I bought:
Taito Space Invaders - VVGC
Arkanoid - Good
Pacmania - VVGC unsure if working
Atari Super Sprint. Good unsure if working
Operation Wolf - OK condition
Operation Thunderbolt - VGC
World Rally - midi.
1000 Mile Rally - midi
Vulcan Venture - midi
Oh and a Star wars cockpit.
I think that was all but I may have missed one.

Well 2 machines from there have been dropped off at mine this morning by Andyman
Alot to buy just to get some 3D glasses, but when you have the Continental Circus original Cockpit it's kinda worth it. The game is totally awesome in 3D and sitdown with brake pedal and 4 speaker sound
The front one is the later re-released as Continental Circuit cab from the USA, so that was imported at some point
The Glasses won't fit straight on the Sitdown, but with some adjustments to them, I will make them fit and nearly have a complete working cab apart from rear marquee and light fitting
When Ol told me about the 3D glasses on it, I said let me know when as I will buy the cab. as it's not the most popular game, I thought I would offer to buy both if it helped out with the overall deal.
The USA one, has the same setup inside and my Double Dragon cab, same psu, interconnect board and cardboard with silver sheilding, which will be nice spares for that cab
Thanks for all involved in sorting out yesterday, Martin for picking up some of our machines and andyman for dropping them off today
More pics please everyone, I want to see all the cabs

<SNIP> REPEAT PICS REMOVED </SNIP>
Hi Bods - I am so glad the second one came free or I wasn't going to do the deal! I know you only wanted the 3D glasses but wanted you to get a decent cab.
The actual cab with the 3D glasses is pretty solid - but the CP and metal frame need sand blasting. The other non 3D one is only worth it for parts.
I am really pleased that the non 3D glasses one you can use the parts from.

Unfortunately I am not setup to do that at the moment. The only places you will see my games is at events. I can't afford £500 a month in shop front fees! Plus all the associated insurances, council tax and utility bills! Hats off to Julian as with public liability insurances for a place like that and the mentioned bills it must cost about £1000 a month.

Great haul, love the Pacmania cab, looks really nice that one, I hope it either works or if there is a problem its a simple fix, what about Op Wolf? have you had time to plug it in yet, I bought the other one from yesterday.

Dont expect too much from the op wolfs. Im hoping to make one good one from the two I now have.
Thanks, I suppose deep down I never really expected it to work first time, if I've done my research correct it seems like the pcb's are a bit unreliable. If it doesnt work only 1 of my 3 gun games works ok but when Gunblade arrives it will be 2 out of 4 so at least it takes me to a 50% success rate on lightgun games

Your OpWolf cab was sound. There's a slight knock on the left side, and the marquee rails definitely need sand blasting/power coating (or the DIY of stripping/sanding/painting yourself). I can't remember the coin door - that might be OK.
I think all the games once cleaned will look a million miles better before any restoration work has started!
I have pix of your one. Will upload ASAP.

Nice one, I'll keep my fingers crossed when I power it up then, worker or non worker I'm still over the moon with it
Wish I was at a state of all cabs in place and working.
Still need to get extension 2 finished so I can get most of the uprights in there and then sort out the rest of the house and arcade building.
I did about have things sorted out quite nice and started getting some machines up and running, but as more machines kept appearing for sale, you just can't help but buy some of them, ones you never expected to see, you just can't say no. so all the space I had I filled and I mean filled so I can't hardly get in myself, which defeats the whole point when you have them and cant play em or get to repair them
Then running out of money don't help, just can't wait to get things sorted

Thanks for the pic, it actually looks a lot better than I was expecting
Have you had chance to test your APB out yet? another quality classic rescued
