I don’t mind that actually as it is rustic and shows basic carpentry skills.

But their parents are gonna be pissed when they see what happened to the sauna.

I am from NI and you will probably laugh but we do like our pallets around here.

I know ones who make furniture out of them too and they look alright. This cab isn’t anywhere near the worst compared to some of the monstrosities before. Lol.

I will respectfully disagree

reminds me of this

think the only way to enjoy these properly is to use them as a functional table too. ours is used as a coffee table and gets regular play. But ironically they need a much bigger footprint than a standard cab so they're hard to really integrate in a game room were it's easier to fit two standup cabs

Where did you get yours.
I love them TBH. What would they set you back?

got it from a lad on UKVAC. It was one of the cabs from the Peter Davis raid : https://arcadeblogger.com/2016/08/06/pete-davies-the-invadar-arcade-collection/
I got it cheap enough but had to import it of course and then do a good bit of restoration and rust removal and whatnot. The monitor was fried on it and converted it to frogger : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSQCSGNm-wY&list=PL0bJS5Upwp5GDky5cNm4Dh5GWFX8f7OxN

I think you mean Pete Davies!

Peter Davis is an entirely different, morally bankrupt, person who should never be mentioned in this forum again, being devoid of any worthy qualities at all.

If I saw this up the north with a tri colour on the side I'd think it was an 11th of July bonfire.

Tis a fine barn, but sure it is no arcade cabinet, English

Can anyone direct me to a reliable full size arcade cabinet seller in Ireland. (Or the UK). Looking to add a complete one, but not sure where to start. Thanks

Think I threw up a little in my mouth.

He's ruined a good blanket box

I wonder is the screen exposed or is there glass over it.

deadl0ck · 12-08-2019 12:34pm

Still though - it's a bargain for €1000
You get:
- A blanket/gimp box
- An old 32 inch flat screen TV
- A Raspberry Pi

Saw this on Ebay...

o1s1n · 29-09-2019 6:38pm

On the plus side, if you ever wanted to learn to play the piano there are definitely enough buttons there to emulate one :eek:

Ronan|Raven · 29-09-2019 6:40pm

They had the space, why the joystick placement?!

Christ, imagine playing Street Fighter with the buttons to the left, weird.

CiDeRmAn · 01-10-2019 4:01pm

I'd say that's built by someone who has never played a video game, ever.

o1s1n · 01-10-2019 4:16pm

Good way to always win in two player games of Street Fighter 2 though.

'You're sh1te'

'THE CONTROLS ARE BACKWARDS!'

'Yeah yeah yeah, sure thing, blame the controls' :rolleyes:

If only Banjo Guy was a Piano Guy this would be perfect.

BGOllie · 07-10-2019 11:03am

oh my god!
that's either brilliant or terrible.

I'm gonna go with terrible, but in a brilliant sort of way

07-10-2019 6:22pm

It could be worse, at least the button layout is decent...and no lights!!

Oh deary me,
looking through his sold items also has some "gems".

The nastiest buttons you can buy,
A nasty LCD stuck to a piece of wood,
The "art" bubbling off
chrome tmold
Oh yea,and the button layout!

o1s1n · 11-10-2019 10:43am

Gotta love the way the first picture on the ad is in the dark, on some level he must also appreciate the fact that it's a monstrosity.

Regarding the controls, he could have put the stupid screen a few inches higher and had it looking...normal.

But no, apparently you aren't playing arcade games correctly unless you have your hands in a piano playing position and are staring down at your crotch.

11-10-2019 10:56am

Also that room looks like Hans Fritzls basement !

Optimus Prime · 11-10-2019 11:04am

He could have mounted the screen below the wood to hide the name on it. Also there is severe bubbling in the vinyl on it. I just hope he is a kid and if so fair play to him. Thats my only hope..

CiDeRmAn · 11-10-2019 11:08am

Only hope for that is petrol and a match!

o1s1n · 11-10-2019 3:28pm

Weird badge nipple things aside, is it just me or does it look like some kind of optical illusion?

My brain can't make sense of the cabinet size versus the stick and button size.

Haha! Now that you say that, I can't believe I couldn't see what they were :eek:

I'm just happy we have 19 pictures. Probably about 3 of the same ones repeated over and over

super_furry · 11-10-2019 4:39pm

It honestly looks like someone tried to make one of those cheap Chinese linux emulation handhelds for a giant.

On a brighter note, if this was the Fallout universe, that cab would be worth a fortune!
