Just wanted to boost about my new purchase this will be coming to my house this coming weekend ;D
well the price was well worth it at the end, only thing is one of the pcb is playing up but he supplied me with the 2 extra which you would normaly get when purchasing these anyway,
there do have a few marks here and there but i dont really care abit of paint will soon sort them out, just look at the screens, my very own arcade centre is getting there ;).......
here are the pics of them let me know what you all think??

Chuff me! Those boys are gonna take up a bit of room.
How big a space have you got for your Arcade?
I've got 6 foot by 8 foot so I'm pretty limited, my family gets first pick of the prime space. I'm actually waiting for a budgie to pass on, I built a large cage (6 foot by 4 foot) in our reception room for it. I can move my Arcade into the room when it has gone, but it seems to want to live forever ;D
You've picked up some decent gear lately, I'm jealous ;)

at the moment all my arcades are in 2 rooms, i have 3 up stairs in my bed rooms and then i got 5 downstair which used to be the dinning room till i got rid of the table and chairs,trust me my mum was in shock when she saw what i did to it, but my dad couldnt hep laughing as most of the games reminded him of his childhood....
anyway the space is really tight now even though the arcades are next to each other, the 2 big fruit machines dont really help much, plus i am getting a who wants to be a millionare machine this week also.....
for the mean while i will just spit the cars and monitors up and store then in the shed till i have sort out the room and have stressed my dad to build the extension in the back, which should be built by the summer and then i can have all my arcades on show... ;D

And this is the same guy who was asking me about shipping machines from Canada to the UK ???
Looks to me like you are having no problem finding machines.
Nice haul ... hope they fit in your house ...
At one point I wanted to pick up a couple of modern drivers like that, but, having moved one 800lb machine downstairs this year, decided against it. Hopefully next summer I'll build a classic-style cockpit for a Dreamcast racing cabinet (there is an example by someone here on the board that is just perfect ... forgive me for not remembering their handle at the moment).
And I NEVER would have tried this stuff in my parents' house, (although they like to come over, marvel at the machines and watch the kids play).
Nice addition to your rapidly growing collection.
Cheers.

Nice purchase!
How much did you pay for them?
Its amazing how quickly space becomes a minimum. I have two pinballs and a Mortal Kombat II in my computer room, one cocktail in the bedroom which gets used as a clothes horse, and one pinball and a cocktail in the garage. I hate having them seperated. I really need to convert half of the garage to an arcade room and put them all in there.
What type of PCB's can you plug into those cabs? Are they JAMMA ? I haven't had any experience with a racing cab.
Happy Racing!
