I need to free up this corner of the room to clear the space for my synthesizers that oh so badly need repairs. Too many plenty bulky items! 😅

If you’re in Helsinki metropolitan area and in need of a fullsize emu cab - 500€ and this all-singing all-dancing crt gaming treat is yours.

And for the price, you get to pick up too! 🥳

Well, that was some bad wording on my end for possible buyers.

Not restricting sales to said area, every buyer welcome but you do have to come pick this up. Definitely can help load the cab to your van, but that’s abt it then 🥳

@arto_koivisto If I was in Helsinki I'd be round to pick it up in 10 .. but Canada is a bit too far away. It would cost a fortune to hire all the moose to move that!
@psychicparrot42 sure have had my share of fun moving the cab around, let alone building it 😅
@arto_koivisto Oh I just realized ... CRT .. and that's quite a BIG CRT isn't it? My back hurts just thinking about moving it!! 🤣
@psychicparrot42 pretty common size I think. It’s a 21” Sony Trinitron swap, what fits on the tube rotating mech. All the mdf sheets of the body no doubt weigh a ton more :)

@arto_koivisto well that sure would be up my alley but i don't even get that much study grants a month

maybe you could message Sugoi-arcade to see if they're interested?

@maksu that’s totally understandable. Buying a ready-to-play cab was out of my budget too, so built this one myself from scrap. Working on it over a long time then helped to split parts cost. I don’t even dare counting hours put it on all the crafting work 😅

I just recently had a chat with owner of Sugoi arcade. His interests are squarely on the real arcades, not the custom emulator builds like what I have.

@arto_koivisto That looks familiar :-)
@harri still alive and kicking, but with some upgrades too. Video is all proper rgb scart, joysticks & buttons rewired for usb, windows traded to linux, subwoofer tweaked for less boomy response. Even installed a convenience led light strip for the rare occasion of servicing the interior 😄
@arto_koivisto Nice :-) What was the video connection before?
@harri just plain good old composite video :)
@arto_koivisto Yeah quite a bit of difference then :-)
@arto_koivisto oooh, so tempted, but not quite sure if I can fit it
