The Electrocoin owners thread

[_Matt_]

Well the offer stands Matt.
The physical condition of the cabinets look so poor they look unmovable in their current state. I wonder even if ratchet strapped up or a quick timber cradle was made whether they could be moved ?
Is your existing cabinet the same design and shape ?
Guessing there could be monitors inside and the frame is keeping the cabinet together perhaps? ….sad to see . I don’t know anything about either of these games.
Have you seen one in the flesh before or just in a magazine?

Cheers Ant!

Yes I've got the same cab with Cosmic Wars in. My Cosmic Wars is missing the Bezel and control panel though so I will eventually swap it to a new game. I everything for a Cosmic Guerilla too which I was going to swap over but still haven't got around to doing it. I thought I'd put mine in this thread? Maybe not!

I spotted a Mazeman in an old industry magazine in the background. I may have seen one back in the day but no way to remember for sure. And my flyer is the only other pic I've seen.

Yeah it's not just moving it onto a van, it's moving it off, then getting it down a step up a step etc and these cabs are pretty big and very heavy. I wouldn't fancy moving it myself but I'm sure it good be done if well thought out.

He did tell me I could make an offer on all 3. I'd never ask for parts off cabs that could possibly be saved but was worried that Mazeman in the state it's in wouldn't sell and he could just scrap the lot! Seen it to many times.

Hopefully someone will grab the lot.

If I had the space and could drive that far without getting a bad neckache and headache (as I always seem to do these days, furthest I go these days is about 125 miles (so about 250 round trip) and I get the same aches every time!) i'd be happy to rescue them, as I have a high roof lwb Transit. As I say above, unfortunately though my storage is rammed full right up to the doors!

I fall asleep if I drive for more than a couple of hours, I have to argue with the wife to keep me awake!

That's what Modern Vehicles are for, you can nod off and it will beep to tell you with the Driver Monitor Camera, cracking world we have

Subject to delivery I have bought a couple of projects.

Apparently all there but we shall see. I’ve wanted one of these for a while as I love the Neo geo’s so will go well with my others.

Hopefully I can get them fixed up ok, no idea what is actually wrong with them so bit of a gamble but price was good

Nice projects !
I did a 6 slot last year and a couple of 4 slots . The original glass with the silver and red halftone pattern is often missing and the main thing with the 6 slots (asides from the mobos) is the LED selector light board not functioning correctly. I still need to look at my Led panel, a guy was making repros but unfortunately stopped.
Nice big 25” MTC Hanty monitors on these !

The glass is apparently there for both so hopefully that should be ok and I have spare six slot boards if these are broken. i think there was two versions of the glass from looking at original adverts? The one on the left doesn’t seem to have the half tones but the right one does and it’s included.

Re the marquee light I was researching this for another project and saw this recently:

This was the 6slot I did, need to find some
More recent photos .

Looks great!

Looks great!

Cheers mate, I was very lucky with the stenciling being in such good
Condition .

I have not seen this flyer version in person before. The glass design is much simpler than Electrocoins standard design. Also the white memory card cover makes me wonder if this Is possibly an artist impression?

Full glass design - only Neo geo I have with the full screen print. Normally screen print cut for credit info on side.

They look lovely, they really are great looking machines. Easily matched how nice the big reds look.

Yeah I’ve no idea, hopefully I can post better pics of everything once they arrive and I can see everything a bit better. Hopefully nothing is missing

Yep, classic Electrocoin cabinets . The 6 slots with the screen size and stereo sound are awesome but equally the compactness and reliability of the 4 Slot version is also nice.
Once they arrive will be able to help with anything not present.

Thanks appreciate it. I’m looking forward to getting them going!

Noticed this Xenon for sale on ukvac Facebook page which has the original stencil speaker panel. Lesser spotted !

Big thanks @Bods for trading these lovely bits of artwork which will be used on the midi driver Spy Hunter !

Respraying the cabinet in the next couple of weeks so will be back to new and then hopefully ready for internal work.
