[rvls]

Damn that looks great. Gotta get some games in on it!

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Damn you! I want one! what did it set you back? I know there's a thread on these and I'm thinking one of these woudl be more economical than a vewlix.

 

[scgon]

[MegaGraffin]

[mr_b]

Ughhh is English your first language???

just giving you shit man.

 

[Mugicha]

some stuff I ordered came in together today, a last blade 2 cart with near perfect label from sat985 (the only mvs game I had to have a nice label for). And, my all time fave puzzle game puyo puyo!

unfortunately the p2 side sound on the puyo cart is pure garbage it even sounds bad when just playing against the computer. Still very happy to have it though.

Received this from Fox1 On Saturday. Fox1 went above and beyond on sending this+price.

Still dirty even after I cleaned it up with windex and magic eraser. I really don't know how to get this dirt off, might be yellowing.

Those are the two things I use to clean board shells and cabs. If the magic eraser doesn't get it out I usually just figure it's permanent and leave it alone. I'm not sure what else would work after that.

Nice pickup by the way.

 

[lantus360]

[Mugicha]

[MegaGraffin]

I know its' not arcade related but on somewhat of a whim today I purchased this 2007 Subaru WRX! This is a car I've wanted for quite some time.

Now I can play Neo Drift Out irl. Picking it up on Saturday and I don't even know how to drive a stick. I've heard it's not very difficult.

 

[arcade game]

congrats.that's a really nice car.don't worry about learning how to drive stick shift it's not that difficult
specially on import cars that have a really soft clutch.compare to american stick shift clutch cars is a bit harder

Thx AG. That is reassuring to hear. The dealer said he'd give me a 1-2 hr lesson before I drive it home. Watching youtube videos has been a little helpful. I've played racing video games all my life and used the manual transmission. How much different can it be??lol

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Very. Don't shift like you would in a game. It'll be an expensive mistake to fix. :P

 

[KaPH33n]

biggest thing is finding that transfer point on the clutch. honestly once you master it you'll never want to go back to auto.

back to arcade related gooods... got in some stools from Taito yesterday

 

[wataru330]

Stools = hella rad! Nice get.

Clutch? What's that? 0_o

Speed shifts FTW! ^_^

 

[Fuzzytaco]

Respect.

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Awesome scoop, I would like to see a SSII conversion of that type of cab, looks really nice.

 

[fox]

That was after about 8 man hours of cleaning, Just touched up all the black metal parts of the cab with fresh paint. Had to replace all the locks and fix the player on Joystick. Monitor is excellent and the cab and graphics are great now. Not bad for under a grand delivered and installed in my basement.

 

[codecrank]

Nice grab ! is that a lcd or crt monitor in there ?

One thing the US cabs will always have over Japanese cabs is ROOM.

a sit down version of a big blue would be so cool

 

[fox]

It is a CRT. It can be lowered to be a sit down. There is different mounting holes on the side for the monitor and CP. It can be lowered about 12"

 

[loegan43]

I got the same cab a couple years ago off my local craigslist as well, Lol. It's a great cab, good picture, CRT monitor (Sanwa IIRC). It's a beast though, heaviest cab I own by far.
