It's been a while ...

[Steve67]

Hi, my name is Steve Coule and here's my story ....

It all started a long long time ago, when Rav had that shack in the middle of nowhere. When the double doors opened, all those classic sights and sounds had me hooked - the beer and pizza rounded off the evening ... The addiction started, my garage filled up and a number of the infamous Honiton meets came and went ... How long ago was that?! I still have a Retrokade coin that Rav had pressed for his venture.

Anyway, a few house moves and storage containers later, I dared to browse UK VAC again and realised what I'm missing! I probably still have 15or so cabs in storage - I need to wake up some of it and see what works, and even more importantly, dig out all the test gear and fix some stuff!

Hopefully a few of the old timers are still around?

Steve

Well hey!

Welcome back! You're not the only one to step out of it for a while, I did too (and a few other old timers).

 

[AnDyC]

Welcome back dude

Hey welcome back Steve. So what cabs did you keep? Do you still have a Major Havoc/Space Duel conversion?

Dan

 

[Eddhorse]

The addiction starts again, you can do a barn raid video on your own collection

 

[Steve67]

Dan,

Great memory! I'd forgotten about the Maor Havoc until i saw that one pop up on ebay recently!

... from memory, the list is something like this ...

Woodgrain space duel + Major Havoc conversion kit

Star Wars upright

Star Wars Cockpit x 2

Space Duel

Black Widow

Asteroids

Midway SI x 2

Defender x 2

Joust

Space Panic

Berzerk x 2

Galaxian

Small jamma cab

Asteroids cocktail x 2

A few SI cocktails in various states

I'm crap at selling stuff, so moving house / storage was hard work!

 

[Steve67]

So ... Does that qualify as an addiction?!

 

[Equites]

So ... Does that qualify as an addiction?!

Probably not, but it does qualify as hoarding. Welcome.

 

[big10p]

Wow, that's quite a (valuable) stash you've got in storage.

 

[Alpha1]

We should change this to UKVAH, far too many hoarders sheesh.

Glad to have you back Steve, can't believe you forgot you had a Havoc!!! Get some of your machines out of storage and into the house!

 

[Steve67]

I never really got to play the Havoc - only got it just as everything started going to storage! One day I will get some spare time!

I tripped over a BNIB WG7200 the other day too, when did they stop making them?!

 

[Mr20to5]

WOW!! 2 SW Cockpit. Now isn't that just a little bitsy greedy??

You seem to have fallen foul of the dark side again.

Good luck getting all those beauties back into your house!!!!

And even though I wasn't around back then - Welcome Back.

 

[Steve67]

Well, I had one SW CP with a 19" WG6100 monitor, but then a dead one with a 25" Amplifone came up and I couldn't resist!

One day, all the duplicates will be sold or traded for other stuff .. but it's going to take a while!
