Driving cab raid + more. Sept 9th 2014

[Alpha1]

Can't believe that was a flipping Jap spec seat. I have been kicking that to the kerb for around 7 years every time I go

Fair play, the bootleg artwork is worse than terrible and does act as a repellent!

I noticed the seat back in muddy's original photo set, but didn't know the seat cushions were Jap spec as well until he pointed me in the direction of it on the day.

Seven years? They must have had a different generation of cabs/spares in those days!

 

[AndyGeezer]

Damns, me needs two complete black upper and lower with Japan cushions, I got two sets of red, but it's over kill, I need black to break things up..

 

[Outrun2]

Yes, I know what you mean. I'm undecided whether to use the cushions on my initialD or single OR2 conversion. Black is proper for OR2, but the UK slabs of rubber are so hard on my bony arse when playing iD for any length of time!!

I do like the red cushions when NOS, but the used dirty ones are grim and hard to clean up.

 

[Outrun2]

Well, what do you know - looks like it was meant to be for me to have some parts off the graveyard cabs. The Rally2 and Daytona2 cabs pictured here were taken off the storm damaged pier at Teignmouth..

..I played on both cabs only a few weeks before the storms in February. I took these photos around new year 2013/14..

I believe the pier has now re-opened, but here's a BBC news article on the aftermath of the storms..

apart from sitdown drivers, did the op have any other interesting pieces?

There were a lot of shooters, Time Crisis etc... plus lots of dead dance machines.

Likewise!
Between the driving cabs and dance machines, I need space!
I've got a hard/metal dance pad that I managed to snag relatively cheaply on ebay a couple of years ago, but one of the arrows/pads need sorting, it's bent and doesn't make very good contact. I use it with Stepmania.

To have a full size machine must be great, good fun and good exercise!

anyone fancy my two Sega rally cabs? Numbers 4&5.
both are with Martin.

not sure if im that bothered about having them after all.

I won't take any less on them though.

 

[retrorepair]

How much were they? I might do, though not sure where they will go. I'm up to my eyeballs atm

 

[JohnnyChaos]

£150 for the pair

 

[muddymusic]

They are really nice those John! If you're lucky you might find they are both working like some of Anj's were

 

[JohnnyChaos]

yeah i guess, ill keep em for now.. im just feeling lazy today and the thought of having to get them through my house to get to my arcade isn't a fun one. Lol.

 

[retrorepair]

Well if you decide otherwise, I'll have em.

 

[anj]

im quite chuffed with the ones i got

 

[webster007]

Great raid everyone and awesome photos. It is good to see the cabs saved instead of being scrapped off. I am sure it will keep everyone busy over the long winter nights.

 

[silverfox0786]

I still not received mine LOL

 

[Vamino]

After initial contact, I'm still waiting to hear from Martin as to whats going on regarding if it's been collected yet, I've sent him a PM a few days ago but don't want to pester.....
