I'm selling this cab I bought a loooong looooong time ago.
I bought it tested it and put it in my friend KID's storage (thanks again for that by the way).
It's an Asteroids cab (with still OK sidearts) that has been converted into a Crime City probably during a full moon night.
It's in working order, the game is fully playable (inserting a 20BF coin will even provide you a credit, can you believe that?)...
...BUT:
-no sound (maybe it's just a disconnected wire, maybe it's a faulty PCB, don't know and don't have easy access to the cab atm).
-that red wire you see on the picture of the monitor has to be 'reisolated', I will provide the plastic thing to repair it (it's basically a 15minutes job).
-no backdoor
Please somebody, bring it back to it's shiny Asteroids day... or maybe MAME it, but with style then.
Make me a nice offer and it's yours (please keep in mind that I was young when I bought it and I paid waaaay too much for it ;)).
I'm located in Nivelles, Belgium.
Questions are welcome but remember I'm an electro dummy... so I might just pretend to know the answer to your question and just cut and paste random sentences from wikipedia only to look clever.
OK time to raise the curtain, this guy has gone through a lot but I'm sure somebody can provide him some TLC.
And Crime City is always nice to play if you've had a bad day at work or in the public transports... you can even kick the guys that fell on the ground, how cool is that?
Nice:

Thanks for looking!

i didn't know that game, looks like a rolling thunder mixed with shinobi
good luck with the sell

Monitor looks like a hanta

Poor Asteroids.....poor poor Asteroids..... :'(
I hope somebody will save it !
-
@ kroustibat: thanks, compadre!
@ level42: an asteroids? where?
I bought this cab from a Belgian pub that also had a "Gauntlet cab converted in a Samuraï Shodown" for sale.
Back in the days that pub must have been really cool with its real Asteroids and its real Gauntlet, ...until that butcher entered with his tools...
Anyway I bought it because I really wanted to save the asteroids sidearts, they are original and I think it's a genuine piece of art.
It's not a cab you see often for sale in Belgium and it had suffered enough already.
-
I have a vector monitor for it if someone wants to convert it back
-
indeed poor asteroids!
Maby a job for scr33n??

Wew....it is that I really like my Asterock....and that it is 100% complete and in almost mint condition....
Else I would already have bought it from you.
I already have a working Asteroids PCB, however that will end up in the Asterock very very likely.
I already heard some of Asterocks sounds and I really don't like 'm....

Yes the seller was very hard to get in touch with.
Another member from this forum bought the gauntlet for restoration (we went together to get the cabs).
... and thanks all for your comments, hope it will find a nice home!

for the future owner ;)

chrischris : you got my bank account for upping ur ad ;)

Reserved.
All the required arcade collector addicts requirements are there:
- do I really need it ? No (already have a lovely Asterock which I prefer because of several well known reasons)
- do I have the space for it ? MMMmmmm, I do once I sell my Mame cab !!
- do I have the money...welll.....for the cab yes ....
- do I have the time for yet another challenging project ? Of course not....
SO, reason enought to take this from Chris's overcrowded game room and storage ;)
I have a wicked plan for this cabinet, but it will definitly be a long running project !!

good luck with your project, hope you can source all the parts and we will hear the words "the eagle has landed" eventually ... ;)

Chris's overcrowded game room and storage ;)
I really don't understand what you're talking about...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/~chrischris/arcade/THE_BASE/crowd.jpg)
(You can see the cab perfectly well next to the super breakout)
The cab is yours of course, I couldn't think of a better way for this guy to start a new life ;)
-
- do I have the time for yet another challenging project ? Of course not....
I have the same problem, but i am still offering my help if needed ;D
Are you going to do a pickup, or is chris going to deliver this ?
either way, can i come, or can i give you the "OBTC" ?
There is still a zacc bezel waiting for me at chris :D

that picture is priceless!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
and i love the way you've set up the lighting to highlight individual games ;D :P
-
;D
Arcade climbing is sooo underrated these days...
-
Haha, yeah too obvoius ;)
Indeed the plan is to turn this poor thing into a Lunar Lander !
I cant think of a more gracious way to make good for that poor machine being converted into something like that....
It will be a costly project for sure ! But not impossible....
The first important part should be on its way very soon. I hope. ;)
Yesyes another CRAZY project, but then again, who has a LUNE LANDER on mainland Europe ?? ;D
If anyone wants to donate something, like say, the game PCB, feel welcome and you will earn life-long free play on it plus all my other games ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Plan is to pick it up. Etienne you would be more than welcome to come along, BUT if I want to fit the cab in my car you probably cant sit anywhere in it anymore. I remembe transporting the Centi and believe me that was one tight fit. This cab is about the same size I guess, maybe even bigger ?
-
Dont know the size, but we can take the trailer and drive with my car if you want...
Is that the cab where you want to put in that attract lights on "expirimenteerprint" ? ;) ;D ;)
-

why not make a list of the parts you need and the parts you already have?
-
I have the original flyer, I will donate it but ONLY when the cab is fully finished ;)

Great, put that in your agenda for the year 2020 !
@Ully: OK.....lets see:
Cabinet: got it, ChrisChris
Monitor: got it, needs to be checked /rebuild
Game PCB: anyone got a working one in his attick ? ;);)
I DO have a working asteroids PCB but the multi-kit for that board has been on promise for about ten years now so I dont expect that to ever really surfice.
Control Panel: maybe there is still one available in the UK. Else, there are firm plans to make them on KLOV forum
Thruster: ordered
Lighting PCB: I think I will hack my own !
Power brick : needed
Have to check what other power PCBs LL uses, AR1 ? AR2 ?
Wiring harness. I guess I will have to make that myself, or couldtry to find Asteroids harness and adept that
Side art: available or soon available from Phoenix
CPO and lights plexi Available from Phoenix
Marquee: Needed, not sure if anyone makes these ?
Buttons: I still got some not sure if I got enough...
Some black Atari vinyl
Optionally: owl-eye coin door but I can live with the current one.
@Etienne: Thanks for the offer !! Lets see how big that thing is first, Whenever possible I prefer my cabs to be inside my car because its waterproof and the cab gets a lot less bumps. Besides that its a lot faster to drive without trailer, but if it turns out it wont fit in my car Id love to accept your offer !
-
Marquee: Needed, not sure if anyone makes these ?
I do if you ask me nice ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Looks like that's not neccesary.....although it looks like it will take a bit longer...

Looks like rich created them, so you can ask him the vector, maybe he will give it to you
then you can print it here locally if nessecary
It will trun out fine eitherway i guess
-
I dont think so, this is a deal he made with Phoenixarcade and I dont think he will hurt that...
Besides, if its silkscreened from the original films as I expect nothing will beat its quality...
-
Yesterday my LL marquees arrived from Rich and they're all bad
so that guy is also named "Rich" then ?
I assumed it was Rich from this old game judging on the name Rich..
My bad..
