So I was given the chance to inherit a Xybots cab from someone else here in the office, and for the price of pizza I was give this:
Apparently, it's been out of commercial use and in private collection since 91. It's been floating around the garages of a few people here in the office for a while until it ended up here for good a couple of years back. Facilities wanted to clear it out of storage and that's how I ended up with it. The only thing it needs is some work on the 2p joystick. It would be some custom work as Xybots uses an actuator on the bottom of a standard 8 way to simulate the 3d "turning" effect.

I'm not really interested in Xybots, but before I do something drastic like convert it to a Playchoice, I thought I would offer it up for sale or trade here.
If there isn't any interest, I'm rewiring it for JAMMA or Nintendo and will sell the board set on the cheap later on.
