Star Wars arcade machine...
The original vector one from the 80s. Bargain price but in my drunken state the distance was misjudged. I'm in Liverpool, machine in Aberdeen and since I'd been to Glasgow a few times I thought what the hell, not realising Glasgow is the halfway point. 18 hours in a rental van, not fun. Machine was ace tho after a bit (lot) of fettling :)

Was the upright
Had the rare Amplifone monitor in it which I painstakingly rebuilt including a new transformer (£250 from the USA). Also rebuilt the AR2, vector gen side of the gameboard, AVG replacement, fitted cooling fans, coin door powder coated, yoke rebuild kit fitted, marquee light replaced etc etc etc. Kept it a while then the main board developed a horrid mathbox fault which I mostly cured but never got 100% so I sold it on, now a Sega Naomi running Ikaruga lives in it's spot. Yes, I am sad.

Tl;DR - worked a bit then died so I sold it and replaced it with a chunk of Jap Crap.

I recently managed to buy a Rush 2049 two piece sit down racer while located in Edinburgh, found out where Camborne is (550 miles away) and a dusk till dusk round trip, pretty much worth it though.
