teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Ninja16608]

00 steel wool, 3 pack of brushes, steel, brass, plastic. I pulled this out of the storage crate with the cd deck still attached. Found the cords and a controller. Fired it up with a near destroyed Sonic CD and it played like a dream. It looks like shit right now but I'm happy it works. I decide I need to clean her up a bit. I find this inside :-( That's why the brushes and wool. After I spruce her up I'll show the finished product.

Don't bother with the shielding on the Genesis, its not needed. You will just be wasting your time trying to get all that rust off.

Yeah I figured as much. Surprisingly the cd unit had almost none. The Genesis was to the point where it was spreading to the PCB. It looks like I caught it before any real damage was done. Anyhow I have the finished product, just need to take some good pics.

I so f&cking hate this thread because I am just waaaaaaaaaaay toooo jealous of some items. I am sorry, but it's true.

Thankfully, my jealousy subsides after a minute, but, DAMN, I am ashamed of my initial pangs of envy.

Ashamed.

It is not a coincidence that I post this directly after dingsbums...he has posted so many kool items over the years that I consider his home a veritable HEAVEN.

i am beside myself with that bonk.
can i house sit for you if you ever go away?

New cab. Needs some cosmetic work but it should clean up nice. Most importantly though, the PCB and monitor are in great working order!

Talk about being jealous! I would love a Nintendo R-Type cab.

This is like my holy grail of US  cabs to get so I'm very excited
Yeah this is one of the only wood cabs I love. It's a little rough though but I'm feeling ambitions and I want this to look great for an upcoming arcade con next to all the other fixed up cabs.

Where would someone such as myself who lives in the Midwest be able to get a candy cab? Or rather, what's the best place for those?

This is really the only forum I frequent and I figure I'd start my search here as I see you've gotten one.

Wow this is great! He also gets PCE games too. Thanks a bunch.

Most excellent find, Evan! I was actually teaching someone the other day about the historical significance of R-Type and how the arcade version was actually distributed by Nintendo. What a crazy coincidence that a friend of mine just happens to get one a day or two later.

For new englanders...neacf.com is a great resource. Kind of like this place, you need to be approved access first. I brokered about 15 cab sales on that site a few years ago.

There is a guy in Mass. who had a whole warehouse full of machines. I have his contact if anyone is interested. Not sure if it's still there but I scored a very nice Neo Geo 4 slot upright arcade with 6 games for $500. When I went to pick it up he even tossed in a few more and had a whole damn closet full of MVS carts. He also had pinballs and other machines, might be worth a look.
