Here’s the story.

Sounds like an absolutely legendary place...

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

Totally does. If only there was a podcast where someone interviewed the owner and we got to hear all the stories about it. Having so many Exceleenas at that time in NZ really seems out of place; so the owner must have been a true enthusiast.

An observation if I may - amazing how the longevity of the current online communities was born from the founding members attending arcades and meeting/competing. Lifelong bonds formed.
I would like to think this means arcades are still relevant within todays ever changing method of fostering "community" in games.

Community building is very different when someone can throw an ashtray at you for acting like a knobend?

Stumbled across a VS City for auction - (I have never used this auction place before and freight must be arranged by the customer it appears)

I guess "generous" is a very subjective word

Bidders are reminded that the vendor is bound by a strict timeline and a generous collection period has been arranged for the following dates and times:
Wednesday 15th March 2023 - Between the hours of 2pm and 4pm
Thursday 16th March 2023 - Between the hours of 2pm and 4pm
Friday 17th March 2023 - Between the hours of 2pm and 4pm

@xb74 I’ve lived in ACT and bought from allbids without issue. They are good for getting cheap step down transformers from US Embassy sales ☺️ This is obviously one of those auctions where the item is not in the showroom but the company themselves are your standard auctioneers.

700 for a blast without a chassis, seller is vague so the tube is probably toast.

It’s a listing for 240 Amusements… In person inspection likely a good idea!

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

I would love to have a sticky beak in that warehouse.

Hey guys, I see Highway has a Tekken 7 Twin Set (Namco Noirs ?) for $3500 on their Facebook site. I don’t have Facebook so it’s sort of subdued out and obscured with forced sign-in pop ups but might be worth a look if you’re on Facebook. They might be Noir knockoffs. The site appears corrupted too in some weird language.

Edit: pretty sure they’re some clone cab when I screenshot and zoom in.

Someone sent me a link to some Korean Noir clones on Gumtree from Zax. Probably the same batch.

They're not even Noir clones - looks nothing like a noir except the large marquee

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

It’s that similar profile though - thanks for the pic. This is all I could get. Let’s face it though but would still be fun to play

That cab looks a lot like the River Service New Delta. What's cool about the New Delta is that it is the only LCD cab with a rotate mech. Might be worth checking into if that's something you're interested in.

It should have an oval cutout in the back piece and the part that mounts the monitor to it is circular. Both of these things can be seen from the side of the cab.

@mR_CaESaR further down in their feed there’s a Tongli. I was thinking the Tekken ones might have been the same as that’s clearly a clone.

 

[mR_CaESaR]

That one looks more like a Noir clone.

If the Tekken 6 Noir Shell that Zax has FS atm, had the Noir marquee, then it'd be worth looking into imo. For 500 for a HD shell - change the monitor to an LG 165hz, wire up a brook UFB and you'd have a nice solid candy.

I'll still say to this day, I'm yet to hear a better sounding candy cab than a Noir, i'm very tempted to make my noirs my SF6 cabs instead of my chewlixs tbh (ie. upgrade to ps5 and 165hz monitors)

edit: here's the pic from their page

I"ll ask the question.
If they are RS cabs then that could be a great score for someone.

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

They’d go well in a barcade situation.

Got a cps2 a and b board fs for 300 and 2x dead naomis for 100 if anyone is interested.
