I've recently used Rewind Bits to buy two Sega Game Gear capacitor kits, and found the products had a great attention to detail. All the capacitors were laid out & labelled, and even came with a…

The last thing folks here probably need is another handheld emulator, but folks over in bargain alerts are saying these are very good.

Has a Ciderdude SD card slot too to fit more games on.

Comes to something like €22 with this code 6e3c0c68f4

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057151640

Ah balls, looks like that discount code doesn't work.

This one will get you 5% off - spring6

edit - bought one for the craic. Came to €21.38 posted with the code.

I'd love to, who knows what cabs are in it. The hassle of getting them from galway by the 6th of March though. Don't think I could do that.

Stand up black cabs.

I sold it to my cousin tho so I'll get it back one day.

There was just something about it.it played wonderfully and was so reliable

ELG? He's actually a really decent chap! bought some stuff from me last year.

I'd have no interest in these cabs but would love to know what PCB treasures they may hide within... any Galway locals remember an arcade around those parts and what games they remember playing?

My first cab was the same sort of trad Brit cab, and I was happy to have it but even happier to trade for a Candy.

ELG is a decent lad. His cabs might be a little bit more than you'd like to pay for them but he keeps them in immaculate condition and makes sure that they get transported without any damages etc.

Most of the cabs you pick up for a hundred or two have been bashed about and require alot of restoration work.

You get what you pay for if you ask me.

Not a bad profit on 1.5k! :eek:

At one time I was considering dropping €750 on a MK2 cab on adverts. This was before I knew anything about arcade machines.

Funny how your opinions can change with a bit of experience!

Although, I'd still love a MK2 cab...

These Cabs again from Galway, some amount came from there over the Years,
Would Sathill been biggest spot in Ireland for Arcades in its day. Never been to Bray so dont have a clue.
The Savoy Cork was biggest arcade Id say ive been in, its a huge space, and filled with so many great machines.
Loved playing Chase HQ, Mad Do mcagree and usual Turles, SF, MKs etc

I was lucky lad from Cabra got load cabs from Closed arcade in Galway,
He bring one over at time to dublin and sell it. Id say he got the lot for free if he moved them quick enough.
Got Sega Rally, Sega upright off him, he Megalo and SRally2 and more too.
He went missing even after paying for some, but still happy out.

Starting to get less excited if its 30 black generic cabs now.
Nothing will beat that Ship in Liverpool being cleared of proper cool oldschool cabs.

Yeah I hope someone decent gets their hands on them. ELG seems to have some materials at his disposal, rigid trucks at the drop of a hat haha

Be great if he got them and they were some decent cabs. Played his cards right around these parts he could give a few of us a nice deal. We'd get some savings, he'd make some money and some poor cabs would get some nice new warm homes.

I remember getting the ones from Cork, great craic picking up a pile of unknown cabs, rooting through to see which ones have pcbs and what dusty gold you might find haha... would love to do it again, the timeline was too short though, we should all keep about 500 aside in case something like this ever comes up again!

It's a hard one to judge. Very possible someone got in years ago and cleared out all the PCBs, just leaving cabs.

Also very possible that didn't happen and it's a goldmine of boards.

Exciting stuff
