Members' Cabs...

[Parris]

That Ridge Racer setup is fantastic, would love to play on that.

Thanks, it was a bit of a steal tbh. Mentioned it before on KC, however I purchased it for next to nothing as it was dumped in a field with a duplicate unit both covered by tarpaulin. Wind, rain, damp and the like did their toll and nothing actually functioned. The second unit gave me a nasty electric shock when it was first powered up. Later discovered that the rubber shoe around the main power input had been removed and the bare wires were resting on the metal casing. Also got a minor shock off the chassis despite being really careful. Other than that it took me 2 months (with some major assistance from Namco, Grantspain, Berty, OE and my local TV repair shop) to refurbish it.






It's now pristine inside and out:

Looks perfect... We can see the huge amount of time invested in having this cab *refurbished* like that (don't know if that's the correct word... sorry if is not).

[j69]

it is the right word, and yes, that looks awesome. You appreciate your cab so much more when you have invested time and money into doing it up.

[Lordstar]

yeah the R-racer cab looks fantastic.

Here's my Astro City in tate mode.

I am warming to these Astro cabs... very nice! What's running on it, I am a fan of schmups and don't recognise it?

[legztec]

The last one needs some serious love as its been neglected and the screen doesn't work anymore.

[deadpixels]

Wow, is that blue Neo 29 original or a custom job? That color scheme looks fantastic.

[Parris]

Says 'Dimahoo' on the screen! (Raizing)

Thanks, it looks cool. Will have to look it up!

The Egret2 outshines that by a mile. I think i'm going to class the Vewlix as a "Pod" now rather than an Arcade Machine..

[Jan]

i`m sure even the newest member got your point by now

[porkpye]

when did you get sf4

[Jan]

this morning , thanks to _xizor.

but i`m still stuck at work -.-

[Retro_Boy_G]

Awww come on dude.. its a hideous machine.. we have an Xbox 360 pod in our shop just now that looks more like an arcade machine. You could have a nice line of astros or something.. would have been much better. I don't like to be so negative but i just can't see anything in this machine. The screen looks bad also. I do like the CP though haha.. does that make you feel better?

[Retro_Boy_G]

Are there not meant to be some sort of covers over the speaker grills also? looks a bit silly.

[Jan]

oh , i don`t mind , just saying that you post the same lines over and over again.

[Retro_Boy_G]

Just like there are about 100 threads on these pods.

[poolchamp]

now now boys everyone to there own tastes good and bad points on both i would like a row of each tbh and a few sega rally 3 s and on and on in 12 years time people will class these like wooddys and the next generation will be wanting viwlix like e2 and e3s now so tut tut and play fair bit like kc here now for some reason hail t--e sorry super pang

[markedkiller78]

It’s good to see the size comparison between the 2 cabs.

Just to even out Gianni’s negativity, that vewlix looks AWSOME!!!

Congrats on SF4 Neo
