To Douglas and Back

[acidburn]

OK so a few of you may recall the HUO Atari Star Wars Cockpit that was advertised For Sale online a couple of months back which was located in Douglas on The Isle Of Man...well

I thought the cab was long gone but I had a tip off last week from a friend who knew I was in the market for a Star Wars machine...the cab was STILL AVAILABLE!

I was put in contact with the seller and after a few emails back and forth we agreed a price and within minutes I was on the phone booking the ferry and a van.

One week later...















































The seller even threw in a spare board set, a yoke rebuild kit and a ram controls yoke to USB converter - for when I MAME the bastard

I'll get some unwrapping videos up soon!

marvellous! Bet your over the moon.

Clearly the force is strong in that cab (

I think it originally belonged to someone called Archer.

 

[wonderbanana]

That's one worthwhile trip! Nice, very nice!

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Yeah, that's the one, then it went over there and now to you

Archer MacLean, the guy that wrote IK+ and Jimmy White's Snooker

He's good at restorations so I suspect it will be in tip top condition

 

[ben76]

Yeah pretty sure it was Archers one that drawfull had. Lovely cab

Well done dude! Saw this in the flesh when I went over to pick up a Robotron cocktail from him.
Absolutely stunning example.
You must be chuffed to bits!!
