Good evening!

Hi, I'm Chris from Somerset. Been an enthusiast for as long as video games have existed, contributed to early versions of MAME, but still never owned a real cab...nearing retirement now, so time to start thinking about correcting that.

Marnin', Chris!
Not too far away down here in Dorset.

Welcomes !

Welcome aboard. Anything particular in mind?

Well, funnily enough seeing your blog just now, I would absolutely love a Pole Position, but I know that's just a hopeless dream given the time, space, and cost! Ditto Star Wars!

 

[Mr20to5]

I don't see why it has to be a hopeless dream? There are plenty about and come up quite often. One sold on here only recently.

That said, it has a reputation of being troublesome and is likely to be a step learning curve for your first dip..

But it is also a dedicated cab (in its original form, anyway) and you need to think about how much space/ cash you have, and whether or not some form of multi game cabinet might suit better?

This could be through emulation or pcbs/carts etc.

Lots to think about..

Pardon our interruption...

Pole position 2 any good?

Oooh very tempting (is that a good price?) but really it would have to be a cockpit model if I was really going for PP.

Thanks for spotting and letting me know!

Seems to cheap.. monitor fault board fault ??? Not the end of the world
Like he says you can run it on a raspberry pi . Overall . condition looks great

Welcome on board.
It’s a good price,but they can end up costing you a fortune in board repairs ,pi position would be the way as mentioned
Mine was a money pit and nice condition like that .im wondering if it is my old one
I would actually bid on that but it is cash on collection which rules me out
