Title: Hi from Melbourne, Australia
Post by: Pelly22 on October 26, 2015, 09:09:25 pm
Hi there.

Lately I have been getting into a bunch of the Nintendo stuff. I bought a few Unisystem boards off KLOV members recently and am also looking to do a scratch build of an R-Type cabinet soon. Unfortunately we were not so lucky in Australia and none of the Nintendo cabs were ever imported here back in the day and local companies just built generic cabs to stick the boards in. After importing an original DK cab a few years back I have caught the bug and want more :)

Anyway, because of John's love of Nintendo cabs I have watched a few videos and thought this would be a good forum to join :D

Thanks

Yeah, there was basically no original stuff here really. The stuff that did look kinda original was built by Leisure and Allied Industries (LAI) here. The only original stuff that made it here was imported directly from Japan. Nothing from the states.
