Great detective work @BodsIt's amazing what we do miss sometimes or forget about.
The driving cab on ebay is pretty much a match for WEC Le Mans just one pedal less but same sloping control panel

The prize my friend is you get to restore it back to its former glory 😂
I can provide all the button screws you might need and a brand new kettle lead. All Gratis

Just my luck
Unless its been altered with the pedal it could have been LeMans but they did many upright drivers with one pedal so could have been anything but it's that style cab at least and another Electrocoin that needs saving but seems to be getting like the older days because most of us have run out of space unfortunately
Ideal cab if it was £150-200 for mame/teknoparrot multidriver. stick a brake pedal in too, already got a return to centre shifter like later sega drivers
Mines now in hands of Neil RMC at the Museum and working with an Amiga inside. He did a video

That is a very worthy home for it !
Sure it will be enjoyed by lots of people while being well maintained and cared for.
These are really old and rubbish pics of how it was when I first bought it but unfortunately they're the best I can find of my Elite and it's to buried to take more at the moment.
The control panel had been converted for Neo Geo when I got it which was a shame. Luckily though, and against all the odds, I eventually managed to acquire a fully original 2 button cp in very good condition and it's got the correct sticks and buttons on now same as the flyer.

That’s brilliant Matt! Looks fantastic the control panel you picked up.
Yeah was lucky with that one. I've only ever seen 4 or 5 Elite control panels that haven't had buttons added. Not surprising really as they were probably converted to play better games very quickly. I'd be surprised if they even made 100 of these before dropping them. I think the highest serial number I've seen is in the 30s, mine is 004 I think. Cool piece of history though.
Yes that's certainly some rare stuff!
There was a Cab on ebay a few years back but I can't find Photos, it was like Op Wolf / Gang Hunter cab but slightly different front, think it had double coin door setup instead of the single with wood door set back, was trying to find what that was originally
Got a spare Op Wolf gun in bits and one from that Goliath gun cab with the Op Wolf bootleg, pretty much identical gun but some buttons different for start, got feedback weight missing as just took top off it, would have been ideal to make gun like this Gang Hunter cab

Haha yeah, it will turn into us just boring everyone, which is fine by me! 😀This was interesting to read through, I probably missed it before

Just a Question Matt, is this a private thread or is it just the 3 of us with Electrocoin stuff now
Yeah that was a good thread. It was great seeing those pics Tedward posted showing the "Prototype" marquees I have on site in a cab as I'd never seen a pic of them in action before. Mad that it was in an American mag too.
I remember the cab you're talking about, there's a thread on it on here somewhere.
