    Hey,

    I will never get around to fixing this up and i think one cocktail table is enough for any man, so selling it on.

    Things to note.

    1. Monitor is necked, so needs a new monitor.
    2. Glass is gone, so needs need top glass.

    Its in good condition for its age, needs some work though. cleaning, love etc.

    It contains the pcb, 3 layered i think. Im guessing its moon base but i dunno.
    I plugged it in when i got it originally before i realized the screen was necked. it powered up, humming noises etc. so might just need a new monitor.

    A project cab sure, but you don't get many of these floating around and it comes with the game.

    Selling it for what i bought it for, 200 Euro.

    Collection in Athy. Would probably be able to drive it Dublin and arrange meeting up somewhere. Clondalkin, Ballyfermot area or Merrion Square. It will fit in a car no problem.

    Any questions\comments just ask.

    Sorry I've just seen the Charter on PM's regarding sale.
    Mr Keithgeo, I'll take this off your hands for 150?
    I'll probably stick a multiboard in it , and try to restore outside to its's former glory.

    Great man..Can't wait.
    This will be the first cab to be accepted by my missus with willing arms, she may even be allowed rest her wine on the table.....with supervision of course. STRICT supervision.

    Is there some sort of drawer I can store Hello and Vouge magazines in? :)

    Would love this,
    but unfortunately I cant :(
    is the controls on both sides?

    How did your other one turn out?
    A 20" polo would fit nicely in there too if anyone's considering it.......... ;)

    Controls on both sides, everything original inside it too. monitor is necked though.

    Still working on the other, i sprayed the bottom metal part the weekend, but was being lazy and didnt sand it before hand, im going to do it again though i wasnt happy with it. so going to sand it.

    The leg holders and other bits off my tetris cab turned out fine after spraying though. going to finish off the tetris cab this week then concentrate on the cocktail.

    Sorry man I've been away with work last two weeks and generally up to me nuts.
    I still want it just haven't had time to even look at this forum.
    I will transfer money asap...I have not intentionally been ignoring you.
    Does some day this weekend suit pickup...possibly sunday or Monday?
    And I understand if you've promised to another buyer at this stage

    Thanks man.
    I think a 20" would be nice in it, but ideally I want a 13/14" monitor so I don't have to chop up the table top surface.
    I really want to keep it original if possible.
    I'm aiming for a vert setup methinks,just space invader and a few other classics.
