No I don't know where that one ended up. Maybe it's the one that got raffled on J+.Hiding, I only seen it last night in 15 years after seeing pics of your cab, woman owned it
These were in an old building they had bought for a business and just selling them as no interest in them, just wondered in case you bought from them also

The one I bought had the cpo stripped off unfortunately and 4 extra holes added. I bought a repro cpo from Muddy and filled the holes. Just found some pics of the cp before and after I'll put them here.
I luckily managed to get my hands on a NOS original cpo in the end and as you can see in the comparison pic the textured laminate Olly used was incredibly close to the original texture. The artwork was also absolutely spot on, I think that was originally done by NikNak if I remember correctly. They had also swapped out the original sticks and buttons but luckily they were hiding in the coinbox so I was able to put those back on.

Love that overlay ! The heavy duty laminate were hard as nails. I have used 2 nos Electrocoin overlays and both were still sticky after 30 + years !! God knows the type of glue they used on them.

Will post some pictures of the side art, pretty special ! Considering it is from 1989 the condition is excellent.Yeaaaah, that looks amazing and fantastic condition! Love it.
Cool cab with the 3 guns, imagine 3 big fellas trying to play that
Hopefully we will hear the sound of 3 Uzi recoil this year at a meet!

Don't know how I missed this thread, just read through the lot, great stuff
Seeing all those street fighter 1 panels, and all I want is one!
A mention some pages back about the blue style cabinets, I've seen them before and never since, mustn't be many left

I only saw one of them recently in a Japanese arcade, just for comparison
Does this xmen cabinet have an electrocoin connection? Has that look about it

Possibly ?
I do have an owners manual for X-men by Electrocoin but not familiar with the cabinet design.

Was hoping to see the footage of you playing 2 Uzis at the same time ! Wasn’t sure if I had imagined it 😂

Thats a really good indication on xmen and electrocoin!
I know there was one mentioned here before on ukvac, but I can't even find the pictures of it now
Might as well throw in a picture of a goliath running cadillacs and dinosaurs

That's the first time I've seen the Cadilacs and Dinosaur's marquee in a cab as I've never used mine, looks great. That's the beauty of having the marquees, it feels like you're playing a dedicated cab.
Yes that Xmen cab was made by Electrocoin. I remember when they kept popping up for sale for around £150 £200 back when we were all short for space and avoided the bigger cabs. It's a great looking cab and they would go weeks unsold, crazy.

Well that Clears that up. I'd definitely choose that one over the official konami sunset riders/turtles/simpsons cabinet, its unique
