Logan's first DigDug (Project)

[logan]

Hi Guys,

look what I just got!








Isn't she a beauty? Okay, needs some work and the PCB seems to be broke, I've got time and this will just fit perfect in Logan's Gameroom v2! 

[Superully]

not bad, but i'd prefer the american version with the DD marquee and the wonderful sideart. i just can't stand that woodgrain stuff (except on very old games).

nevertheless, dig dug is a great game! good luck with your restoration, looking forward to seeing it up and running in V2

congrats!!!! - i would looove someday to add a Dig Dug to my collection, but as ully, i prefer the US version:


it would fit nicely next to my pede!

Nice, congratulations, but ........ isn't there a road trip story?

[Etienne MacGyver]

Congrats logan!

Same question here as ckong, will there be a roadtrip report ?  or was it delivered to your location ?

Anyway , goodluck with your cab !

[logan]

Sorry, but i don't have roadtrip pix... Only had to drive about 200km in total and forgot my Cam :-(
but there will Be man restoration Pictures! :-)

Guys,

There are 2 US version uprights on www.eBay.de at the moment.

I prefer the Euro one - much nicer (and rarer ;p)

yes, but the seller is always asking way too much!

It depends. What's a US Digdug worth? 350E? Maybe upto 450E? They have also obviously come from the USA also so then add shipping costs.

Now factor in that shipping has already been done and any taxes have been paid, AND there is also no apparent shipping damage and I think he can ask his 900 or so price.

I quote

For my experience, even with 40 ft containers (the cheapest way - cost x cab),

prices for a single cab are high from USA

started to strip the cab.

CPO is out:

Think i need a new one, there a part missing on the top

A bit rusty (I'll take care of that later):


Well, this is in good condition, but shouldn't it be made of real glas? This one is made of plexiglas??




duuuuuust! But hey, only 25.290 plays...

looking good! - actually, the more i study the euro cab, the more i like it! 
or maby it because i got the FF... 

My Bezel for my centipede is also plexiglas

Now that you've mentioned it, the DigDug has the same shape as your Fast Freddie. It didn't notice that earlier

Atari released a few games in this cabinet style.

DigDug, Kangaroo, Fast Freddie, Gravitar and Black Widow. From my research Arabian was never released.

I have the entire collection of the above.

Atari Ireland also made another style of 'Euro' cabinet. This was for Time Pilot, Millipede and Popeye. I have a Time Pilot, and had 2 Millipedes, however I have a nice US style Millipede so decided to sell the Euro projects not in good condition).
I have never found a Popeye - I have heard from people that remember playing this cabinet style however, and there is a flyer for it.



There's also myth of Asteroids too for the Euro DigDug style cabinet. I actually have a marquee glass for one... I can post some pictures of all if anyone is interested.
