, infact it was Outrunners (the twin sit down) that we enjoyed in our courtship years on Brighton seafront and it has been one of my 3 grail cabs. (I think we can all safely assume what the other 2 are! and they may be closer now too).

Story here, is I have recently been selling up everything to clear house and be ready for the baby, sadly hobbywise, made my decision and sold on my Zac cab and pretty much everything Jamma I had, thinking I'll keep my Outrun/Paperboy stuff and keep those dreams alive for the future.

I had also been collecting Outrunners parts for a while on the slim off chance one may turn up one day. So the day my Zac cab was being collected and my family were away, there I was, ill in bed and off work faffing around on ebay and found this cab very badly listed, asked the seller if he would do a deal, which he agreed with around 10mins left of the auction, I stuck a max bid on as it was too late to pull/end the auction and luckily won it at the exact agreed price. I didn't think to ask about size/weight/ art work at the time. So money I had saved up went on this and now its here, gulp.

Fired it up early and it all seems to play fine, monitor seems huge, but measuring it, it seems to be 20" I think, certainly looks bigger than my previous cabs. Had no idea it had this topper on top too! Its taller than my big fridge.

I have a spare ignition key (with the stickers on) in my parts collection, so will swap that over. Got a spare pcb in my box too, along with other bits. Most of these uprights only have one side art on as they would ideally come in pairs. This is a Deith leisure cab with all Sega serial stickers on it. Not seen a white one with blue T-molding before. Infact can find not much info online at at all on uprights to be honest.

Nice clean example though, aside the leaves on it where we dragged it through the hedge to get it to my side gate.

I would love some Side Art on it though.

I found that picture above when re-searching the cab, I had assumed they were all that height! as it looked pretty short, either that or the chap in the picture is super tall. There was some NOS artwork in a joblot on ebay back in May I think, with a load of other stuff like Neo Geo Marquees, artwork etc, it ended at £26 for it all, I missed it, but emailed the seller at the time (and several times after) to see if they could let me know who won it to try and buy the side art, but they just point blank don't reply. They have private feedback too, so can't even work out who won it from that, gutting

Ha! nobody in those pictures looks like that any more :) I am pleased to see the photo of my 'cheaters' score on paperboy is still there for posterity though.
