I am just saying, that Robotron Cocktail is never going to fit where you want it. I will take it off your hands for $200 (shipped).

While we're jumping in to take things off his hands....

I've got dibs on the Tempest. That is my Holy Grail of cabs. I've got the coin, just haven't run into one that is perfect (i'm picky)

So....if that is one that you don't have room for....call me.....please.....pretty please...

Why is it a big secret that you are getting the machines from Archer?

How much would a Star Wars cockpit go for? Someone posted one on Craigslist here recently. It looks to be in decent shape. I'm just wondering what the going rate for this with all the interest. I kinda keep an eye on arcade postings, but haven't really got in to buying or working with real arcade games (not enough room and enjoy building).

Hey, I was asked not to say where they were from, but the deal is done, so I guess it doesn't matter. I was careful with which pics I posted, some were watermarked, I left them out. Nowhere did I say in this thread it was a secret, I just didn't say. It certainly wasn't that I thought people would jump in and try and get 'em. I didn't want to lose them by p-ing the seller off.

I don't really see WHY it matters where they are from anyway.

If people know the seller, they know he is thinning his collection. But all that aside, I still don't see why people should post names on a forum, even if it is just the first one

That said, sorry for having a fit yesterday, it had been a long day.

To everyone else, thanks for the kind words.

I missed 4 or 5 cabs off the list, too.

Once they are all in their new home, I will post pics. Or, it's £10 on the door

I did a quick replay, I thought the :cheesy: was going to give me a cheesy grin from the smilies. I thought that comment was funny, I would not tell anyone where the stuff was, it's no one's business however it was fun to laugh about.

So you got the cabs?

drawfull · « **Reply #58 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:20:47 pm »

No worries, like I said it had been a long day

Not yet, the 12th.

I was just thinking (day dreaming really) about a brand NIB Robotron. I've seen them pop up before over the past few years. Verticals, now a cocktail. Whats up with that, how did they survive 30 effin' years of no one tearing that open and gettin' their robo on?

I cannot understand that one...

It's easy to keep things in stellar shape. It's hard for people to do those things. In some cases, it gives a kind of rise to know you have something tucked away that hasn't seen the light of day. (Hehr-hehr hehr-hehr hehr-hehr......)

I did quite a bit of looking over a few hours to see where the prices were falling - I think it's earlier in this thread. I ended up feeling you can pay anything even with wildly different condition. The cockpit to me is my holy grail cab, I removed it from my signature wants as I specified UK and gave up getting a good one some time ago. I guess it depends on what you're comfortable with and how much you wnt it. FYI I just googled "star wars cockpit arcade price" and variants on that.

Can anyone with a better idea of space help with this please? Room on right is currently living room, room on left, currently nothing (future cinema room). Think will move tv etc into nothing room, but still have a few machines to find a home for. Sketchup images attached if anyone is good at this kind of thing. I do have a garage, but ideally don't want to use it. Room on left is available for games but then need home for everything in there. The two rooms that are shown are all that are available.

Where no walls are shown where there obviously would be, there are walls, where the blue stuff is, is glass. Room on left is two walls and two glass. Should be obvious which two are which

Any constructive ideas muchos gracias

I have the skp file available but it's huge, how do I get it to a manageable file size (currently 20mb+)

Thanks in advance if anyone has any bright ideas.

I see now, you are DEFINITELY running out of room. Put the Gauntlet under the stairs, and all the cocktail tables in the bar, so you can have a cocktail bar (get it

). Seriously, you have a TON of cocktails (2 Joust cocktails? WTF?)... You don't need those windows, they're taking up valuable space.

Seriously, you might need to sell some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

have you tried using 7zip? it's got several different compression engines and does a very good job at picking the best one for any given segment of data (works wonders with roms, particularly if you've got multiple versions of the same one).

If I had that collection, I wouldn't be jacking about compressing any roms.

It'd be easier for you to just get rid of them all and put a MAME machine in the center of the room since it would play them all without the space restrictions.

Who needs windows in an arcade?

Wouldn't you want the Star Wars cockpit turned around so someone can watch the game from the outside. Cockpit might fit best under the stairs.

Do you need multiples of games in the same room?

Games with favorite art , I'd put against glass so can see from other side.

Maybe try walkway between aisles in center of room rather than one end. Work from ends of room toward center?

Taito and one next to it go back to back with the row behind the Taito. Gaunlet in the corner where Space Invaders is., slightly angled to give more room to players. SI goes where Cockpit is.

Problem is where to put all the cocktails.
