Don't know if you've seen this but I saw [this] on UKVAC. It sounds like there are a load of cabinets being scrapped in Bahrain.

OMG I Know the Place visited once, gonna go now hell yeah.

But i didnt see any japanese Candy Cabs last time, only Chinese clones like the big century cab, others are big machines dont fit my place.

[Ali710]

Gonna see what’s worth saving now, hope I’m not late .

[Ali710]

Wrong information, the place isn’t getting demolished, it’s getting renovated, some of the machines can be sold like Crazy Taxi For 1350 dollars.

No Japanese Candy Cabs.


Failed treasure hunting .

If you want some AO stickers to liven up the arcades there let me know.

[Dache]

Nothing being scrapped then? As long as they're safe from the bin, that's the most important thing.

[Ali710]

Yes nothing being scrapped as the owner told me but he’s willing to sell.

That clone candy might be a worthwhile project cab providing the owner didnt want too much for it. I bet it's switched off because the monitor is bad. I've asked around some arcade suppliers here in Dubai and they wont touch the older stuff (I need a monitor service on my astro). I was hopeful as there are some major suppliers here in one of the trade districts with large tech/service department but they just dont want to know. They were happy to start the ball rolling and charge me a call out fee (around 80 GBP) to "see the machine" and inform me of what was wrong, but as soon as I let them know that I knew what was wrong and navigated their fee the game was up. . .

I'd send it to Grant.

You mean want a spare monitor? or ur monitor got burns?

[Neo'nate]

Yes have already spoken to Grant,

my monitor has some convergence issues in the corners, nothing severe, but enough to warrant the service. Plus I can see some bodge job's have been done on repairs previously made on the chassis, so it needs looking at. . .

[Ali710]

Anybody wanna sell arcade cabinets in GCC (middle east)?
