Hey Jono.

Thanks mate. Yeah I will be sad to see this go. Its come up real nice.

There are some differences in the 2 cabs but most of all the Kiwi one sits on a wooden plinth so it can't really have the kink in the back which I added to this one. I think I will refurb the Kiwi one and sell it because my keeper must have that same shape now that I have seen it.

Almost everything comes from overseas mate. I do design a lot of the art myself though.
Haven't had anything on TM for a while. Its pretty dead on there for selling top end stuff. Everyone is looking for a bargain which is fair enough but all my stuff is new, so I have to charge more.

What are you working on? Any projects?

jono:
hiya buddy

I've only started this hobby maybe 18 months ago and its pretty addictive and only because we've moved into a house with a man cave downstairs the first cab i got was a T2 (NZ version).i loved this game as a kid.

then i got the quartet which i mamed just the panel though i love the art work this cab had been mamed before so the board was gone and the loom cut up original panel drilled the usual thing that bad mamers do so this was the first mame project i made a few mistakes with the panel layout though. but i source a board, loom,panel and marquee off eBay for cheap with some outrageous shipping cost so i think this will return to original.

the others are on the to do list the candy cab i hope will be a vertical shooter  (mamed)daytona i got for a buck NZ and is mamed just need to setup the frontend fill the coin door with coin mechs. outrun 2006 is pretty cool.

and now have 2 spots left for pins maybe 1 old 1 new (well later model dot matrix?) I'm not allowed machines in any other part of the house so once the rooms full i will have to rotate them around eg buy one sell which is fine i have talked to a few guys in this hobby in Auckland and i get the impression that women hate them the amount of money spent and taking up space in the lounge which i found pretty funny ::)

as for your trade me stuff i can understand that especially with the economic climate at the mo still you do the best work that I've seen. here's a few snaps cheers.

That looks sweet Spacies. On your control panel, the rubber round the edge (fat t-moulding) looks in really good condition. Did you replace it? If so, where did you get it? The stuff on my GL is shot.
