Part 1 BARN continued

And so it came to be my turn to pull my cab out. We finally got to the APB. I don't know why I chose this as my single cab I took from the barn. I think it's because I could only see the top flash and could never get close, so I wondered just what the hell I was getting. Did it have the seat for example?

Well it didn't have the seat, but that's not a big issue as I wouldn't have room for it anyhow. Here are the first shots I took!

Again a manky steering wheel - I think the rubber this and Hot Rod used some how make a good home for mankyness. It should clean up really good though.

Ade with his light saber. I turned the flash off for this other than a LED pre-light on the phone, you can see it's pretty dark.

No one took that Breakout! I think the Op was asking an unrealistic price, but my god it had minty sides and CP/bezel/marquee. It can't of had much use at all back in the day. Sad to say we never touched or moved it - so it is in that exact same spot now.

Space Invaders again, and this pic shows you the junk we had to navigate to get to the inner barn with the cabs! We literally carved a path through it all stacking sofas, chairs, fridges and all suits into a massive mountain on the right.

And that was it! We had got all the cabs we wanted, we helped put back the fruities, the Turbo Outrun and the assorted BAS JAMMA cabs got in our vans and cars and set our satnavs for the next location!!

THE MAIN WAREHOUSE!!

To be continued...

Incredible stuff, I know it doesnt get much love, but that Hot Rod is an incredible find. I doubt if there are any 2 player stand ups left in this country. Gutted I couldnt fit it through my door, but pleased its going to a collector :)

Didn't know you were looking for an APB, Oll. I have a pretty nice one I'm putting up for sale once I can dig it out (though shipping would have been killer

!) I do have an NOS marquee if you need one.

Here's Big Phil after pulling out a BAS JAMMA cab.

What's the cab behind Phil, is it a Electrocoin Midi? Looks like pretty neat cab.

Looks like you all had a cracking day, you've all got plenty of cleaning to do but it all looks superficial. Great stuff!

I guess it's nice for us he decided to hold onto them rather than breaking them up
