What cab is this? Cocktail!
slapaham:
Okay... I took a risk at this... I didn't even ask any questions or anything - and the item description is shockingly inadequate but on a plus note, I guess at least the seller has 100% good feedback... anyway, haven't got a clue as to what it is... probably seems quite daft - and it is! - but I've been trying to source a cocktail all week and lots of my plans have fallen through - this was a last minute decision!

Anyone got an idea?
Also, what wiring harness this might have? Jamma? I doubt it...
I'm hoping I can restore this and probably rewire it to jamma... then either just have a J-Pac and modded Xbox set-up or stick in a board when I feel like it. I'm hoping I can do a nice enough job to have this in our studio/office when our business sets up shop... it will be a nice focal point for visitors.
Just hope it isn't a heap - it could well be as I know naff all about the condition of it or anything - oh well - I didn't pay much so fingers crossed it will exceed expectations (which I have to say are fairly low at the moment!)

Bidding ended, so can't really see it.
But from what I did see, it looks like a homemade cocktail cabinet. Looked like cheap wood panel sides with a custom CPO.
slapaham:
Mmm... interesting theory... you could be right... I guess what I'm hoping for as a minimum is that the monitor works and that the case is okay... hopefully it has legs... ::)
If the worst comes to the worst I'll just jamma-fy it and j-pac it. Customise it.

You really can't help yourself can you Jon? :D
That has got to be one of the most vague auction listings ever. Some people really have no idea how to list an item.
These are the pics from the auction:
There is no way that was home made. If it was it was expertly done decades ago.
You can see from all the mounting hardware, CP etc that it is a commercial cabinet.
My guess is that its a Space Invaders clone.
I have no idea if it will be Jamma or not, you will have to have a look at the harness etc when you pick it up.
slapaham:
It's a problem Franco... an addiction... ;D :cry:
I know you've got it too though! ;) :laugh2:
Anyway, as I said before, this will most likely have some importance as I really want it to go in our design studio eventually... it'll look the piece and really add something.
I have to agree with you - it looks too good to be homemade... and from my (limited) knowledge of this kind of thing - a Space Invaders clone sounds about right... Attack UFO (I think it 's called) sounds like the culprit - however, I have no idea what loom that used! Wiring it for jamma shouldn't be too tricky though hopefully.
The guy has just contacted me and IT DOES come with legs (phew!) - possibility I'm collecting this tomorrow - if I do, I'll post up some details/pics.
I can't believe I've taken the risk though - it could be a real heap and I would advise people to do their research in this situation. Fingers crossed this might be a decent buy - or at least, I hope it is! The price certainly was right anyhow (well, as long as it isn't a total crapheap!)
God only knows why people list like this - it's just asking for trouble/low ending prices!
