So interestingly the more complete one seems to have been in America. It’s got US coin mech and had a few quarters still inside it.

Sadly despite it coming with half a dozen different keys none of them open anything on it so I can’t open the lock on the back to get at the monitor or the lock on the front to take the monitor out or the two to access the marquee section so this is going to be fun.

The six slot just boots to a grid pattern but after putting my own good one in good news is the monitor works somewhat but image is a bit small and colours are not correct so I need it out to service it. The wiring for the buttons is also a mess and barely any of them work
Sounds like you have an Electrocoin (best kind ☺️ ) summer project ahead.

Yeah hopefully I can get this one sorted quite easily the rest of the cab looks quite good. The other one is going to be a lot more work as it’s pretty rough and it’s completely disassembled

so my phone just went crazy and rated the thread with like two stars 🙈 how do I change that ?😂

You can’t change the rating (currently).
I don’t think you will be ostracized from the Electrocoin community tho for 2 stars , 1 maybe 😂
I don’t remember rating the thread a 4 … annoying rating system in place currently.

Used to have one of these about 10 years ago. The guy who I bought it off had put a PC in it with Mame, I only paid £250, was a beast of a machine. Unfortunately ended up selling a couple of years ago, pretty sure I got about £350 for it 😁

These 2 spritely chaps turned up today at my workshop . We have tons in common - similar age (cough) bit of colour in our cheeks (sometimes) but generally in a total state of disrepair and unsure whether standing unaided is a good idea … oh and you don’t want to know about whats going on inside (you probably do and will update in next few days 😂)
Enjoy

So many things to love about these 2. Nearly 50 years old and while a little worse for wear in places they are awesome pieces of our arcade history. I think there's 3 or 4 Space Panics left in various conditions but this one definitely has the best control panel and art. The control panels are usually damaged, with cracks, bits missing and ciggy burns but this is lovely. It's quite an important game as it was the first platform game ever albeit without the ability for the character to jump. Amazing that that Electrocoin coins door sticker is still in such good shape too!
My memory isn't so good these days but I'm pretty I haven't seen another No Man's Land cab out there, so could be the only one? Look forward to seeing some internals of them both.

Nice to see more of these early cabs, shame they always seem to be really neglected but same time they are still here which over shadows the condition, shame the other 2 on ebay weren't saved by someone here

C.T. Leisure Leicester cool :)

C.T. Leisure was a regional UK coin-operated amusement and gaming machine distributor and operator historically based in the Leicester area.
Equipment Supplied: Fruit machines, arcade video games, pool tables, and jukeboxes for pubs, clubs, and arcades

Regional Operations: Much like other midlands-based operators (such as Keeday Leisure's regional depot network in Coalville/Leicestershire), firms like C.T. Leisure serviced local hospitality and entertainment venues with machine rentals and profit-share arrangements

Absolutely amazing they survived in any form really . They were produced at least 8 years before I played my first arcade machine so the game nostalgia is not there for me but the Electrocoin graphic design / aesthetic is of huge interest and looking at these cabinets you can see how the EC style carried on and developed into the late 80s/ 90s with marquee designs / side art.
Will do a cursory check tomorrow and report of internals. Through the brief unload yesterday space panic is in much better condition. No mans land would originally have had printed glass but has been replaced (with a decent photo this can be remade) Priority is to make sure they are stable !

It's cool that that's the exact same cab as the one in that pic off Klov!

I'll have a look for my No Man's Land flyer later to see if I can get a decent pic of the bezel art.
I thought it was mine but I don’t have silver gaffer tape on the coin door 😂
If you can find the flyer that would be great for Bezel repair one day.
