I am struggling to think how to get it here...

an idea...

Chappy, ( or anyone close to it ) do you have transport big enough to collect it, and store it until an event like revival.

Then take it to revival with your own kit/cabs

then I will take it from revival with mine...

just ideas..

I think it would be great to have another VR machine restored in the UK.

I think the reality is that you need to get a van, a plan and just go up there and get it. As the land is owned by someone, you are asking Chappy to trespass on site and remove a large item of questionable ownership. If the rozzers or owners of the property start asking difficult questions to a ninja'd up Chappy in a transit, it's going to put him in a very awkward situation.

The landowners might genuinely not give a f... but, it's a risk so I would make it mine rather than someone elsesMilky2014-01-09 18:53:46

Milky is right.

If you take this without permission you will either have to get it yourself, or someone will have to accept the risk

Alternatively if you ask for permission, there is a chance that they will say "No". If you then take it, they will know who to look for.

If they say "Yes", then other people could get involved in helping you to uplift it

It's a tough one

This.

If you want it that badly then go get it.

Just to reinforce this point, you need to stop posting in this thread with possible solutions when the correct one is clearly to get a van and go get it without further delay.

If its in this thread then it is now public knowledge, otherwise it will just end up on eBay next week.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trespass_to_land#Scotland

"Trespass is an offence under Scots Law; however, the legislation was amended under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 which established universal access rights to most land and inland water. These reforms do not apply (hence trespass remains an offence) to:

Houses and gardens, and non-residential buildings and associated land"

So, dodgy grey area... and that's before we talk about lifting an item after crossing the boundaryMilky2014-01-09 20:10:31

Best bet is drive as cheap as possible to Scotland and meet up with the Scot massive.

Then offsite it so Martin can go get it.

Sheesh, you need to post more with your logic and wisdom sir.

Ben always speaks the truth, his avatar should read 'The Oracle'.

Hehe

Not everyone thinks like this. Speaking the truth seems to get me in trouble

get me contact details and pay for a transit and diesel, i will get it down in time for martin arriving at mine. i would estimate £50 for fuel and possibly the same for a van. i will ensure i have a spare body with me to uplift it. i had thought of trying to dis-mantle it but i don't think it will be possible due to rust etc. if it's getting snaffled it will be in 1 big lump. lmk what you think and i will start the ball rolling.

With an LCD and a 60-in-1 board in it?

I'd think I'd go that bit further and put a 485 in it!

Lol,

but NONE of the games would be as good as an original VR game - so let me have it and restore it :p

I`m waiting to find out if its available!

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...
