a nice cosy hiding place at the latter

after unloading the cab from my car, it is time for the usual "poser picture". the photographer's command was: "show me that you're proud!". is that proud enough?  :arrow:



luckily, it's only a couple of stairs down into the "storage room". "bring it on, i'll be waiting for the cab downstairs"  ;D



some more budging, pushing and pulling required - why are those cabinets to DAMN heavy?



once again, the proud owner next to his latest acquisition - along with my beloved Gran Trak 10 (€12,50 on ebay.de)!



as for the continuation of this story: i will finish my pleiads cab first and then we'll see ... some minor repairs on the missile command, transformation of road blasters into marble madness, if everything goes according to plan i'm getting an old taito cab for my bubble bobble project this week and and and ... THE WORK FUN NEVER ENDS!!!

Wow that is some great photos, beautiful settings and beautiful games  :o

I wish there still was these amount of classic games left in Sweden but most seem gone since long.

I have to ask: is that Nintendo Sheriff there on permanent location outside of the house? It looks very nice at that spot but I hope it's not permanent because the sun and weather is going to hurt that beauty pretty bad.....what a lovely cab. And a great collection you got ! Is that the Sheriff that I mentioned for sale on e-bay Austria ?

Glad a collector got it in the end....I was seriously considering bidding on it, but it would be an insane journey to get it (somewhat like Ully's ;)).

no, the only game i wanted to give away was that joust 2
in fact the other games are now allocated in a dedicated game-room-to-be, which i hope to clean and fix soon as i can in my free time

yes was that cab, but i didnt take a roadtrip to get it.. just i paid a service to deliver to my home. the spot is not permanent, it's gonna be allocated in the room with the other cabs.

Congrats on that Sheriff, from the picture I can see it's in amazing condition for it's age ! Is the mirror set-up still in there ? Does it have a backdrop like the Space Invaders moon ? I'd love to see a pic of that !
