Good find!

Fantastic to get a Thundrblade sitdown. Would love to play one again.

And the obligatory world cup 90 cab too!

Awesome update so far. It is great to know that these finds are still out there. I love Thunderblade, I'm sure AC had a sit down on it's original opening night at the old place...

No matter what else you find, it has to be said that this place must've been THE coolest place ever to have hung out, bitd.

Looks good. Any chance some might make it the the for sale section? I'm looking for a project

I'm beginning to think I had a cruel upbringing being forced to play all these conversions on a spectrum. Plus my optimus prime was missing his hands.

Where was my barn filled with the latest arcade games dammit?!!

Wow what a find, especially the Thunderblade and Pinball. Awesome stuff, you must a have a big place to move all this to I am guessing. Lot of stuff there. I feel your excitement :)

Never seen a crude busters bezel before. Can't believe you're taking a lunch break!

This really is a fantastic little story and proves what I thought that there is so many more cabs out there hidden away and not just old op collections.

Post more pics more more more!

Unusual to see jamma cabs with bezel art to match the game, I've seen those style of marquees before but never the bezel art, very cool.

Exactly what I thought. Makes you wonder how many other jamma games may have had bezels to match the marquees and maybe even cpo's

Crazy that all this info just seems to have been lost. I wish I could remember more from the 80's but I suppose all I was bothered about was playing the games.

Well it's all over now and it went well. Pretty tired but will put more photos up tonight.
Big thanks to Virtvic, Bonehead, Maskeddev and t-m.

Much fun was had today!
Really nice condition cabs. I found an interesting DVD with the ps2 games. Ahem.

That Thunderblade is bloody heavy.

Many thanks to Phil and his lovely family for a great day out and nice meeting the rest of the crew (some of them I already knew)

To be talked about on the next podcast...

Only just noticed this pic. So the final fight does have control panel art as well!
The artwork on the marquee is exactly the same as the electrocoin one but it looks like it has a different name where I've indicated on the pic. It doesn't look like a sticker over the top either like other companies used to do. Any ideas Phil, whats the name on it?
