Offering this here as well as ukvac because I know a lot of people here are into restoration and preservation.
For some years I've had an Akuma machine - it's a strange 3D gun game which uses a CRT and a projector at once to create a depth effect, horror themed. It's been 'mostly' working for some time and several times I've considered parting it out. In fact I went in there today looking at the logistics of parting it and .... I can't do it. I can't kill a rare game.
As such, this is free now to anyone who will collect it, on the basis that they must intend to finish the restoration and keep it (or sell it to a collector, I don't really care as long as it's not broken up). It hasn't been powered up in over a year, last time it was the UPS was not working correctly and the gun focus/reads weren't great, projector settings I had perfect but forgot to save them... Some cab cosmetics are required.

It's a bit dusty since then but has essentially not been touched since the article was posted. It's huge:
Dimensions:
Width: 91cm
Height: 198cm
Depth (main cab): 100cm including back extension, 75cm without.
Depth of pedestal: 46cm (you wouldn't have it bolted flush though - add about a foot in the middle, no idea what the correct distance should be.

I'm in the UK so you'll need to be willing to pay someone to collect this, or happy to rent a very large van yourself. It's on wheels, laying it down flat very likely not an option due to weight of CRT.
