Hi there,

I’m interested in a New Net City if possible, but would also be open to a Blast City if that’s all that is still available.

PM sent!

I'm going to ask but I have a feeling that there isn't any, because the are trying to sell me a few other things too, like Megalows and insanely priced Initial D's, so I'm sure that they would have mentioned them as well.


Megalo's eh?

I had an angle on a FREE Megalo 2 back in Portland... I want one for sure, but not sure it;s the right time for me. I'd just want the seat/CP area, not the 50" projection part.

Are they offering a good price? I guess shipping on something that big would be a real punch to the gut.

I'm going to firm my order with them this week, unless everyone that was interested before, isn't, after the pictures.
I think your mailbox might be full. I sent a couple PMs but they are stuck in my outbox. (150 message limit is pretty low)

Either way I'm definitely interested in a Blast City for myself (preferably) as well as another Blast City or an Egret (whichever is available) - for a local buddy of mine.

Thanks!

For the Megalo 50, it's the whole kit, or nothing. I'm sorry but it will take up to much room, plus they want $1100 fur them.

So everyone, the purchase has gone though. So this possible candy cab buy has become an accually buy. So at this point, everyone that said that they were in will be included in the original offer of paying cost for what they are looking for, we'll work that out later. Any one beyond this point, I don't know if I can still offer one to them or for what price, but put it down on the thread.

Sorry but no pictures of the Egret's yet.

It's not successful yet, but I guess alot of them fail from getting the funds together. But you never know what will happen, this guy might have all these machines sitting around or they are running around from game center to game center, buying the machines directly from operators, or the container may fall off, into the sea.

At least, the first big step is done.

I'm pretty excited. Whats the best way to take the yellowing out of the chassis?

From what I understand "retrobright" seems to work nicely. The only yellowed parts on my New Astro City is the plastic speaker shroud. I've thought about whitening it, but to be honest, the yellowing matches the rest of the battle scars on the cab. Perhaps one day I will do a full restore - which will include taking the whole thing apart and getting it professionally re-painted, but until then I'm just going to keep it as-is and enjoy playing it!
