IT IS THE NINETIES AND THERE IS TIME FOR...







About The Cab

It seemed like
this cab was for sale forever on Ebay and on Jamma+ and Ukvac arcade
forums. In the end I decided to buy it
mainly for my wife, with Klax being one of her favourite games. Plus I thought it would be cool having an
Atari cab and would bring something a bit different to my collection. When the cab arrived, I was short of space
and it ended up behind the TV in the lounge for a while. Then we moved house and all my cabs were put
into storage during the transition. Finally
Klax takes pride of place in my new games room.


The cab was made
in Ireland, Tipperary town.




Interestingly it
looks like the cab has been operated in Germany, with Deutsche Marks on the
coin inserts.


The Good

-The cab is fully
working!


-There are some
small marks from general wear and tear, but the cab is generally in excellent
condition.




-The monitor is a
Wells-Gardner, Model No. 19K7901, and the picture is great with no noticeable
burn.




-Being a cabaret,
the cab is nice and compact.


-The cab is funky,
with nice side art and chrome T-moulding.


-The bezel is in
great condition.


-The cab is
extremely clean inside. Other than a bit
of a hoover up inside the base, I haven’t had to do anything to it.




-The instruction
card is intact and attached to the rear door.


-It came complete
with manual and keys


-With the cab
being Jamma standard there is always the option to put other one button puzzle
games in there as well.


The Not So Good

-There is some
slight cigarette burn on the left hand side of the control panel.


-A small section
of side art on the right hand side has started to peel away.


-The coin door key
is missing and one of the locks is missing the latch.


-My wife is very
good at the game, and I’m not.


A massive thanks to Danscu (Ukvac) for this cab, I’m really pleased to
add it to my collection.

True, I swear it was about a year ago or maybe less it was sold on by Danscu? I remember getting offered this cab when Arcade Barn were selling up, kinda wish I'd bought it, as a lovely small cab. Good to see its still about in the arcade collectors world :)

Yep, I've definitely been tempted by it once or twice over the years as it has come up for sale a few times within the community at quite a sensible price!

Congrats Jase, it's a lovely looking cab. I've just never got into the game all that much - also never played the proper arcade version, just remember it on the Amiga really.

Iconic sample. No idea why this was for sale so long, reminds me my visits here should be less sporadic, I never seem to be quick enough on cab sales, let alone see them not selling when they are that niceradfoo2016-09-16 22:34:18
