Glad you got refund back

I have a sega touring cab
Running outrun from an Xbox
If your interested in a driving cab project ..

I always thought it was odd that as he previously sold loads of cabs via Arcade Otaku with many happy buyers that he didn't advertise there again.

 

[Retroman839]

I was going to by one of him he never answered me back ..

Hope he’s ok
seems odd

I know he was investing/running a micro brewery but don't know how it turned out.

Got the refund back off ebay today. The guy never replied to anything I sent to him. I know some people did ok, but I would 100% suggest avoiding him in the future. I gave so many opportunities for him to reply. It was the last thing on his site so he might have just shut down his operation a left the listing up. I'd still like a project Candy so open to suggestions. I had an OK Baby that I probably should have kept.

Disappointing not to get the cab and have your time wasted but at least eBay buyer protection kicked in.

Sorry to hear you didn't get the cab but I'm glad you got your money back

I'm sure I will find something else to waste my money on

Time for a quick update on the U4. Not much progress really but i've picked up a few things I need for the restore. I've also called around a few local companies to get some quotes for powder coating and re-chroming the control panel.

Next week I'll remove the old chassis and send it off to see if it can be recovered. If it works, I'm pretty sure I can sell the replacement and not lose money, or keep it to have a spare on hand. Breakdown of recent(ish) costs so far, not including the price of the cab.

Item	Price
17 x JSF First branded barrel locks	£25
Replacement repro MV-1C card reader	£50
Replacement OEM MV-LED	£25
Replacement TOEI-TC A252S	£200
Start / Credit overlay panel	£20.99
New decal set + SNK phone number sticker	£29.05

Pictures below are from arcade art repo.

Haha my U4 is secure af!

It was a job lot on yahoo Japan, the cab only has 6 locks I think @jerryspaghetti needs some so I figured I’d chuck a few his way.

If anyone else needs a couple let me know. Will swap for fully working U4.

[Retroman839]

[neoretro]

Really hard to say… the availability of cabs has massively dried up, but people are also spending less, so I don’t really know if those factors have cancelled each other out?!

I bought mine about four years ago for £1800 (€2200), but sadly I got smashed for about £400 import tax/fees too.

I’ve done a lot to it, and if something drastic happened that forced a sale I’d want at least £2500. I’m honestly not sure it’s ‘worth’ that much though.

These cabs in poor condition seem to go much cheaper, so if you’re double confident with a refurb then that’s got to be the move (I know your question was specifically about cabs already in good condition, but just saying)
