Whoaa! A Sydney sider! Where abouts in Sydney?

Welcome to the forums - a place of really smart and talented people! Too bad I'm not one of those :D :D

I'm here to drool over peoples collections and learn from the talented folks here.
 
Hey mate, I'm in Collaroy, what about yourself? Some great collections here, I have a few candy cabs but getting harder to find them at a reasonable price. most are in other states.

Hey Lobsterboi, I too am from Sydney. I work about 10 minutes from Collaroy and live about 20. Used to spend a lot of time in Collaroy Plateau as a kid actually heh.

I loves the old CRT's (broadcast + B&O + 1084's) and pre-ps2 consoles and have just delved into the CPS2's and ordered a darksoft kit from Italy. Keen to see some classic Capcom's on my PVM's :)
Where the heck did you get your hands on the candy cabs ? They're quite rare now!
 
Hey evilsim, ah cool. don't know many arcade enthusiasts on the Northern Beaches, I actually live in the Plateau. I have a collected a lot of CRTs, mainly 14" TVs and 14" / 20" tubes, always wanted a PVM but not easy to get either.

I got my first candy which is a Exceleena about 15 years ago, took a break as was living in an apartment, now have a house so slowly finding them but true not many around so have 4 now, two CRTs and two LCDs.
 
Damn! Northern beaches... There's a few here from the Northern beaches iirc.

So far I'm the only Western Sydney person around here....
