Thought I’d drop back in and (re)introduce myself since I’ve been AWOL for, er, well years! :awe:

Hope everyone is doing well. After selling the Egret due to personal circumstances way back when I never had the heart to come back as I was soooo gutted and seeing all the wonderful canbs and it was painful! In hindsight that was daft, but hey ho. :lol:

Hope everyone’s well, still see a fair few names I remember (and a few missing too).

Hoping to grab a cab or 2, give me a shout if you have anything sexy! (cabs that is) :shifty:

Chat soon,

Nana

Hey all,

Jimbo from South East UK here. Recently got a lovely Astro City and am loving it. I'm into vertical shooters mainly, love Toaplan!! Flying Shark ftw!

I'm looking for a nice condition Taito Egret 2. I have a fair few nice cabs to trade for one if anyone is interested. Will post to the Marketplace section when I'm allowed to I guess, but in the mean time this is the list of original dedicated cabs I have to trade from for a nice Egret 2... Robotron, Defender, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Gauntlet (4player), Electrocoin Midi. Also happy to just pay a big wad of cash.

If anyone fancies a trade please let me know :)

Hello all, new to this forum here. I've been a member of the shmups forums for many years but it seems to have died down as of late. I love CRTs and was lucky enough to get into them about 10 years ago before YouTube really blew up and the prices became out of this world. Currently still own a 2 20" BVMs and an NEC XP29 plus. I remember actually giving away an NEC XM29 that I couldn't get to power on back in the day to another member.

I have some pretty sought after arcade boards that I am looking to unload as I don't have time for the hobby now a days. I listed Battle Bakraid on the shmups forums without much success so I would love to post it here once I get acclimated.

Nice to meet you all

Dave

Hi, I'm Gibins. I really enjoy playing fighting games and rhythm games. I saw that this forum has a marketplace so I figured I'd join since recently I've been looking to acquire some candy cabs and rhythm game cabs. The owner of the gamecenter I used to frequent back in the US, as well as some friends who have some cabs, have told me that sometimes to get your hands on some rhythm game cabs, you need to know a guy who knows a guy. I moved to Germany about a year ago, so if anyone knows some of the more (or less) popular marketplaces, forums, or independent sellers for EU, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd appreciate any info I can get. Thank you.

Hi all!
Dan here, living in London, UK.
It has been a long time wishing to have an arcade and I think this is the time.
Decision taken, now I need to find the right one! :awe:
