Don't you just love it when this happens (GRAIL CAB!!!)

[Deleted member 7540]

I've been looking for an original Cosmic Avenger, cocktail in particular for going on 20 years now and not only do i spot a beautiful original upright cab but the grail cocktail cab!!!

What makes it even more insane? It's the same guy selling BOTH. You never, EVER see these cabs. Don't you just love it when a cab is dangled in your face like that?

Wasn't there a guy from the US who did pick ups of cabinets and shipped them over here? Or is he long gone now? I think he used to fill containers and ship a bunch of them over.

God it sucks when it's so close yet, so far.

Nice colours in that game man!

Very, the game itself wasn't/isn't too popular as it's brutally hard but i grew up with it so holds a ton of nostalgia for me. Does the guy who used to ship from the US still do his thing or has he gone now?

Pretty sure he is still about…
Not sure if it’s still Sargent but I’m sure I saw on face book the same import fees for your own cab

That is quite a story, and I can appreciate finding a grail.

I'm a bit hesitant to even say this, but want to be helpful where I can. Cinci is a really easy drive from Indianapolis. If you the seller doesn't want to work with you on getting this shipped internationally, I could maybe pick up and store. I'd need some compensation to go get it....but, having someone local that can communicate and you're not up against a limited timeline - thought there'd be some value in mentioning this.

I can't help at all related to coordinating international shipping, you'd probably need to look into Fedex or something.

I've got a collector friend in Cinci too if you need some help, possibly could ask for temp storage.

That's a heckin' awesome pair of cabs

That is extremely kind of you all! The community here is like no other. Thank you.

That said, I wouldn't know where to start in terms of getting it over here (shipping.) It's not a cheap purchase and with all the import duty and everything on top i think it would be too much to justify it. I have a PCB and all I'd need is a jamma cab really. It's just a nice thought of owning an original cab. Especially a cocktail i've never seen one before anywhere.

Thanks again though for the offers to help you guys are freakin' amazing!
