About
The Cab
OutRun2 is a favourite of mine and I’ve been
keeping an eye out for a nice machine for a while. Also I liked the idea of
getting a machine which I could never have had at my old address. I’ve recently moved house and have more space
in my new games room. The room also has
the advantage of being on the ground floor, so no more lugging arcade cabinets
up the stairs! I posted a wanted ad and
when Joel / Retrorepair (Ukvac) contacted me regarding his Japanese OutRun2, a
deal was made and my wife and I ventured down to sunny Southend to pick it up.
The cabinet is in
really nice condition. The side panel
and seat plastics are excellent with no damage / cracks and the artwork looks
brand new. It looks like the machine was
an OutRun2 at some point as SP art has been applied over OutRun2 art and there
is slight overlap.
The base was pretty dusty and has some user wear, but cleaned up really
well. I spent a good few hours cleaning
the base, inside and out. Here are some pics
under the hood, before and after cleaning.
