Title: Tehkan World Cup - With Topper! :)
Post by: u72 on April 03, 2014, 04:58:41 PM: his Arrived Today, it needs quite a bit of work - but it is still a solid cab with lots of spares ;D
We should have this ready in time for the World Cup!

The vinyl and artwork is damaged - but there is enough to scan rebuild and restore it
AND it has the Footballer 'intact' - Very Happy about that! ;D

The other side has fared slightly better - i'm sure the metal corner caps have helped it over the years...

The one player side is in great condition - the other side has a bad rip across the corner...

The 'Does it really exist? ' Topper is in very good condition - with minor artwork damage

Inside is all original - and will need completely stripping down & refurbishing (New Caps/connectors etc)

Best of all it came with loads of spares! some NOS! ;D

I'll post a complete strip down and refurbishment thread when we start!

(a) I know what you mean - it is original and we will probably take precautions so it doesn't damage any artwork
Do you know if this topper was available in Europe or was it just a UK only version?

(b) My Apologies, I've Introduced myself in the relevant forum https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=5352.0 (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=5352.0) :)

I have never seen that topper before, so properly only existed in the UK... also, looks really custom made :P ;D

Post by: Tyrem on April 04, 2014, 09:31:53 AM: i have seen this cab quite often. i was looking for one since 2 years now. but never ever ever with the topper. i doubt this is original. it is ugly as hell. :D
ruins the cab for me. i would take it off... but just my 2 cents.

Post by: Alpha1 on April 04, 2014, 11:03:17 AM: The topper was an optional extra. Most Ops didn't take it. Extremely rare!
