  1. Hi guys, It's been a while since i've posted, but it's like coming home when I am on this site. I scooped up a taito cocktail cabinet that I am told contains an original Space Invaders board. I have NEVER turned it on as it may need a recap and I don't want to be the one to blow it up, however I reckon with a good clean this thing will sing. I bought it around 10 years ago to restore and make into a mame or a 60-in-1 but I never got around to doing it and also I didn't want to start carving up the control panel because it is pretty much un-touched since it came out of the De-Lorean Time Machine, so I will throw in a 60-in-1 Jamma board to the lucky buyer. It owes me $500 so if I could re-coup my costs, i'd be happy with that and you'd get to take this beauty home. But seriously, It's taking up space and if it goes to a loving home I will take a decent offer. It's currently buried deep in my shed so no pics but I plan on digging it out this weekend. Call any time on 0422 869 464 or TXT on Sundays (work phone) if you are interested. Cheers George.
  2. B&W TV Hi mate, I’ve got a 12” HMV Black & White TV with your name on it. What’s it worth to you? Id post a picture but I can’t find the button to if
  3. It's an Aissie unit of measurement that saves all that mucking about with decimal places.
  4. Not true. You do them up with 1/2" self tappers, and you don't have to be a gorilla about it. You don't even have to nip them up. You are just holding the thing in place, not bolting it down for the next apocalypse. Just do them up to the point where the screw head touches the hole in the motherboard, and then back it off 1/4 of a turn. There is absolutely ZERO stress on the board. Same goes for the iPac, just screw it to the wood and before the screw head pulls on the circuit board, STOP, and back it off 1 Cun-tair.
  5. Cost me - $1250 1/5th is damaged - Now Worth $1000 Fair price i'm offering - $800 I will entertain bids, as i've lost my Arcade Mojo years ago and just want to pass them on to someone who will enjoy finishing the project I never started. Phone 0448 701 847. Would anyone be interested in buying an assembled one instead of flat?
  6. Hi AA'ers. Once again, I have been cleaning up after moving house once again...... And I have decided that These Have To Go. I am sick of moving them every time I move house, and it's been going on 7+ years now I've been storing these cabinets and NEVER put one together. What I have is 5x Hankin cloneed cabinets cut out of MDF, each piece has been meticulously copied from a disassembled genuine Hankin Cabinet, the type that were made to take a 20-21" CRT. These cost me $1250 at the time, which averages out to $250 a cabinet. However, I have moved house 5 times since I got these, saved from a bushfire in 2013 (At great expense and effort mind you), and during the move I would be upfront in saying that some components of 1 of the cabinets has been damaged. So there is enough cut-out cabinet parts to make 4 good ones, and 3/4 of one with 1/4 damaged components. If you were handy with a router and a copy-cutter router bit, you could construct the replacement parts and construct all 5 cabinets. I have 2 metal control panels which you could use as templates to give to ANY sheet metal fabricator to copy / clone enough to finish off 4 cabinets. Since one of them is essentially stuffed in my opinion, $1000 would be A fair price for all 4, However if you come this weekend i'd take $800 for the lot and I will give you all the pieces of the 5th one to either take a crack at re-cloning the damaged parts of the 5th, or as spares for any fk'ups you make on the other 4 as you construct them. They do not come with any electronics, glass or hardware. These are just MDF clones of the cabinet pieces, plus the 2x abovementioned metal control panels I am located in Springwood in the Blue Mountains, and the parts could all fit into the back of a car, 4WD or wagon for transport as I have made NO attempt at putting any of them together. From Sydney, it's a 45minute shot straight up the M4 and you're here. My contact number is 0448 701 847. Or PM me your offer along with your name. The first one with the highest offer gets it.
  7. I have for sale a Taito Cocktail Cabinet, or what I believe to be a Taito cab. It looks like it was a Japanese Space Invaders from the early 80's. It appears to have a Jamma harness in it, but to be honest I have never plugged it in or turned it on. It has a 14" screen installed. The buttons are Metal, which i've never seen before! The cabinet is in "Original" Condition as I have made no attempt to restore it. It was bought, stored, and I never got time to do anything with it. I also have a selection of boards for sale if you are interested in a bulk purchase. Asking $600 for the cabinet, $1000 for the cab, boards and other misc bits and bobs. I won't bullshit you, this is a restoration project, as you can see there are scuffs and padlocks on it so it is not quite ready for the games room without you needing to do a little work. Pickup Only from Springwood NSW 2777 Call or SMS me on 0422 869 464. First in, First dibs. Price is neg, but I will take the highest offer.
  8. Give Bammer Specialty Company a call, they are at 639 Alpha Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. The should have all the parts you'd need to get this unit going again.
  9. I just found a game similar to "Choplifter" called "Fort Apocalypse" by Steve Hales & Joe Vierra, Synapse Software. Check it out and let us know.
  10. Yeah dude, I found that game for you. It is System 24, I have it. Send $1,000,000 and you can own it. Just pulling your leg mate, I have no Idea. I am honestly quite surprised i'm still even signed in here.
  11. How about you give me the measurements of each piece you want me to measure and i'll check it. I could spend hours guessing what parts to measure. Are you looking to buy these, or sell me parts?
  12. Howdy Aussie Arcade Anonymous group, My name is Geordie and i'm a retro-holic. I have just moved house again and i'm getting tired of lugging and storing these flat-pack Hanclone components so it's time they found a better home. For some nostalgia, the story begins here: http://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/47768-20-hankin-cocktail-cabinet-projects?highlight=hankin+tables and hit a wall regarding price and I had some health issues which left the thread hanging, and subsequently died. (The thread, not me!) An attempt was made to revive the thread but it never got off the ground: http://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/61507-Hankin-quot-style-quot-Cocktail-Cabinet-MDF-Flat-Packs?highlight=hankin+kit The "kits" are MDF panels cut to shape and I also have 1x steel control panel which was folded by a local sheet metal workshop, so you could use this as a template. As for the legs, I was planning on going back to the sheet metal guy so he could cut these to size and weld them into a T shape. They come with NO hardware, such as glass, clamps, hinges, legs, latches or arcade internals. The MDF cutouts COST $250 per cabinet to produce and I have a total of 5 kits. I will entertain offers of $1000 if I load the pallet and drop it at a freight warehouse or to an address in Sydney. $800 if you pick 'em up from the Blue Mountains in NSW, 1hr west of Sydney. I would prefer to sell them as one bulk lot, and if whoever buys them, has the patience to break them up, stands to make a few bucks if they desire, by either assembling them or cutting more templates to make more kits, As they are. they are raw so require painting or laminating. More goodies to come. Give me a buzz on 0422 869 464 as I do not check my PM's here too often. Regards, Geordie.
  13. Can I ask a really stupid question here? You're selling the remotes, Not the roller-door mecdhanism with remote?
  14. I got these off another member here a year or so ago and have done nothing with them except watch the dust gather on them. I've lost interest in this project and now I have a pile of flat-packs in my sun-room. Basically untouched since Kramer delivered them from QLD to me in NSW. They are MDF cutout pieces only, IE, cloned panel shapes from a real, dis-assembled Hankin Cabinet. There is no hinges, glass, electronics, hardware. Just MDF shapes. Some guys have successfully assembled these and they look a million bucks when they're done. I have some pretty chronic spine issues so my hobby and life priorities have switched from playing and restoring games, to simply being able to get out of bed every morning and wiggle my toes. This is not just a "Bad Back" this is "Take care of this shit or your new nickname will be 'Wheels' mate." I think there are 4 complete kits there, so best offer via PM gets em. I paid $250 a pop. Remember, They are raw MDF, with no accessories. Just MDF panels, MDF coloured. Buy the lot and pick 'em up yourself & I will cut you a deal, coz my back is f&rk) so packing them and taking them to a freight depot is like asking me to deliver them to the moon. My phone number is 0422 869 464, if I can't answer the phone I WILL call you back.
