Stargate cabaret lands at the Condocade

[savit4l8r]

After months of searching I was able to scratch #1 off my want list. A very special thanks to forum member Barakawins in New Jersey for selling this to me and making this happen. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly reccomend him in the event you have dealinings with him. He said I would love it and he was right. Thank you! Ths was my second shipping experience and first in 15 years after a previos bad experience. NAVL was a pleasure to deal with and I would recomend them as well. Without further ado some pics:

Nice pick-up!

Those are the best looking cabarets IMO. Fully decorated ... not the usual plain jane wood grain... (even though those are cool too).

Get yourself a Robotron right next to it... and you got yourself two really great games right there!

And in the lineup:

Gorgeous line up Sav. If you had a DK cabaret in there I'd call it a perfect line up. Damn that Stargate is nice. Congratz!!

I agree. They are tiny, 18 1/2" wide. My M.C. and A.D. are 20 1/2". A Robo is in the long term plans.

Thanks! It is very nice, looks barely used with just a few dings from moving/storage. This is motivating me to fix my 'pede so I can get it out of the shop (the bedroom). A DK would be 2nd up right now after a Robo cabaret.

Oh snap, I forgot about your Centi Mini. *Drools* I love cabarets and minis. Each manufacturers' take on the mini cabinet has always intrigued me.

Yeah I need to look at the power supply to make sure it doesn't blow the board I just got repaired and change the trac ball and CP overlay. I love the cabarets too. Though Atari is my favorite manufacturer, I think Williams nailed them.

Damn, now you made me want to find, restore or conjure up a Moon Patrol Mini. I wonder if a Robotron mini would be a good conversion candidate?

They only made Stargate, Robotron and Make Trax. If you bastardize a Robo, I'll personally fly out there and kick your ass but since Make Trax sucks, killing one of those is okay with me. Make Trax will be much cheaper than a Robo anyway...

Do it! Be the only one to own one (until everyone sees how good it looks)..

All joking aside, it would be a sweet mini. Moon Patrol has some of the best artwork and I think it would look killer in cabaret form. In fact, it would be the best mini ever conceived. Wonder why there weren't any done that way from the factory? I've seen MP cocktails, but no cabarets. Strange. That Bubbles mini is pretty stellar too.

 

[savit4l8r]

...and Bubbles.

Nice score Andy, didn't know you were fond of Stargate. You must get them all now. The Williams ones are really cool since they have the same side art. I may have to Reconsider my options but I'd still be stuck with Defender, Joust, and Blaster. What do I get in that exchange, space for one game? 13" Screen Stargate, Defender or Robotron is a bitch.

Thanks, but I'm not good at it like you. Any pointers? I'll get the Robo eventually, but no interest in Make Trax or Bubbles. The 13" monitor is actually fine, I don't mind it at all. Rbob might be a different story. Or it might not.

That Stargate Mini looks awesome. Congrads Andy!!!

 

[EVB]

I don't know the make trax could be pretty cool with the 96-1 kit installed. I agree, bubbles kind of blows. It would still be prett cool to have all of them. I'm all for taking a make trax mini and turning it into a sinistar mini. Now that would be cool.
Stargate tricks are get all the warps, after that make sure to keep as many humans on the ship as possible, the extra points for consecutive catches boosts your score a lot and all the humans on the ship slow things down a bit. Always aim your shots and use smart bombs and inviso sparingly. Oh yeah and the stargate takes you to where landers are abducting humans.

Nice gate sav.
Was a Food Fight cabaret cabinet ever manuf? You could try it again with dip switches if so.
