My own little raid and all he had were si cabs NOT

[FanDabbyDozy]

Hi all just got back from picking up my new cab from Franco.

But on the way I stopped off at an operators to do my own little raid, as I have no one to raid with

He had a load of SI cabs that had been taken off site, back when people stopped playing them, looked to be 6 to 8 of them, plus a SI 2 and Galaxian and more.........

Very nice. Was the operator interested in selling them?

Those cabs look like they have been there for many years, what a fab find, I second purity....is he looking to move them on!

 

[FanDabbyDozy]

I think he would consider selling, but would have to be a fair offer, very nice guy to deal with.

These ones were not so covered in dust but very hard to get to, the SI2 pick is only of the top corner

 

[forcefulfil]

good to see more cabs are still stashed!
yet to be saved

 

[FanDabbyDozy]

More bits, sorry for sideways pics.

 

[zapiy]

wow, how comes i dont get finds like these.

That is a lot of Space Invaders! He have anything else?

 

[Purity]

A shame to see them stored away and never used. The SI's look in really nice shape! Go get them dude, and yeah offer a fair price of course

What a cool stash! Hope we can get a few in to collectors hands rather than sitting there forever more!

The room that had most of the SI cabs in probably had some other cools ones, just could not get to anything in there, at least they will not be rotten as are on an upper floor that looks to be nice a dry, just dusty.

I only picked up modern (late 80's / 90's) stuff as is more my thing (but would very much like a SI and SI2 as just classics) he sold me 20+ mvs carts 9 one slot boards, 3 cps2 games, plus the couple of modern cabs I went for.

Any Taito's that weren't Space Invaders dude?

 

[Purity]

He's clearly got some nice stuff. That "The Big Shot" looks interesting. Electromechanical game?

 

[FanDabbyDozy]

Nothing I saw, possibly a cocktail could have been as they were stacked up with some old one arm bandits. Would love to see what other cabs were there, he said I could drop in next time passing.

Yeah it looked to be that kind of thing.

Nice one. Hope you came away with something nice.
That Nintendo cocktail looks interesting with an 8 way joystick, not sure what game it could be.

 

[zapiy]

I would be interested in an SI.. keep us posted pal.

I was wondering that too. If it's Sky Skipper Chuckie egg will need to change this pants

I thought that also. I thought the only 8 ways were Sheriff and Hellfire. Alex will know.
