That's an ORIGINAL? cab?

Doesn't look it to me - where's the sideart?

Dunno, maybe side art came later?

There's also a sitdown star wars on there http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 60858&rd=1

Well it resembles this Tempest cab from the film Night of the Comet (1984) which also has wooden side panels so I guess not all cabs had side art:

More pics here.

inside it has had its steering control replaced with a joystick as the buttons on the steering control constantly kept breaking down

That's a mini (cabaret) sized cab and they didn't usually have sideart. The full sized uprights always had sideart though.

Well, they've now made the cab effectively worthless. What a complete fuckwit. He's also put a Sega 32X in there. WTF?

I'm feeling quite stabby now...

As cabaret cabs go, Tempest is quite a nice one. My old Tempest was one just like that. It has the same 19" monitor as the big upright cab.

I miss my Tempest....

That's absolutely awful, I wouldn't have posted it if I knew he'd done all that to it.

Well apparently some other cunt did that and this cunt bought it from that cunt if you read the question on the bottom of the page.

Bah. At first I thought "sit down Star Wars! tempting"... then I read a bit more and thought "ah, *broken* sit down Star Wars, not that tempting"... and then I read about the joystick and just thought "cunt".

I'm guessing, if it's got a sega in it now, it's not even got it's vector screen any more..

If it had, I would've been tempted to buy it and restore it with a proper StarWars controller, and turn it into a vector MAME cab.
