Title: After Burner II upright cabinet
Post by: Belike on May 06, 2010, 11:35:55 AM
I will pick up some pcbs tomorrow in Hungary, about 200 km-s from Budapest and the guy told me, he  has an After Burner II upright cabinet(fully working) in nice condition for sale.
Anybody interested?
What could be the acceptable price for this cabinet?
He also has another sit down cabinet with a broken monitor, but I forgot the name he told me ;D
I will take pics if anybody interested. ;)

erik got his afterburner ii for 250 euros if i remember correctly. for a working AB in nice condition this really is a good price. right now i'm after an after burner i which is offered in germany. seller wants €180, i'm trying to talk him down a little bit :) to be honest, i'd rather have the sitdown AB cabinet, but those are difficult to find (and to transport), so i guess i'll have to settle with the upright for now. but wait a minute, what's that sitdown cabinet your buddy has on offer? if it's after burner, i'm game, if it's sinistar, i'm game too - so bring on those news  8)

The price for a working AB II *upright* is usually between 200€ / 300€ ... less if you have some luck  ;)
The common problem on this cabinet is ... the side arts... almost partially damaged on all AB2 upright I've seen... luckily not too bad on mine :arrow:

...but it's worst most of the time...and sadly NO side arts repro available yet   :-\ Check also is the *shaking motor* is still working.

I hope you will laugh on this, I used the biggest Ford Transit to buy a Moguchan pcb, after a transport for the Quasar with a Renault Clio. ;D

You can guess by now, that I didn't fall in love with Ater Burner, so I left it there. >:(

The sidearts are in good condition of it's age.
Coin door was drilled and a there are also those starnge badges :D
Price 140EUR

The mini cocktail:
New hitachi monitor, jamma harness, works.
Price 35 EUR

Line Of Fire:

Monitor broken(he can fix it), otherwise it's complete and working, sidearts are in almost new condition.

i envy you as well for having been to pripyat. this is one of those place i really really want to visit one day.

back to the topic: thx for the roadtrip pics, looks like a nice place to live  ;). "line of fire" - never heard of (and i'm sure i haven't missed anything). why didn't you take the afterburner if i may ask?

btw, what's the difference between AB and ABII?

I think nothing, there is no "2" sign in AB2 cabinet, but it's AB2, don't know why ???Maybe Bruno knows ;D

About Pripyat, one of the most amazing places on earth, I will revisit it maybe this year for an exclusive photo tour. ;D
About the AB2, I played with it, but that's not my style of gaming.Otherwise IMHO it's not a bad deal for that cab, if anybody want to have it, I can go back for that to this creepy place. ;D
