yeah, you're right they should go to someone who has the means to fix them all, although i probably wouldn't shed a tear if the super citys were dumped...

plus you'd have to win them first, some of the arcade guys on there have pretty deep pockets...

they are in it for profits rather than restoring them I bet. I think the cabs will be vinyled up with random gaming arts, replaced controls with new cheap components and I can see 60/160/260s in 1 to bump up the price, plus freaky monitor swaps.

Anyone who love to own a candy cab should organise a group buy on this auction...restore the cabs to their former glory and have a piece of yifan at home.

One machine shouldnt bother the wife too much as well...

Bro check out the questions. They're astros and blast citys. And there's more!! Working!

rugdoctor · May 06, 2011, 09:19:41 PM

yeah, lots of better choices on the way!! Definitely interesting developments...but I am going to be firm and make do with what I got.

Pajoey actually has a working naomi sit down for sale about the same price as the blast city, so he might flick it off slightly cheaper is it means money towards a blast city.

I've drawn up plans to build a vewlix but don't have the tools at home to make something like that myself and don't have the cash to get someone to cut it all up and put it together.

however, this is fucking beast: http://arcadeworx.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=46&osCsid=3a2139b3ab4da79221cc8e4116b48945

yeah, i've seen those, they look really good but shipping would surely kill it, my ST cps2 boards, 3.6 kgs,
imagine 2 shoeboxs next to eachother was 57$ aussie. hate to think what that would be. i'l be starting my build soon off the donovan myers plans http://www.donovanmyers.com/2010/06/pdf-of-vewlix-tournament-edition-plans/ but with a couple differences, luckily my dad is local and has all the tools and is a really good wood worker with all the shit and a painter by trade so it will have a nice finish (hopefully)

i'm still keen as for a blast city though, multi sync yeah boyee
