Dude... Not COOL..  Why are you posting my ebay link and laughing at my cabinet?  Heh, like yours look any better than mine.

Thanks for posting this though, perhaps it will help me sell it faster to someone from here.  At least I know if someone purchases it from here then I know that they are going to give it a good home.

Man that would be fine if there was some time spent finishing it. The panel looks solid, and it comes with a pile of components. I think it will sell fine. You may want to list it in the computers / vintage section. It'd probably sell a bit faster there.

I find that these comments are non productive.  Yes sure people like to sell unfinished cabinets, but this website is not for elitists.  Its for those who like to try and make something.  Maybe others have made cabinets like these illustrated on ebay.

I have yet to see something you have created appear on this message board Turnarcades.

Maybe we can then judge your workmanship, for a change.   Do you have any pictures of current products?

It looks like we are always game for a laugh.....

OK, so I am now sitting by the window, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the four horsemen because I find myself in agreement with Ummon (or so he calls himself today), but that's neither here nor there.

Turnarcades was called out, perhaps rightfully so, he's a vendor, but he didn't shrink from the challange.

If it had been CheffoJeffo who started this thread, somebody would have quickly labelled him as a "Crybaby turd tosser egotistical self righteous miserable coward stink hole".

Is it me, or are the bloody poms getting preferential treatment ?

Funny though, as that's an Aussie term for the British.

Feel free to start a thread like this jeffo, don't think I've ever thought that of you anyway. Your avatar has always annoyed me though - hated the muppets!  :laugh:

FWIW, I love the Poms and the Aussies, but I especially love the Dutch and the Welsh!

Where's the build site for that Track & Field? Did anyone notice that one of the photos has text?

Track Build

Seriously, I want to know the logic (or lack of) of putting acryclic picture frames on there. Some of those frames are so thick, I'm thinking those are "collectors" photos.

Q:     That is the ugliest game I have ever seen. Why not just convert it back to track and field and then you could sell it? Or just get rid of the stopwatches and lights and shoes and pictures of people running on the sides and all that other junk and sell it like that. I bet you could maybe get a couple hundred if you took all the crap off the machine. I wouldnt put that in my most hated ex-girlfriends house. Ugh    Mar-06-09

Erm, I count 18 finished projects on there alone, we have just finished our 60th full build and have also produced nearly 20 kits in the last 3 years. Maybe I should also mention our numerous cab modifications, control panels, programming, parts supplying and self-build advice services too.

What is a "dead pan"?

Basically it means to say something sarcastic or false with a tone that indicates you are completely serious.
