Can never get over the fact the animation makes it look like they have sh*t themselves

Didn't you see the photos of Rav smashing them up with a sledgehammer? He said it 'felt real good' doing that Space Duel.

Sadly it was beyond saving as the bottom was literally melting, it was gutted and the only salvageable thing was the control panel and a xy monitor tube to go in another space duel thats missing it.
And yeah, it was fun
Did anything else meet with the hammer?

What a great find. I live a couple of miles from Trafford Park, and drive through there most days and it's funny to think that all the times I've probably driven past the location not knowing that all these wonderful cabs were hidden away there. Funny as well to think that this is just round the corner from where Play Expo is held, and all the time there was another load of cabs so close that the people there would have loved to play.
Great to see another haul of such rare cabs saved for posterity, I hope a few of them show up at some events so we can get to play on them.

Well the fact that a Trog machine was sold to an owner of 2 spacer harrier DX cabs confirms it for me that these were the machines I saw when Basil was moving to the USA
I so wish I had bought some of the others he had, I hadn't even got my games room back then, had just got the extension so had abit of space but he has some great stuff. The Space Harrier DX cabs were listed on ebay before they were bought by the owner and they had been on days and only a couple of bids at like £10 each, so he cancelled the bids and ended them both, don't blame him, they weren't in bad condition but I remember letting Nick know what they were like coz he was never that happy with his, amazingly mine was in better condition than both of them even being outside for 2 years, how things change
So who bought them all to store them?, obviously done it to sit on them and coin in the money a few years on when prices gone up, then they let this happen
I just can't believe the members of the forums never got together and bought them from the collector when he was selling them
I saw him list the 1st few cabs, there was a Carnevil and some other lesser ones, so I asked him about a paperboy, he said he had one but it's in his collection going to the USA, then he said he's got a Championship Sprint machine, got back to me after looking at it but control panel missing, well would you believe my luck, I had bid on a Paperboy with full champ sprint kit but over £600 I was outbid, then the same seller listed a psu and Champ sprint Control Panel and I won the items for about £25
There was one encoder wheel missing, but I picked up a Key games wheel with the part, then stripped that and sold the wheel on for £30 as they are proper American 70's car steering wheels
£100 cash for Champ Sprint with no switcher, but easy to sort that, control panel which in end cost nothing and a nice cab it is, better than paperboy as it's got later psu stuff. yeah I wanted Paperboy but same cab near enough and I got a nice Paperboy kit from ebay USA
Darius I won for £2 or something silly, no pcb though and ordyne won a SH DLX front section for like £40.
Luke had the Sherrif cab from him, just can't believe no one else bothered, was great to look round at all the cabs and so many classics, what was there wasn't all what he had, but some of those weren't at his place so they must of been buying up loads of them to store
Really can't remember what else he had, there was a Street Fighter Pinball which was on ebay, I saw it working and that sold for £300ish
I know some other machines got sold too, some guys turned up to buy all the fruit machine stuff while I was there the 2nd time

I would love to hear more about what you are thinking with regards to a price for the space harrier DX, count me interested
Also, just wanted to say that you guy's are so lucky to have got your hands on all them cab's !
I would have loved to have just seen all of them together like that, loved the idea of climbing over them all and finding more and more cool stuff !
I would have been like a kid in a toy shop (or a 10 year old kid down southend in the 80's )too excited !!
Well done guys !
