Wanted cab for dragon's lair and space ace
« on: April 20, 2009, 05:42:44 PM »
Wanted cab for dragon's lair and space ace, also not working to be sent to Italy.
I am grateful to whoever can give me information on how to find one, or want to sell.
This request remains valid.
Thanks to all

Hi Auriga and welcome here  :).

You should contact Alpha1 via private message  ;).

I think he still has a Dragon's Lair and/or Space Ace cab for sale... but in UK  ;)

Hi to remi and auriga,


I contacted James about 4 months ago

James do NOT ship the DL, you must go to his house in UK (Bruno's arcade lifestyle method) and pick it up personally

This because he doesn' t want to be involved in the responsability for the shipping

(And he is right)

for that I Know I can assure you ship arcade games is very critic (most of the times games take hits and get broke in some parts - especially in the bottom)


As long as I remember the corner below must be restored, (he loyally said it and was supplying the material but requires restauration in the corners..)
 

So auriga, be prepared: "the adventure awaits!"

Hi all.
I wanted to thank everyone for the responses, I appreciate any advice or help to find the cab.
For me is impossible go to uk to pick a cab but if you could send would be interested.
Remi if you can send me photos of the cab of your friend and tell me whether he is able to organize an expedition in Italy, and if you can know what is expensive.
I wanted to thank in particular superulli the first I've bothered, and was immediately made available to help ;D

You could have a cabinet built ? There are plans here: http://www.jakobud.com/cabinetPlans.php This is how I built my Space Ace  ;D

Just a thought.

To crate and pallet a normal game from Uk (1,80 cm high, 90 cm depth and 66 cm large) is about 150-170 GBP

To ship a pallet from Uk to Italy is about 150-180 euro+ vat (Iva) without Insurance

With insurance 200-250 euros + vat

Delivery is at ground level (piano terra) NO LIFT (non te lo portano in casa al 2ndo piano per intenderci)

LIFT for 1 cab (up to 4th floor - fino al quarto piano) is about 200 euro + Iva

Mav

Ps= Dexter's solution is the most less expensive solution for any DL fan, no doubt.

we had thought, I also bought the controll pannel and the original marquee.
Unfortunately I have the big problem that I lack the space to physically build it.
And not having much experience in carpentry, I do not know how it can be. ??? ;D

Than take the plans to a cabinet builder (I have more plans if needed) I am sure they'd do a awesome job for a fraction of the price of importing one

I agree with dexter,

importing is very expensive and quite tricky especially if not expert in Arcade shippings (crate, pallet, vat, customs.. massimo (500 miles) was extremely tired of that today)

A good plan with a near wood maker will make the same for a very reasonable price.
