Post by: Havok on January 27, 2010, 11:37:54 am: Almost guaranteed that it is a Pole Position, and it's dead - probably the boards, not to mention it will most likely have GAME OVER burned in on the screen...

With that said, still free is good as long as the cabinet is solid.

Post by: acidblue0 on January 27, 2010, 05:14:12 pm: I went look at it. Its a Indy Heat. I don't want it. Only thing wrong with it is one of the pedals don't work.

Post by: tommyinajar on January 28, 2010, 12:19:03 am: Wanted - There are 4 VAPS members currently looking for Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat.

It's up to a 3 player game, did they link 3 together or was the cockpit kind of cozy :)?

It looks kinda cool on KLOV

I think this three wheeled contraption you see here is all they made. http://www.klov.com/images/11/1181242101302.jpg (http://www.klov.com/images/11/1181242101302.jpg) I can understand why he doesn't want it, it wouldn't be practical for the more common driving games at all.

Post by: tommyinajar on January 28, 2010, 02:32:42 am: I thought he said it was a cockpit in the 1st post, but regardless it makes a nice mame cabinet if it's the same as the Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road. I've got one that was converted into house of the dead.

You can put a larger than 25" monitor in there. VERY solid, heavy duty cab. There is a lot of room and open space for a CP. I'm planning on having a few control panels to swap on mine, instead of a frankenpanel. Heck it's worth it if the monitor works.

Post by: Havok on January 28, 2010, 11:30:57 am: That could actually make a decent Mame cab for driving and shooting games. Just remove one wheel and put gun holsters (maybe the center one), and then make one wheel a 360 degree and the other a 270. Plus it does have a nice sized monitor.

Post by: acidblue0 on January 28, 2010, 09:00:14 pm: I thought it was a cockpit but the girl I talk to is getting rid of it for a friend and really didn't know what it was. and yes screen is fine. Only 1 pedel is broke
