That's like accidentally finding the Holy Grail

 

[GutsDozer]

Holy crap!

Wow.

Old news, guy has been selling them on shmups. I remember when he posted a comment on a Lukemorse1 video about it.

The prices are lol for the condition they are in.

Yea prices are silly retarded and most have monitor issues.

If I recall, Ronnie (rklok)from shmups got them all

 

[ChuChu Flamingo]

I look forward to them being re-resold.

when I moved into my last place I found a moldy shower curtain left behind. It's practically the same thing!

Supposedly a container made it to the US. I don't know how much truth is in that.

Far from a holy grail imo.

Consolettes totally beat to shit, not surprised. Late 80s cab. 26" odd ball monitor.

Prices quoted are laughable.

Guess my Q25 is worth $15,000 USD now according to Shmups inflation rates.

I hope you get to retire from selling the Q25 soon!

If I hold onto it for 10 more years inside an air tight/climate controlled bubble it will be in the millions.

The rumor is that( rklok) got them all
I PM the original seller over at shmups about a NAMCO consolette, and he said all sold and no container to the us
And look rklok went personally to see the cab's

You will see them on ebay or his own site soon enough.
