Hi all!
I come from Croatia, the land where arcade cabs weren't really a big thing (billiards and pinball were far more popular). And, if there were cabs, they were mostly drivers.
But, I have some fond memories playing some lonely cabs in various places, so wanted to get myself a cab or two, Which is really hard here.
Anyway, after a LOT of searching, I stumbled upon a guy in a remote village who did rentals of various entertainment machines. Asked if he had an old cab, said he has a Naomi - not my first choice as I want an older wooden cabinet, but I couldn't be picky. But, after some searching through his defunct webpage, I have noticed a Killer instinct cab and asked about that one. He said it's not working, but I was insisting that I will buy it anyway. So I went to a trip and organized transportation.
Long story short, after going there to pick up two cabs, I came back with these:
And also some other goodies (left box works, right box doesn't)
Needles to say that I'm really happy. Out of 7 cabinets (there is one hidden naomi in the first pic), only 2 aren't working, and only one isn't complete (the red naomi, which is bought for parts anyway).
Now I have some fun projects to look forward to. As I'm a total noob, I'll probably bother you guys alot
