SEGA Blast City Candy Cab!

After many years I’ve gone full circle and now own a proper Japanese candy cab!
Happy New Year!

[@HyperTriggerEx]

Man those Japanese style candy cabs are a thing of beauty and Beaps did cracking work bring the the cab back to life. I’d love an arcade machine at some point even if it’s just a Bartop. I ain’t got the room for a full size cab though :(.

[@GRUSSNewton]

dylan craven hey mate, there’s a chap on Facebook who does the candy cab bar tops which look stunning! Failing that... I’m sure you could find room somewhere!? 😛

[@rollerxcore]

Amazing looking machine. i bet your made up. a Tate cab is my grail item at the moment. The obvious solution to not having to move the screen, is a nice second cab by its side ;)

[@GRUSSNewton]

Rollerxcore ha cheers pal! Yeah I would say a second cab is deffo on the cards! 😀 thanks for watching and subbing too 👍

[@rollerxcore]

@@GRUSSNewton Cheers mate, Im sure Dylan told me a while ago you stopped doing you tube or i would have subbed before. ;)

[@neozeed1984]

You have exactly what I would love to get. The cab with a good crt is all I would want. Your lucky to know the right people to get one and have the crt fixed, Enjoy! Happy New Year, Cheers!

[@GRUSSNewton]

neozeed1964 happy new year! I’ve wanted one for a good few years so to finally get one before the prices rocket then I’m happy! Thanks for watching!

[@Beaps73]

Great vid mate, glad you are enjoying it. It's a slice of arcade history you now own. Enjoy

[@GRUSSNewton]

Beaps73 thanks again man!

[@MartinIrwin]

Love it.

[@GRUSSNewton]

👌

[@shuckylad]

Brilliant stuff Russ lad. I’d sit all day playing under defeat on that.

[@GRUSSNewton]

Stuart Shuck ha got that on it! Thanks for watching

[@TheRetroGodfather.]

Nice one Russ, thats a lovely thing to own !! Love the look of japanese candy cabs, so stylish ! Excellent purchase Russ.

[@GRUSSNewton]

The RetroGodfather cheers Dal, thru do look very cool and not totally out of place in the conservatory. Maybe he needs another brother? Haha

[@RockstarRunner7]

Great to see you made a video about the cab, Russ! And also great to see you 'back' 😁

[@GRUSSNewton]

RockstarRunner7 the 360 has finally found a forever home! 👍

[@Sinisteve]

Looks awesome Russ, a nice cab with a trisync monitor, fuck rotating it though, just get another one to leave horizontal😉 Blast City would’ve been mid 90s

[@caprilaser3]

Happy new year Russ. Great new addition! Your going to have plenty of fun with that 🕹👍🏼 Give it 6months and cab number two will be in the conservacade 😜

[@GRUSSNewton]

RetroDave Nintendo cheers Dave! I’ve got my eye on something else but it’s not strictly a cab 🤔😛

[@markhorsburgh]

Great to see one of Japanarama's projects has made it back to gaming glory mate. Looks a fantastic cab. I'd never heard of those Brook pcb things. I was planning on doing a pad hack for my 360 but those look much easier. Those walls look nice in that room too.

[@GRUSSNewton]

markhorsburgh aye up mark, walls look nice for more cabs maybe? 😀

[@tootyuk]

Thing of beauty that Russ! nice bloke that Beeps ;)

[@GRUSSNewton]

TootyUk beeps came through once again!

[@AndyHugRetro]

Congratulations Russ! Absolutely loved my Blast City when I had it, superb cabs. Enjoy mate and happy New Year

[@GRUSSNewton]

8-BIT ANDY cheers Andy! Can’t bear the experience of playing on a proper cab!

[@electricadventures]

Happy New Year, awesome pickup, the truly best way to play some of the Japanese shooters. They are a bit harder to come by in my neck of the woods, but has been on my "if it pops up at the right time list" for a while. Good idea having the Pi to Jamma in there and a 360. They are beasts to move, I have to be careful with my back moving any of the cabs. I don't have a spot for one, at the moment, but would happily move things around/make room if I came across one. Yeah definitely nothing like playing Dodonpachi on a setup like that!

[@GRUSSNewton]

electricadventures happy new year to you Tony as well, yeah certainly the best way to play donpachi on the cab.. very immersive! Thanks for watching

[@onaretrotip]

Awesome, Russ! Very jealous.

[@GRUSSNewton]

onaretrotip cheers Pete pet 👍

[@StRoRo]

Very nice. I've had to pack all my stuff away so the office can be changed to a bedroom. I'm very jealous.

[@GRUSSNewton]

StuRoRo oh man 😫 you going full handheld then?

[@StRoRo]

No, just stopping all together for now until we get more room either move house or convert the garage. But converting the garage means getting rid of my pride and joy, and other hobby or my "weekend car".

[@Retro2futuregaming]

Nice one mate, seen this from Galaxy Sega. Wish I had room for a arcade cab. Happy new year mate.

[@GRUSSNewton]

Retro2futuregaming happy new year and thanks for watching, I’m sure there’s room somewhere? 👍

[@A3rgan]

That is fantastic - a very happy new year to you Russ!

[@GRUSSNewton]

Simon Lock cheers Simon, you too mate and thanks for watching

[@corinful]

Hi friend Any ideas where I could find one of these? I'm in the Uk

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Nice one - tried your MVS in there yet?

[@GRUSSNewton]

Kaylied Gamer sold it a bit back mate!

[@jfroco]

Great cabinet. Any noticeable lag?

[@Beaps73]

The brook fighter produces zero lag and the monitor is connected via direct vga so if there was any lag, I doubt there would be
