Item: Full size custom build arcade
Constructed with supawood, fits through a standard doorway (just) so it's the "usual" full size.
Run off full PC inside, with a case. Very basic GPU, but specifically one that can run a CRT monitor.
Screen is modified to fit Sony Flatron 74cm CRT TV, one of the best CRT's you can find locally.
Sound is small sub in base (integrated) with stereo speakers up top, running off their own amplifier, goes plenty loud.
Imported sticks and buttons.
It's running BigBox software on windows, with a skin that works with CRT. It can be converted to LCD by simply swopping the monitor and settings in the software. It functions 100%.
What is not completed is just cosmetic:
The cabinet is matte black - meant to do vinyl graphics still.
The T-moulding strips for the edges I have, slot was cut with router, wanted to install after vinyl so it seats over the vinyl edge.
The marquee has a light + acrylic panel, needs it's own vinyl and final fixing.
After above the cabinet is complete. Depends on if you want graphics or not. If not just install T-moulding and it's done.
Age: 2-3 years approx., but no kids, so only occasionally used by myself
Price: Let's talk, it's a budget PC, wood, speakers, sub, amp, screen, buttons and joysticks, software (purchased, not sure if you can transfer that though), light, fans, T-moulding, aluminium strips, acrylic, power switch, cabling and A LOT of time / sundries. Easy 10k+ in parts alone. I remember 18k for the whole project, or very close to it.
Payment Method Accepted: Cash / EFT
Warranty: No, but feel free to extensively come and test / inspect it
Warranty Holder: N/A
Packaging: No, this thing is BIG and HEAVY. CRT monitor alone is heavy. Whole thing? 100kg maybe more.
Condition: As described above
Location: Stellenbosch
Reason: I have a 2nd one, went for modern LCD setup with light guns etc. Bowers&Wilkins speakers and higher end PC and geniune Sanwa joysticks, all PROPER parts. So enjoyed the true retro CRT alongside the modern LCD version for a few years, but I want to do a digital display full size pinball table next...
Shipping: No way. It'll be crazy expensive and even though it's very well constructed I would trust a company. Collection only on this one.
Collection: Very much the only option here
Link: PM me if truly interested and we talk
Here is the bartop I built (brother in law bought that one), the full size one would look similar, just with CRT, when done in the vinyl etc)
