My grail cab turns up after 10 years

[Nintendo Arcade]

That upright that rich has just shown is Bruno's on DLF
It's beautiful.
This is Miyamoto first ever game in which he designed the art work .
All I need to do is get hold of one and call him up and get him to sign it for me

Easy

 

[RaveN]

It does look in wonderful condition. If it has issues you know it's bound to be the crappy PSU.
Find out when he's going on holiday

 

[slowcade]

There's always something he wants more. Find it, and propose a trade.
He may refuse initially, but such nostalgia items as this cocktail table tend to get old and boring after a while. And then he will be ready to sell.
It's like many of those people buying retro consoles nowadays to re-live their youth. Many barely test it once or twice, then it ends up on a shelf. And when that happens he'll think of you and that thing that he wants even more than a stupid old arcade game. Even if that thing is just money.

I'm sure many of us have been in the same situation. Keep asking. Eventually they cave in and sell it.

Yep, keep on asking, its taken me 3+ years to get the Outrun cab (that I got yesterday) persistence dude will get you everything if you want it enough.

Sorry Bruno

I meant you buddy
I am getting old
Lovely machine mate

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Sorted
I think it's because both of you have such great collections I forget who has what sometimes.
Anyway both great games

 

[strykr]

Its one fine machine thats for sure!!

Today I went to see the proud owner of the ultra rare Nintendo sheriff.
It was really nice to meet Ben who had this in the family for 30 odd years, 20 of those years it's been non working
So it was great to get it working for him
I have to say I was a little gutted it wasn't mine but at least I got it working for him.
The controls are very awkward at first,the left stick controls the movement of your avatar and the nob to the right which looks like a gas cooker nob moves his arm 360 around his body,but you have to push it it to fire .
Very unique for its time .
Here are some pics of my day

Very cool.

 

[muddymusic]

You're a top man for fixing it for him, such a rare cab and it has been well looked after over the years. Really nice to see.

 

[Equites]

Thanks for sharing, the cocktail still looks new.

Nice work Alex, must have been hard not throwing used fivers at him and bundling it in the van!
