Hi There

[Kewydee]

Hello all, I am an old skool gamer looking to fulfil a lifetime dream of owning my very own arcade machine.

I'm looking for a medium sized cab (19' screen 60 in 1) because i only have limited space in my flat and my budget isn't huge either (£250 - 300)

I hope one of you guys here can help me make my dream a reality

(I have an x-arcade dualstick for Mame but it's not like standing infront of the real deal)

Thanks for looking

Hi Pete, and welcome to UKVAC.

There's nothing like playing the classic games on a proper cab - one or two of us around here feel that way, anyway!

Hi Pete - welcome to UKVAC! I was about to say that cabs come up all the time that match your description and budget but I see you've already found one and made an enquiry

Good luck......with only buying one cab that is; the thing about this hobby is that one is never enough!

Hi Pete and welcome to the group.

As noted already, this is an addiction, start applying for planning permission now, you will need an extension!!!!

Good luck with your first!!

Hey Pete, welcome to UKVAC... great to see some more folk from sunny Hertforshire.

Whereabouts are you exactly are you..?

There is a bunch of us that hold fairly frequent meets around the Herts and Essex area so keep an eye out and maybe you can come along to the next.

And as for cabs... there are a couple of nice Spectrums in Stevenage for sale on here...

Not the smallest of cabs but very tidy and solid.

Thanks for all the welcome msgs

Im based in Letchworth but am not a driver so it's difficult to travel v far.

And yes, it is an addiction - hooked already and have been since Space Invaders came out.

And, I don't have to worry about running out of room, I have such a small flat that I haven't got any room even before I finally own a cab

Cheers all, I like it here, seems a smiley place

Great stuff... well I am only in Buntingford so if there is anything you need do let me know.

And give Craig in Stevenage a PM about those Spectrums... he may have some other cabs too.
