Hi All,

My names Mat, I hail from Fareham near Portsmouth. I've been collecting retro video games since I was just a mere lad back in the 80's and the time has come to take the next step and find a decent Cab for the man cave!

Hoping to find myself a project as I'm pretty handy with electrical's and DIY. Hoping to be able to use this fine forum for all sorts of useful info as it comes highly recommended!

Cheers

Mat

Thanks Chaps,

My wants are quite specific so I'm under no illusion it will take a while.

I'm after either a Chase HQ, Outrun or Turbo Outrun dedicated cab.

I did go and look at a Chase HQ cab last night as it was local to me but for the money the guy wanted £250, it didn't power up, the rear of the monitor had rust on most of the components. Screen bezel was missing, all the controls were hammered and just generally the cab was in a very sorry state from being stored in a container outside so subject to years of condensation and damp... the pcb looks good but that was about it. Shame as it was 20 mins from my house :)

The quest continues!

Is that the Chase HQ in Havant/Waterlooville? He wouldn't respond to my PM on eBay.

Welcome aboard, there is a wealth of knowledge on here, good luck with the cab quest, for £250 I would have expected a better chase hq example than what you describe, they pop up pretty regular, it's just a waiting game

Thanks :)

It was indeed mate, It wasn't much better when I got there I was knocking the door for 15mins before he finally answered the door....

When he told me about how the storage container it was kept in "sweats" in the summer and has icicles on the roof in the winter I knew it was a no go!

A shame but the hunt continues :)
