no I wouldn't do that, if it was nearer to me I would actually seriously have it in my workshop now for one of you guys to organize collection of it, I wouldn't have done it for any profit

I would have done it just to help you guys on here, regardless of what some people might think of me...

:D thanks!

even tho its hard to transport as they are big!

I`m working on it...... as soon as I know I can `have` it, I`ll be arranging to get it collected by anyone who can - if not me!

You're a top bloke mate! I know you've converted a few games but to be honest most were pretty sh*t anyway so no harm done

well no more converting dedicated cabs for me, I don't want the rep of doing that anymore, just small jamma generic cabs, and I'll try and have more monitors in them, but for home use I prefer the LCD, then I can sleep better at night without the me dreaming of burning out cabs in peoples homes etc

lets hope they say yes to the VR, be great to get it for resto

I regret not waiting in line at Revival and having a go

To all,

Unless you can help me in any way, I will be leaving the VR to its demise :(

I cant justify spending the same kind of money on getting that to my home - that I spent on my fully working VR machine.

If anyone can help, let me know asap as I will then contact Tesco ( who own the land -ready to build a store end in March) to arrange a time to collect it.

That ball has already started rolling - but I still cant justify the cost.

thanks for that offer..

I have been told that Tesco will be starting the dev of their store there between end of March, to early April.

so time is running out on it.

If it cant happen - then so be it ( tho I would still like it )

I don't think Tesco will care if you pulled up in a van and loaded it

I am surprised a scrappy aint grabbed it already for scrap value

Definately. If you know that Tesco own the land and are intent on clearing it for a store then it will get binned
I respect that - even tho I dont want it to!

but as I said, I cant justify a 2 day journey nearly 1000 miles in total plus and over night stay and hire of a van - and possible loss of time from work...

I hate that I cant have it, but I cant due to the cost and its missing parts.

I`m saving my money for restoring what I already have - and to see if there is any ` more complete` systems.

all that..

again, if some one can think they can get it : please let me know, and I`ll contact the guy at Tesco.

there are people going there from time to time to `survey` the site, so if they are on site, and arrangement can be made so that its `not` classed as trespassing....

if it was something that i wanted badly then i would have already been and got it weeks ago.
if i lived up that way i probably would have gone and saved it anyway.
