Ahoy!

I'm new-ish, in that I've lurked here a bit and purchased a few things but realise I hadn't actually posted introducing myself!

I'm based in Scotland, and lost interest in retro & arcade gaming a about a decade ago and recently got back into it. So I'm playing catch-up a bit on all the price changes and availability of things

I've got a Blast City cab needing a little bit of TLC and an OutRun cab needing a lot of TLC after a delivery f**k-up.

I'll have plenty of photos to post for both projects when I have a chance to sort through them all!

Welcome in!! A delivery f**k-up?! sounds horrific

Delivery driver arrived on his own and did not wait for me to come help him move the pallet. Cabinet toppled over into the street due to his negligence and caused all sorts of damage to the wooden frame, and sadly to the original CRT.

He was impatient, and if he'd just waited the 15 seconds for me to get from my driveway to his van it'd have all been fine Though because I was already heading to help him I saw the whole thing unfold and was able to file a very thorough insurance claim with before/after pictures and an admission of fault from the driver.

Silver lining is that I was able to bench test the PCB and it's still working, so the cab will live again

Aw man that's a shame, welcome to the forum.
