I'm okay fella thank you for the kind offer I do really appreciate:) but I have had to postpone acquiring a cab this year, as the boiler gave in an I had to get new one, so that wiped out my cab saving money and some:cry:. However, next year will be the year definately
:D
Boiler is a basterd ..
Will most likely still have it next year..
So if you want a free woody wired for jamma ..

Pretty sure that’s where I bought my Japan N64 back on launch, not heard Skill Academy mentioned for years.

Yeh not sure if you ever went to his gaff to collect games ?
But edge magazine guys used to pick up some titles some times. But have a
First play at his house .
I remeber being there with em when resident Evil 1 arrived .. .
I was there to get my
Copy too. Atmosphere was mad!
Everyone was really excited. Like Mario 64 it was ground breaking.

I preferd it when it was just him at home and his missus made you a cup of tea.. while you had a blast..
He had that tv. And it is very nice too

Yes it was his house not a shop, surprising the amount of import guys running a business from home. Now who was the guy who used to sell Neo Geo home carts from home back in the 90’s? He was in Farnborough or Fareham..

These were all from ads in the back of Edge, Arcade, C&VG etc.

Yep ..
I had one of the guys come round to buy a cab from me last
Year he had an import shop super Nintendo days ..

Raven was going selling super guns

someone round that way had the neo stuff yeh ..
On sale or return and he sent back
Boxes of carts that didn’t sell that would be grail!

A guy had a shop also round
That way might be him I went to his house he had 150 carts and a super neo 29 left over from his import shop he told me they sold a lot of mvs /aes
He collected colour and hologram variants of same games as so many where circulating at the time .

I was pipped in the auction for all of it ( shill bidding was going on:( !

But later on a year or two later I ended up at his house as he found more bits he didn’t know he had ( ganryu mvs mint)
He told me the guys he sold all the stuff to turned up with a small trailer for the cab .. it would only fit in it standing up .. and it bounced out before they got to the end of the road !
Sadly it was Smashed bad!
:(. I don’t think they were gamers.
Just dealers

Amazing collection. Sadly I'm a bit old for most of the candy cab stuff 😕 (By which I mean it passed me by as I had a job and a mortgage so no time or money for arcades in the 90s 😭)

Really easy to rig up a Pi in them that's for sure most come with older screens (remember flat screens were a bit crap 15+ years back) & 1p CP's so there is added cost if you want it up to date.

Prob easier to be just like everyone else & get a Vewlix at least you can tate it.

Yeh I have a viewlix full upper and lower with Controll pannel ..
And I have my good pc.
So I’m thinking as I don’t actually have the space in my games room anymore for a cab ..
Just wall mounting a screen..
And hinging the whole pannel part to the wall with the pc under .
Some thing like that as a space saver .
And I have it all ready to fit .

I havw not done ot yet because ..
I ran out of wall sockets 🤣🤣

I just got one double socket and a junction box ready to chop into the rlng main. That double will be for a cocktail and Vectrex . Then once that is done
I can think about wall mounting the viewlix cp and a flat screen me thinks
