FS Game: Virtual Boy Arcade Cabinet

[Tighe]

[SOLD] Virtual Boy Arcade Cabinet

I have and opportunity to pick up a grail pinball machine, but I have a very short time frame to get it. I am selling my custom Virtual Boy Arcade cabinet. I don't want to sell is as I put my heart and soul into it, but for a TNG pin I would sell my soul.

The price is $2500 + shipping.

Here is more information on the cabinet:

Here is a video of it in action:

since this video I have made a few changes, the flipper buttons are black and the marquee light is red which looks much nicer.

You can see the changes in this video:

That thing is so friggin sweet. You did an amazing job on it. If I had the cash to blow, I'd buy it in a second and I've never even played the Virtual Boy except for once, in a store when it first came out. Good luck with the sale and I hope you make another one some day.

Tighe... if this sold for $2500 you should immediately start pumping these things out! You could probably sell a few more at that price and then a few more at $2k then a few more at $1.5k then a bunch more at $1k.

Then you could take a nice Hawaiian vacation to relax.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Tho maybe give the buyer a year of basking in the 1of glory

Not a big fan of the VB, but this cab is retardedly awesome.

 

[Pinwizkid]

It's incredible how this thing makes me want to actually PLAY Virtual Boy

Wonder if there'd be an issue with Nintendo if you started taking orders... Good luck!
