Oooh the Turbo Outrun sitdown I spot in the corner of picture 1. Such a good range of cabs you have there.

Don't forget to look after your backs shifting all those heavy lumps of wood and metal around.

Tell me about it, several strong people were required to get it off Martin's van which it then had to sit in the loading bay all day.

Unfortunately, the wheels aren't brilliant on it, like on most OutRun DLX's - they work but are a bit stiff - theoretically it should be pushable by one person.

It then took genius and a lot of finger crossing to lift the front end up, put a bogey board under it and then lift the back end and push - we thought the carpet was coming with it at one point - some re-gluing.

Anybody really good with engineering and metalwork and lifts/pulleys etc, we need a way of raising it up easily so we can get a pallet truck under the front - according to the manual its 350kg but I think that's in someone's dreams - in reality its nearer the 500kg mark.

My back is ok this morning, more to do today but that thing is staying there for this week now (for settling and testing purposes).

Are you sending pms to people shifting cabs on the 29th with directions etc?

BTW Looks awesome guys!

Yes, will be doing this Monday, just in case there's anyone else who wants to come i'll give it to the end of the weekend.

 

[muddymusic]

A fantastic selection of dedicateds already and I know there's a lot more to come!
I really can't wait to have a go on the OutRun DLX, it's been so long since I played it like that.

If anyone is going from South Manchester that I can hitch a ride with (happy to pay for fuel) I'll come down to help on the 29th.

Are you still in Flixton Phil?

 

[phillv85]

Yep

 

[Purity]

I'm quite happy taking you then as you are literally 5 mins from where I am

 

[phillv85]

Great, thanks

As long as RGP doesn't mind an extra person, I'll happily take you up on that.

This is shaping up to be one of the best retro arcades in the WORLD.

Really looking forward to seeing the place next weekend.

 

[grainflavour]

I should be free to come with a plus one, to lend a hand

 

[T-65]

Looks amazing, I can't wait for the opening party. I can't make the 29th but I'm up for helping if there are any other days in the future.

 

[smidsy]

Guys the place is starting to look amazing, I really wish youth the best of luck with this. Can't believe some of the cabs you have managed to get your hands on.

Got to echo what's already been said so far

The arcade is shaping up very nicely and with the new Outrun DLX proudly sitting there its gonna be like Mr B's in Blackpool in the 80's (as well as Gilly's in Scarborough

)

Due to The AWESOMENESS of this Arcade, ...

who will be the Dignitary asked to the "OPENING CEREMONY" ???

Any suggestions ??

Anyone have any Links or Family Ties to someone Famous ??

Possibly Adele as she has just recently purchased a couple of Cabs & is into her gaming !!!
