Mmmm..nice and rare !!!

...tempting but......to be totally honest, I find the Atari version a lot sexier than the Namco one in this case....I don't really like the shape of the Namco. Biggest problem is that it is a lot wider than the Atari version, which is pretty sleek. (It's the Red Baron cockpit, some may not know this).

I think I'm able to "just" squeeze that one in, the Namco would take too much footprint.

That one also needs a lot of work by the looks of it and that one in France looks like it's in a much better condition.

But thanks for the tip Marco !

hi mate

i managed to get in touch with the guy and he is selling it for 500€ .
I tried to bargain it as i found it a bit expensive . I said that we bought for many thousand euros from hi but no price drop . he said that it is in good shape and worth the 500€ .
if you are still interested he said that he can put it on palette and load it in a truck as he has a fork lifter .
If you want I have a good mate near that can assist the loading.

Keep me posted about your choice even for the negative i will not take it badly. All kid need to get his dream .

Have an Atari one...with an italian bezel...monitor has just been fixed by german monitor superhero Winnie and  the cabinet itself is working, checked by the Man himself...Mr.A :)
Stored away for months in my warehouse as it didn't fits through the door...and my game room is now in an old bank building with bulletproof windows which can't be opened...true story.

While I have two uprights in addition from the barn leftover....I might let it go. Anything for trade from my wanted list?

Berzerk
Up-Scope (at least one is in the netherlands...and one in spain).
Tapper

I rather sell the 2 uprights than letting the cockpit go. I got it from the netherlands....see Road Trip section...you may remember the horse trailer story :)
Took me ages to get it back on the track and running. Lot of people involved.

Got the guy on the phone and perhaps we can make a bargain in a few month .
He just bought a competitor and he will get some cab from him in the coming month
Buying one cab from him does not help to bargain but last time when we bought a many cab  it was very fair . Atm he only has a namco shoot away Cqb and a sega gp world missing laserdisc . Lets check in a few weeks if he has new stuff to sell and pehaps we can arrange something fair for everyone .

I managed to snag that one! Incredibly the second Namco PP I've owned. This one is more complete than the last one I had though and really is just cosmetics and a PCB fix :)
