Arcade cabs for sale

DesG · 2006-09-29 18:47:36

Howdy! I have some arcade cabs that I will probably be selling, just posting a heads up here to see if there is any interest. They have been in dry storage for about the last few years, and my wife has finally won the battle and persuaded me to sell some of them. So, if anyone is interested, post on here and I'll answer…

They have been in dry storage for about the last few years, and my wife has finally won the battle and persuaded me to sell some of them.

So, if anyone is interested, post on here and I'll answer any questions. The cabs are based in North Dublin, and Lisburn in the North.

Asteroids
Gauntlet
Chase HQ
Paperboy#1
Paperboy#2
and I think 3 or 4 jamma cabs in various setups.

Cheers, Des.

Post here, or PM me.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I have some pics, but I will need to sort out some close ups when I get time.

As a long time collector of arcade games/boards etc. I just wanna let you guys know that Des is perhaps the biggest collector in the country with some total classics in his collection. I've known Des for perhaps 5 years and he's a star bloke.

If any of you guys are thinking of buying his stuff - buy in total confidence.
Also, these babies are rare as hens teeth in most cases, so dont expect to get them for buttons.

If you guys are serious about getting a classic piece of gaming history, this is a real opportunity as I expect they will end up on eBay UK very soon and leave the country for good. :-(

Just my 2c worth.

Thanks
Aidan. aka Defenderdude

Thanks for the kind words Aidan!

To everyone else, I will be taking close up photos tomorrow, and detailing condition.

Once I have done that I'll post some prices for you.

Cheers, Des.

I have just come across a few boxes of control panels.

I will be sticking them on Ebay UK, but just in case anyone local needs them to restore a machine I will list them here.

Only ask if you actually need one of them!

Tron x 2
Centipede x 3 (1 of them has a Willis overlay)
Frenzy x 1

Cheers, Des.

Atari Gauntlet and Paperbpy originals, very nice!! I am interested in buying another JAMMA cab, but it must be a six button machine. What cabs do you have up North? I'm only 35 mins away from you here in Dungannon. If i had more space i'd definitely buy that Gauntlet off you, surely there can't be many working ones left in Ireland?

Also, would any of you know where I could source a 19" Wells Gardner monitor? Please? Please? :rolleyes:
It's for an full-size Sega OutRun upright. Thanks.

Oh by the way, I too was once the proud owner of a Chase HQ cabinet. Such a great game. Brilliant machine to have around the house with friends and late night drinking involved.
Sadly, I had to let go of it to make way for other machines..

Hey monkeyfudge, I see you're into your Transformers. I was a Transformers nut back in the 80's. I had every single issue of the Transformers comic up to around issue 130, then my dad chucked 'em all out and set fire to them..:(

I still have all the original toys, most of the boxes and most of the original release videos though..

Well be sure to visit the new forum we got for Transformers on boards.ie

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=843

It's been really popular... Lots of fans out there.

Just found this forum by this thread so my knowledge of pretty much everything retro is very limited. I'm curious though, how much would someone expect to pay for a SF2 machine? I'd love to get one. Doesn't have to be original.

Few hundred.
You could also buy an old arcade cabinet and convert it to run MAME (are you familiar with MAME?) - see Build your own arcade controls website.

I've played some emus yea. Would it just be a case of putting a pc inside an old cabinet and buying some pc compatible controllers?

I'm based in Leixlip myself deadl0ck, you aren't by any chance selling a sf2 machine are you?

I'm afraid not

I actually converted an old NeoGeo caband use a SlikStik as the controller. It runs MAME - it's the only way to go !!

Well, a few days later than planned...

I will place each machine in a seperate post on adverts.ie andif I am allowed, will post a link to each advert on this thread.

I hope that is ok with everyone.

Cheers, Des.

No problem DesG. There seems to be a lot of interest in these cabs so by all means post links to adverts.ie
