New Arrival

oh without doubt never again,
I'll be going to Ronnie in future and obviously I'll never be recommending him ever.
Live and learn

You see its things like that that'd put me off ever buying from him...aftersales is key. Stuff can & does go wrong, its how its dealt with that makes the difference. Constantly failing to make contact & being put on the long finger would put me right off

Does he actually offer any aftersales support though and to what extent ?

Now I know in this case the screen was DOA so absolutely should be replaced promptly and at no charge to the buyer. The seller is really taking the piss here..

But if something fails in 6 months or a year ? Unless you buying a warranty of some kind with it then you're kind of screwed it would seem.

I wouldn't expect much care after six months for a cab from anyone really, stuff breaks on them...you expect that. When I say aftersales in this context, I'm talking about the cab being DOA

I'm on the lookout for a new cab myself and I was thinking of a blast city from DSD. Wont be purchasing off him after all the crap you've gone though. I'd really like to pick up something from within this country, be so much handier, fingers crossed something pops up

It's mad the amount of cash we're all dropping on these things when so many have arrived with issues :pac:

Keep hounding him Urbanledge, only way to do it it seems!

The Last Bandit

DOA's can happen with anything but its how its dealt with makes the difference. Based on the experiences here I'd not be too keen to purchase for this guy tbh.

Tried him 3 or 4 times today,
If theres no sign of getting sorted soon im going to abuse him over on J+ and AO.

TechnoFreek

To be honest, I couldnt imagine Ronnie being much better in the same situation.

Folks on here have had positive and negative experiences with both sellers.

It almost semms like its pot luck if you get a cab working in the condition Lu expect.

OK update from Jeff as of 2mins ago

Monitor on bench at ak -can be fixed and shipping will be booked in today for collection from london to ireland tomorrow

He also says he tried calling me back today and got a Dutch woman.

Either that or the fire brigade are cutting him down as we speak. Arcade cabs have been known to have that effect

right here we go,



Its ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CosmicSmash

Great news, glad you got it sorted.

o1s1n

Worth the wait

Cant wait to see your Egret II beside it!

and thank **** for that,
heres a pic of the grid. absolutely almost perfect!


Im a happy man,
The buttons and sticks are absolutely shoot to pieces.there dirt
The CP wiring needs a total overhaul.
I ordered a new CP a few weeks ago so when all thats done I'll take some proper pics.
I think the screen is too bright so I'll sort that out tomorrow but the picture is savage.

Did they tell you what was actually gone on the chassis as a matter of interest?

Yeah. Curious to know this myself

No,I asked Jeff but no reply,
I'll ask again tomorrow.
There is a sticker on the chassis now says repaired by ak amusements 6/3/13

Just had a few games of strikers 1945 and neo geo world cup 98
savage stuff.
the scan lines are crazy!

o1s1n

Chances are it's going to be a long time before your chassis goes out on that cab now. Nice to get it out of the way at the very beginning

Buttons were rubbish on my cab when I got it too. I don't think Ronnie swaps them out, just sells them on with whatever came in it.

TechnoFreek

The stick and buttons in my Atomiswave are in rag order as well. Jeff replaced one of them at most and I suspect that was even new either.
