Arcade Lifestyle / Re: :: ROAD TRIP :: BUGGY BOY by TATSUMI [presented in triple screen]

Awesome machine! I remember always playing the 3 screen cockpit version of this whenever I went on holiday years ago. Also played TX1 in the same arcade!

You probably know this already, but if you wanted to put in an original chassis on the right hand screen, you can put a Hantarex 900/E straight on the same tube. Likewise, you could change the other two Hantarex 900/E to Polo chassis in the future if you wanted. I repair chassis in the UK every now and again and have many working chassis on the shelf ready to go if ever you need one!

What a roadtrip!

I've played that cab many times at the Arcade Barn (before Shaun had to close it down!)

It's a shame the monitor stopped working as Olly says above. That was very clean Hantarex Polo 25", I think the lopt is fairly new. In fact, I adjusted the vertical linearity for Shaun a few months ago to get it spot on! Probably something simple, probably something got dislodged on the journey back to your house. The original monitor was a slightly different size I believe, something like a 24" maybe. I think it was basically a TV without a tuner that was used originally.

DarthNuno, can I ask what the tube number is of that Philips TV you've used? Certain Philips tubes can be used with the Hantarex Polostar Monitor (usually tubes from 100hz TV's) and i'm gradually building up a list of TV tubes that can be used with arcade chassis!

Hi All,

Decided to register here after looking through the forums many times over the past few years. In fact, I thought i'd already registered ages ago but probably not!

Anyway, i'm a long time member of Jamma+ and UKVac, and a few other forums such as AussieArcade etc.

I recognise a few names here already - just noticed DarthNuno's UK roadtrip to pick up the FireFox cab! I've played that one many times when Shaun owned it!
