Crystal Castles for sale
« on: April 15, 2013, 04:52:20 PM »
Friends, due to the usual and often fatal combination of lack of Stims (=Space, Time, Money and Skills), I decided to downsize the collection a tiny bit and to sell some stuff.
I'm offering the cabs here first because I'd love them to go to a nice arcade loving home.

Here we go:
I'm first selling a Crystal Castles that desperately needs some TLC...



MORE PICS AVAILABLE HERE : http://min.us/mcrystalcastles

I think at some point this cab must have been stored in a humid place because the wood is flaky on some parts.

I bought it from Paul 50's and his description was "working but dark screen".
I have to admit I never plugged it.
The trackball is not rolling.
No backdoor.
There was no kickplate sticker and as they are none available anywhere, I asked Mikonos to print a repro sticker for me (check the link with the pictures to view it).
So it's not silkscreened, it's just inkjet and to be honest the packing job was not optimal so there are some creases in the sticker (you can see it on the pictures).
I will of course include it with the cab.
Not pictured here is the original manual, that I will include too.

Anyway, something to keep you busy during the summer for sure  ::)

I bought it for silly money BITD because I was young and excited and I had lost hopes of finding one in Europe.
This cab is now located in Belgium in a secret base close to the town "Nivelles".

Make me an offer and honk 3 times if you're into teddy bears and M.C. Escher!

Stefan, I don't want to read in the future that you had to close your shop and sell your home due to the excessive spending of money for videogames ;)


But...congrat for your newest purchase! :)

sure thing. but not for arcade stuff. at least not so far. all those cabs are for my basement... and my pleasure. i might bring my naomi upstairs tomorrow. was my first cab ever but at that time i did not know where my journey would lead me to. i really am not into the japan-cabs at all. i will put a price on it and see what happens in my shop. :)
