Tournament Arkanoid in Taito QIX Cabinet - Philly, PA

Nice Taito QIX cab with no water/moisture damage at all. Sides were painted black & have ROMSTAR decal on it. Front cab art is still QIX. Some minimal Taito wiring remains (lights)

The game works perfectly though I took the monitor to repair another game. I am happy to give you a Matsushita 19" with this but it doesn't fit in the cab (chassis sticks out the back).

This is fine as-is or would be an ideal candidate to turn back to a QIX, convert to Zoo Keeper or Multi-Taito...



$150 with the matsushita monitor
or
$125 no monitor


Looking to sell soon, I need the room and the $$$ :0)


NOTE: The Matsushita just got a cap kit and was re-juved though it still needs adjusting and has very minor Millipede burn.

Wrong coast. Always the wrong coast. *sigh*

Am I completely nuts for considering shipping this out to the west coast? I'd really like to have an Arkanoid and I've always wanted one in a classic Taito cab because I think it looks cool that way. I even have several spare monitors sitting around just taking up space and collecting dust in my storage room.

Yeah, I know it would be cheaper to put something like this together myself by scrounging a cab and parts, but I'm a sucker for convenience and this one has a decent CPO and bezel and looks pretty good. I haven't called NAVL to get a quote lately but I'm guessing it'll easily be $400 to go from Philly to Seattle and probably more these days.
 
Well...

I'd be happy to sell it to you and also that it goes to a good home but:

Yea shipping the cab would be pretty nuts. You'd be better off finding a Taito cab by you and buying the "kit" off me. Actually not a bad idea?

...except that I don't want to do all of the pain in the ass work of transferring everything, and most project classic Taito cabs are water damaged pieces of crap while yours isn't. :(

I'll call NAVL tomorrow just out of curiosity. That'll probably be enough to get me to forget the idea.
 
Arkanoid in a QIX cab...

Ok update. Since I sold/am selling several other games I have decided to keep this cab & make it either a QIX or multi-taito.

So now this thread is MMAO for the Arkanoid bits: board, harness, marquee, populated control panel.

Prefer someone local but can ship at cost if needed.


I'd trade for:
60-in-1 jamma board (even trade)
Multi-williams board (even trade)
Multi-taito board (I'll toss you some cash)
