Your VAC 2014 wants list!

[Dex-Jay]

No cabs or boards - no space!

To Fix
My Star Wars Monitor - I've not touched this yet, I have a cap kit (not like I think that will do it) then pay someone to fix it! (P-Man??)

3 X WG Monitors - I've tried and failed to fix any, so those want doing too.

Start on the restoration of My Pac-Man cab. I've had some stuff powder coated but after the dalek is done tidy the lower timber, sand, prime and paint and hopefully get it in the house before Winter.

That will take me all year, especially with me finishing my Masters Degree!

I need to get a small woody cab that I can use to swap the few pcbs that I own.

Other than that it's to make sure all my other cabs are fixed up and working, hopefully all at the same time.

 

[cools]

Mint Japan flyers for Raiden DX, Fantasy Zone, Battle Garegga and Batrider.

B1 posters for the above where they exist would be nice too

Here's what I would like this year.

Cab

I'd like one final cab to run vert 15khz games (then it will strictly be 1 cab in 1 cab out)

At first I thought I want another candy and I'm not too fussed which model. But I also like to tinker and I like the idea of have a nice project.

I already have a Naomi and I like the look of cabs in pairs so as long as I could find a cheap Naomi shell and a decent and suitable 15K monitor then I'd be good to go. As I say I already have a Naomi and loved working on it, plus I have some left over spare parts which would be handy. The downside to this is I'd have to let my woody go due to Naomi's being a few mm wider than what space I have free. Another idea would be to convert a Dino king but these seem to go for a premium atm.

PCB's

I'd like to find a nice Splatterhouse boeard and also a few nice vert shooters.

This year I'd like to do a WG6100 scratch build. Pretty much sorted for cabs. Might be swayed by a Nintendo upright though .....

 

[ben76]

Get Spy Hunter running

Butasan pcb

That is all

[OTTOTHEMADANDEVIL]

Just a few for me:

Dedicated Gyruss Cab

Dedicated Berzerk Cab ( bit of a pipe dream I know )

And my main one, To finally beat the world record on Berzerk on the Atari 2600

IT WILL BE DONE PEOLPLE!!!!!!

 

[muddymusic]

I'm just about done with my pcb wants list, and now I've found I'm hankering for a select few cabs. Those being:

Space Harrier (with a seat)
Mappy
Paperboy

None of which are particularly easy to find or convince people to part with, but I'll persevere

Actually had the option to buy a Space Harriers bit over a year ago but was broke at the time. That's happened to us all I'm sure!

 

[Purity]

Looks like a bit of competition for a Paperboy then

 

[IndyJones]

Tops for me is a deluxe afterburner or space harrier, bubbling under are 720, indy jones & a 3 screen ninja warriors or darius, or both (I know, no chance on those 2)

 

[Russ J]

Just the 2 cabs for me hopefully

Robotron and a Defender....

Probably gonna get both but will most likley be scratch built by my fair hand (a project that i am really looking forward to tbh

)

This year I need to decide whether the garage or conservatory will be the home of my little arcade, both need rennovating. But, first I want to get my lovely ID2 cab back to it's former glory

, I want to finish building another Outrun 2 SP/ID2 cab which I've now got most of the parts for and I want to complete the PC/mame frankencab from the leftover bits.

Decide what to keep then hopefully get a Sega F355 Challenge driver.

I blame Alpha for my 'festering' addiction.

Cheers.

 

[IndyJones]

I rushed in, forgot to add Toobin onto the list as well, seems it's another one that doesn't come up for sale too often, Op thunderbolt as well would be nice

 

[frothmeister]

I think if the chance of a 720 came along I'd have to take it up but being realistic I very much doubt that will happen.

For me a classic 80s JPM fruit machine is the only thing arcade wise I expect to buy in 2014.

Well I have an awesome incoming JAMMA cab, but that has been lined up and paid for ages ago so it doesn't count.

This will be the year the games actually get played.

(Yeah I've said that before as well)

 

[Purity]

^^ 2014 is the year games get played. Quite agree

 

[neo-geo-mvs]

MVS

Money Puzzle Exchanger
Samurai Shodown V Special
Nightmare in the Dark

Sorta given up on these as prices are currently too high

PCB

Wouldn't mind a Japanese Street Fighter II Turbo
Original R-Type and R-Type 2 (under £100 each

) - not gonna happen

Cabs

6-button Electrocoin Xenon cab with original CPO and red joysticks
3-button Electrocoin Xenon cab with original CPO and red joysticks

If I had more space, a couple of candies (one vertical screen, other horizontal)

That would do me for a while

 

[Russ J]

I thought that's what everyone did with their working cabs...play them

...they are there to be 'thrashed the t1ts off' afterall,and just not admired from a distance when turned on in a darkened room

You say that but I have a most in storage, my gameroom/office has room for 2 pins and 2 vids with the idea of rotation. But I haven't rotated yet

Bigger house in 2017! Can't come soon enough!

Firstly need to actually build/fix/resto:

System II cab to paperboy, which requires stripping the other Paperboy cab down for bits and parts.

Putting together the Outrun Upright

Putting a mame set up in the little jamma cab I have

Sorting out the Moon Cresta Cocktail when it arrives

Wants:
US Upright Out Run Side Art
Medium Res Monitor for Paperboy (possibly, if the one I have does not work)

and I get all that done, I would not mind a
Centipede Cabaret cab
Crystal Maze Machine.

But what I really really need and want is time and money to do all the above.

 

[Jodo]

I have split these into appropriate categories; probably in order of how difficult it is to get hold of the cab in question, although that's a vicious rumour.

Vapourware, rumour and likely long trashed:




Prototype Space Harrier Dlx - and not just the different cab either but the early revision of the game where you were a jet fighter

Unobtainium:

Mad Planets (Still!)

Hang On Dlx LE

E.D.O.T

White Out Run Dlx

Super Sprint (25" monitor version)

The "I can't believe I had to pay another £600 to import one from the US. Damn." category:




TRON

Championship Sprint

2-Player Gauntlet 1

The "It's only a kidney and besides, I have two..." category:




Theatre of Magic Pin

Out Run Dlx

After Burner Deluxe

Super Hang-On Dlx

Hang On Dlx

Operation Thunderbolt (mini)

The "Wait, what? U72 bought it? Again? Aww man. Come on!"

category:




Sega Rally (Upright - White version)

Daytona USA (Upright)

Hang On (Upright)

PCB's / Kits:




Nemesis

Salamander

Salamander II

Donpachi

Deathsmiles

Gauntlet II

R-Type

(I'm going to finish my Star Wars cockpit and Space Harrier Dlx restorations...)
