Tom Speirs Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Im considering ditching my cab later in the year. Basically just throwing it out and someone taking it away when I get a new one. This forum made me think someone in the UK might want it, maybe even buy me a drink for it.Its Jamma based and uses an X-Arcade and older JPAC and ArcadeVGA.It has a Shuttle PC in it (AMD Athlon if I recall) which seems to work fine although the BIOS battery needs replacing.I don't want any hassle with delivery, so it would be pick up as is without any hassles on my end.I fired it up about summer time and other than the BIOS issue seemed to work good. It has a low res arcade monitor that works and is usable but isn't perfect. It has defender side art. There is a pic of it in the cabinets thread.The only other issue other than the BIOS and used monitor is that the key is stuck in the coin door (I have the key to the back separate). Since it was only ever used for MAME I didn't bother fixing it. There is however a yellow Jamma credit button.Just wondered if there would be any interest?

KRC Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Cool, I would take it off your hands but I have nowhere to put it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you do pitch it I want the X-Arcade stick (which of course I'd happily pay for), but don't parcel it out unless you have to (certainly not on my account). Lmk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Dammit man - why do the freebies have to occur a gazillion miles out of reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Heh I was thinking the same thing. I could repurpose everything from it; build my own cab, upgrade the computer, etc etc. But curbside pickup from the states is a bit hard to come by. Hope it goes to a good home rather than some junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Wait, this is a freebie?! With tankstick?? understandable if doesn't include the stick. You probably don't want to broadcast where you live Tom so i'll tell you where i do ^^ I'm right smack center of southern coast, all the way down - could i get to yours and back in a reasonable time? (by reasonable i mean less than 8 hrs) Also there is the matter of space - but dammit i'll make some somehow.I'm definitely interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Not entirely free. You are encouraged to buy Tom a drink. If I lived that close, I would make the drive just to meet the man behind the curtain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I have not decided what to do about the TankStick yet but certainly everything else I am happy just for someone to cleanly take away. Like I said though I don't want to be involved in the shipping etc. I am in Essex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see your beer, and raise Then tip towards our gobs n drink =P Seriously though Tom, Essex is way closer than i anticipated - we're practically neighbours!And Tempest - you're like a titan round here, you really wanna meet the god that much? Shame on you, us mere mortals would just be glad to get a free cab! I'm just yanking y'all chains I'm sorry heheheTom, in all seriousness...ness i am very interested. Can we have further correspondence somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 No problem. Ill let you know. If I do go ahead it will be in a couple of months. Need to make sure I am able to replace it with something new first. Cant not be having some kind of cab here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Understood well it's a cab and if the choice is dump it, or give it a home i'll give it a home. I actually love the defender decals too - are they real? In regards to the stick you now i'd give you something for it! The only reason i've stuck to the HTPC side of things is because every cab i've come across is either way out of my price range or just so shoddy no sane man would give £5 for it. Yours however, from the pics looks ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 No worries. I think Id consider it good home if it went to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, when the curtain is pulled back it's just a man with a bunch of buttons and switches. I WOULD like to meet him though. We will be expecting a full report.

simbamame Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 If the offer is still open and nobody else wants it i most defonately will take it and to meet the god behind gameex is more than a good reason to drive to essexIan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Its up for grabs now. I need the space. First come first served in the order who expressed interest here if both on the same day. I need at least a days notice that you are coming and absolutely no hassles with moving. You should have the required equipment to move it and a big enough van or truck to take it. I am on the second floor. The cab will fit in the lift and fit through a normal size door. Again you should make sure you are well equipped. ie have a buddy help you move it and have a wheeler/lifter to move it through my building and flat.Also remember, as is. I am not going to grab extras etc.Let me know.PS: You can have the X-Arcade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Again, why are all the good offers across the pond? NOT FAIR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I would take it but I have nowhere to put it in my house, and I don't think the Missus would be too happy. Yeah, she wears the trousers in our relationship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
