Ok, So I have been chasing some Gaplus parts for ages and have had no luck, However, there is a full dedicated Gaplus on eBay at the moment and I have a thought......

Are there any local members who could help me out, and get a left over cabinet for themselves? What I was thinking is, I win the auction (Price depending of course) then a local member picks it up for me and takes it to their house/shop etc. When they can, they strip the cab for the parts I need, scan or take high res photos of the side art/kick panel, and ship them to me (I pay shipping) and they keep the rest.

This should leave the cabinet, monitor, harness, coin door and maybe the PCB (still thinking about options there)

So, the big question is, can anyone/will anyone do this for me? I just cant get these parts or images locally.
 
Well, I'm just throwing it out there. I have been trying to buy the part themselves with no success. (check the arcade wanted forum)

This is just an option. The remaining cab could be put back together if so desired, as I know that some members have the parts, just not the desire to sell them as they want a cab to put them in, or converted to a galaga or maybe a "dedicated" galaga88.

I would take the whole cab if possible, but getting it to Australia costs thousands!

Simply put, this is the only way I can have a Gaplus, original parts in a recreated cabinet over here. I'll also be creating the art file so that's a win for the community I would think.

Hope that appeases you nuke?
 
Nothing against you personally. I just doubt you'll find many people willing to take apart an already complete cabinet to send out parts. Then again, I'm sure this place will surprise me.
 
I would kill it for you if you wanted. I don't think its that rare or desirable of a game that would be a big deal. I would could probably do something to save the cab. Hell, I might part out a seriously rare cab soon (keyboardmania) if no one wants to save it.

It would seem to me you would need the wiring harness. Unless you going to do a gaplus to jamma adapter. But I would want another reason to go up to SF than just getting the cab. Maybe I could tie it in to something else I would be doing. If you can contact the seller and if they would give you like 7 days for pickup, I would do it.
 
I'm willing to help if MrBill doesn't do it. I sympathize with the overseas KLOVers, we take a lot for granted hereabouts.
 
I think I could get it handled too.

You've got lots of options here.
 
Thanks to everyone who offered assistance with this. Unfortunately the price got away from me (was outbid) when I had to consider the shipping cost on top of the purchase price.

Anyway, thanks again, and if anyone has a Gaplus and would take some scans/photos of the artwork, I would be very greatful
 
I had no intention of bidding, but..

I was following this auction too just to see if a KLOVer got this one..

Please chime in if you did!
