Hi all. As per title, if you own an Electrocoin arcade machine or anything else made by Electrocoin that you would like to share pics of with the forum then please feel free to post them in this thread, as I for one would love to see them and I'm sure everyone else would too!

I'll start off with pics of a few of mine which were taken quite a while ago (the last time the place was actually tidy) and I'll add some more of cabs from the over side of the room when I find pics of them. Any pics I have with the monitors on were taken in the dark unfortunately so these are all with the monitors off but at least you can see the cabs. A couple of these were mid restoration.

Thanks for reading and if you wish to share pics of yours be it a single cab, a piece of artwork or just to have some Electrocoin chat then you know what to do.

Absolutely outstanding collection Matt. Love the variety and also the lesser seen cabinets which you have. Inspiring stuff !
My personal favorites from your pictures are the Salamander and Mercs which give me true 90s vibes and nostalgia from the Southport arcades we both enjoyed as teenagers .

Quite a rare cab I had, came from Holiday Camp Site over Norfolk

Electrocoin Driver with Hypercrash game, only have a couple of pics of it. I'm not that keen on upright drivers else I would have kept it to play a few different games in, Hypercrash was rubbish though but a cool cab

Electrocoin Midi Mk1

This would have been a nice little cab, smaller than the Mk2 and similar designed Taitel T83 but it was bad condition, would have needed at least 70% of the cab remaking, sides swollen, base wasn't even flat so it was like a rocking chair, had LCD, crap wiring and falling apart which was a shame and most of it painted black, smaller than others due to being 14" screen so not as deep

I assume so, the Centi SF had really poor one so CP is now on that as I swapped all cabs to Centi from 4 Goliaths

Would have liked the SF with full artwork but £600 was quite a lot at the time, this still looks the part if cabs in a row as won't see side art anyway and this was only £200 and the Goliath SF was £100, the front lower artwork is slighty different to the ones with full artwork

did try to sell the Goliath with the poor CP which only needed an overlay, no one was interested in SF1, all wanted to put SFII in it so I kept the CP which will be going on another Centi so all 4 have this type Control Panels

Hadn’t posted these photos before and at the other end of the Electrocoin spectrum (no pun intended) from the beautiful cabinets posted by other members on this thread .
In 2020 I picked up 4 Xenon’s which had been sited at a Snooker Hall in Oldham.Covid had a drastic effect on the business compounded with ill health in the owners family so they had been long out of service and needed to be cleared from the basement..
There was only one worker in lovely original condition with a 2 slot and shock troopers (I used for Aliens picture below) the rest were piles of parts with various faults and all had seen break ins to some extent when once in the snooker club arcade. It has been a lot of fun getting them all going over the last 2 years or so . Will update with some happier photos soon !

Update

After posting this message I sent the snooker club owner a message to see how they are getting on and I am glad to say they have opened a new club in Oldham. He wishes that he had photos of the arcade section of the club and apparently at its height in the mid 90s they had 40 cabinets on site. It seems that the photos taken in the basement that day are all we will see.

Someone on FB is selling a few Duets, but has just slapped in wide-screen LCD panels. Look terrible, but apparently you get the original CRTs too, if you want to put them back in.

That's very kind of you to say so. Thanks very much Flyback! My meagre collection isn't a patch on your own, of course, which is something I could only aspire to in an alternative universe, but it keeps me coming back to the games I love.
