Wonderfull to see this machine back in action. Hope you can enjoy it to the fullest running aae.

p.s. are you running the game on a tv or on a crt monitor? raster monitors tended to have a smaller dotpitch / higher-resolution then the standard arcade monitors.  Suffice to say I think it looks best at high-res on a good CRT monitor.

The whole lot was bought for 1800 by some german buyer. I asked the seller to see if the buyer was interested in parting ways with a few cabs individually. hope something can still be worked out.

Too bad, the cabs have been sold. I've asked to come in touch with the buyer to see if we can still get some of the cabs.

ok, lets coordinate and work this out. Im in the market for a centepide, and 1-2 nintendo cabs. Im going to do a complete rebuild on the latter so the condition is not really an issue.
We can make this purchase work as a community to get these games to places where they will be taken care off. I'll take care of the communication for the time being. I'll try to get a complete list of the cabinets and their condition (hopefully with photo's). Then we can coordinate combined payment and transport to the netherlands and belgium. Hopefully we can get this all sorted out. I can be reached here or at rj.visser@gmail.com. The auction lists +/- 20 cabinets. which makes an average of 50 per cab very attractive. from the current pictures I can make out at least 6 nintendo cabinets. an outrun upright, 2 centepide cabinets, a neogeo MVS-6-25, MVS-4-25 , the last cab in the last picture has the word trivia on the marquee. But I have no idea what that is. so yeah, a centepide and nintendo cab for me im willing to put in 200 euros for those two depending on the condition. More info as it becomes available. Hopefully this will make a great belated christmass present for many of us.

Hi people, let me introduce myself. Im gravitone. Long time lurker here, and a known face around emulation boards, irc, and videogame collecting sites. I noticed this great sale on marktplaats and I think its time to finally slip into action. There are plenty of gems in that stash, so im organizing the storage and looking at transport. I can get everything stored in 2 locations about 65km north of amsterdam. I contacted the seller to see whats possible. Obviously these prescious games should be saved from the shredder/dumpster/fire thats in store. I plan to restore a few myself and share the rest with all you wonderfull people. I've emailed the seller already, just waiting for a response now.

Let me know what you are interested in and I'll start sorting this stuff out.

Hope I can post an update here soon.

Best wishes for the new year,

Gravitone
