Great looking setup, and some real classics
Thanks mate
I got everything working for my last meet, think it took me about a month of work in total
Sadly Asteroids died at the meet, but I'll get it fixed up for the next one
Jodo said:Road Blasters cockpit. Legendary. Damn that's a nice setup Luke. The only room I don't have cabs in is the bedroom.
I'm working on that
Hey mate
I was contemplating breaking up the RB cockpit a while back due to the space it takes up, but when I had my last meet, it was the cab that everyone was talking about. Fuzzy's son loved it so much he wanted to eat his lunch in it
The only room I don't have cabs in is the bathroom and the living room
muddymusic said:Tis indeed an awesome selection of cabs. The box stacking on RB alone is impressive enough without the rest of it
I love the Dig Dug cabaret, it's yummy.
Thanks buddy
I remember googling "carbaret arcade machines" years back, and I was flicking through the images on google, and I saw the Dig Dug cabaret photos and it was a "WTF I WANT THAT" moment when I saw how cool it looks!
I searched for one for a few months, found one non-working on US ebay, got in touch with the seller and had to agree to pay him another $100 just so that he would sell it internationally. It was the only cab I've ever moved from the USA and I think the shipping was about £450 + tax
Worth it? Probably yes

Hahaha you git!
You know my OCD doesn't like untidy highscore tables. I have to spend ages knocking other peoples names off so I can get them all back to LXW
muddymusic said:There's a real satisfaction sticking your name on someone else's high score save kit isn't there. I've ruined Shaun's Time Pilot and think it might 'mysteriously reset' if I'm not careful
And you! Evil

Fave for me is the Road Blasters cockpit, wins hands down with the Road Runner in at number 2, love them all though & the pictures/lights & assorted memorabilia really set the scene, great job
Thanks for the kind words mate
Yeah who wants a boring dining room table sat in the middle of a room doing nothing
I was honestly surprised at how much people loved it at my last meet, it was certainly the talk of the day. I mean I've always loved the game and the cockpit is super cool, but the big fresnel lens screen really impresses people. It's one hell of a cab

My son loved the Roadblasters cockpit so much that I couldn't get him out if it - he even had his lunch in there!
Great pics mate.
It's good to see your son appreciating a quality arcade game
Thanks for the kind words and see you soon
IDCHAPPY said:I can just imagine that leccy meter spinning round when everything is on and running
Actaully it's not too bad in there for the electric, Other than the Williams cab, because it's got a step down transformer, the others are mostly 150ish watts or less.
The pinball cabin really gets the meter spinning, they idle at about 250w each x12 plus the lighting, plus the non-optional air-conditioning to get rid of the 3KW of heat from the pins, in an overly insulated cabin
