    sweet, an electrocoin deut, when it rains it pours! check out this thread, one was recently purchased by a forum member.

    Your one isnt in great condition to be fair, without a game in it maybe 400\500 quid? if the monitor is working.

    Another one :eek: nice find!

    Is that in a countryside pub or something?

    Value will depend a lot on the state of the monitor.

    These Duets are like buses...

    You can get a replica control panel overlay here to get the cab in better condition:
    https://www.arcadeartshop.com/product/electrocoin-duet-cpo/

    I paid €600 for the same cab in excellent condition with no screen issues (no "burn") with a street fighter game plus around another €200 in total for delivery from UK.

    A little update lads and ladies. I'll be able to check this over tomorrow evening to see if the hardware is working.

    Ideally I'd like to sell it to someone who would restore it etc. Rather than put it on adverts for the world to annoy me is there a thread here for selling this sort of stuff?

    Ok, here's the good and bad.

    The cab is in far better condition than initially thought. Looks like the PSU is gone and there's no keys to open it but these are easily popped.

    I've been told it was in storage for the last few decades. Still has 10p in the slot and we've no idea what game is on it !! :)

    There's really a huge varience in what you might see.

    CPS1 street fighter boards can have a label on them alright. Neo Geo boards have a cartridge in them with the game on it, they have a label.

    However, it might have a Bootleg game (which wouldn't be labelled) or might have another game that's legit but has no label.

    If you can get a photo of the game we should be able to identify it. Unless it's something really obscure! :D

    You can see another interesting solution to getting it through a standard door was used on this to cut the base and control panel pieces completely off and bolt them back on. Good idea. Makes it easy to transport. Just make sure the cut and re-attached bottom piece with the castors is securely bolted back in as it would easily topple over and crush you if they are not secure.

    PSU is a standard Jamma PSU attached to a custom Electrocoin connector metal piece. Just drop in a new PSU.


    Monitor is a Hantarex Polo 28 (1st model) so quite old but common enough for replacement parts / repairs.


    The game board is accessed from the front bottom section. Open the 2x locks to the left and right of the coin return slot and it folds out to reveal the game board at the bottom.

    Does the bench lift off without cutting ? I noticed yours came in two parts on the pallet.

    Normally the seat/bench section lifts off but your one was slightly modified so the bench is now bolted in to the main cab.

    The cab is too big to fit through a standard door so your one has been modified to cut the control panel piece and the protruding part of the base off then it's all bolted back on. It makes it easy now to bring it through a standard door sideways.

    If you look under the bottom of the control panel you can open a hidden section (with a key...) and then put your hand in to pop the levers to the front and sides holding the top of the control panel in place. Then with the top of the control panel off I would guess you can take off your custom bolts to remote the entire control panel section.

    Then for the base I would again say you can get under it to take out the custom bolts to remove the entire base section.

    Can you take a pic of the board if you can see the PSU is gone? or is the back locked as well as the front?

    We should take bets on what is in there.. has to be Street Fighter 2. I remember playing football champ in one before as well years ago, but the control panel has six buttons on it so odds are its SF

    Yeh it’s brutal haha I remember at one stage they had a pool/snooker hall in where seven days was after it closed , it only lasted a while I think and there was a small room at the back with a couple of cabs In it and one of them was sf2 that bootleg you are talking about. I can still remember a load of us in there playing it.

    Was called XLBowl at the time. I was a regular there and had the honour of being the first to play SF2 CE edition. Remeber the day vividly.

    There was crowds behind me. Foolishly I selected Ken (the great thing about CE was you could select one or the 4 bosses but selected Ken by instinct) to the sound of groans behind me. I had a good run beating challengers until one of the SF2 regulars took me out with a Sagat Tiger upper cut.

    Memories. I want a unit now.

    Yeh they had 3 of these electrocoins in the outside part and 1 upright with street fighter 2 in the little "cave" room. Ive been trying to remember what cabs they had in it, they changed a few over the years but i remember if you are standing at the entrance to the cave room looking in, starting on your left

    Chase HQ upright
    Super Pang - later changed to tetris i think
    Football Champ
    Street fighter 2 WW
    Mortal Kombat 1 i think intially, maybe 2 later
    World Rally upright
    Simpsons 4 player then at the back wall, was also turtles 4 player at one stage
    Sunset riders
    Final Fight
    WWF Wrestlefest
    Puzzle bobble i think..
    Think i might be missing two cabs over on that right wall..

    Outside they had the 3 electrocoins and they also had 2 sit down candy type cabs, low down ones, not sure what they where but they where back to back. One was gemini wing and the other was a top down motorbike game shooter, you had a side car too, i found the name of it before but cant remember it now.

    Was a great arcade in fairness, id love to see a photo of it!

    I remember the place well. Tiny little room at the back with a handful of cabs in it. Can’t remember any of the other games that were there, only SF2. That game had some affect on the arcade scene.

    Was semi regular there myself, was wonderful walking in with a pocket full of 20p coins hearing the various SF2 machines blasting out sounds. First time I beat SF2 was up there

    Ah God i want a time machine. Would never have remembered them all but you have brought back the memories thanks! Was def MK1 first then MK2. Couldn't believe MK2 was so graphic at the time but when bought it on the SNES and it was all PG friendly without the blood!

    I went through phases of final fight, then wrestlefest (Wasnt it last fight v Legion of Doom to win the game?) then sunset riders and MK2 (sub-zero or raiden, never experimented further). SF2 and SF2 CE were the constants.

    A bit after but sega Virtua Racing was outside the room by the reception kiosk too. Played that quite a bit.

    When you say the psu is gone can I ask how you know if you can’t open it ?

    I’m just asking because I’ve bought cabs off people before and they just didn’t have a power cable plugged in the back. Another guy once didn’t know the cab had a power switch on the top he thought it wasn’t working.

    I’m not saying this is the case here but just curious how you can see the psu isn’t there if you can’t open it up ?

    A guess at this stage. I know about the switch at the top. Picking it up in the morning so I'll have some proper time with it rather than my first cursory glance.

    I got it home this morning after a lot of fun taking it apart . Thanks to everyone for the hint and tips of taking it apart.

    It has a GameBox 2008 emulator running with a push button coin by pass. 445 games including all the Street Fighters in the memory and basically every other great.

    The screen, sound and controls are all working. We even found the service sheet from 1991 in the back panel.




    Little edit :

    Just spent the evening sitting in the garage with this having some serious craic !! The sound is quite loud and the neighbours are wondering whats going on :P

    You should be able to turn the volume down on the board itself, if it’s not a physical button, in the service menu

    Nice machine, deadly it’s working, would you not keep it? I think the problem’s gonna be that few arcade enthusiasts in the country have the space for such a monster. Could be wrong but probably gonna be a difficult sell. Although I may be wrong(happened once before), Token maybe?
    Also the multigame’s very dated, running Linux based on p3 with 256mb ram.
