    sweet, an electrocoin deut, when it rains it pours! check out this thread, one was recently purchased by a forum member.

    Your one isnt in great condition to be fair, without a game in it maybe 400\500 quid? if the monitor is working.

    Another one :eek: nice find!

    Is that in a countryside pub or something?

    Value will depend a lot on the state of the monitor.

    These Duets are like buses...

    You can get a replica control panel overlay here to get the cab in better condition:
    https://www.arcadeartshop.com/product/electrocoin-duet-cpo/

    I paid €600 for the same cab in excellent condition with no screen issues (no "burn") with a street fighter game plus around another €200 in total for delivery from UK.

    A little update lads and ladies. I'll be able to check this over tomorrow evening to see if the hardware is working.

    Ideally I'd like to sell it to someone who would restore it etc. Rather than put it on adverts for the world to annoy me is there a thread here for selling this sort of stuff?

    Ok, here's the good and bad.

    The cab is in far better condition than initially thought. Looks like the PSU is gone and there's no keys to open it but these are easily popped.

    I've been told it was in storage for the last few decades. Still has 10p in the slot and we've no idea what game is on it !! :)

    My bet is on a Street Fighter 2 board or a Neo Geo 1 slot.

    Ahhh no way to crack her open and see no? :D

    There's really a huge varience in what you might see.

    CPS1 street fighter boards can have a label on them alright. Neo Geo boards have a cartridge in them with the game on it, they have a label.

    However, it might have a Bootleg game (which wouldn't be labelled) or might have another game that's legit but has no label.

    If you can get a photo of the game we should be able to identify it. Unless it's something really obscure! :D

    You can see another interesting solution to getting it through a standard door was used on this to cut the base and control panel pieces completely off and bolt them back on. Good idea. Makes it easy to transport. Just make sure the cut and re-attached bottom piece with the castors is securely bolted back in as it would easily topple over and crush you if they are not secure.

    PSU is a standard Jamma PSU attached to a custom Electrocoin connector metal piece. Just drop in a new PSU.


    Monitor is a Hantarex Polo 28 (1st model) so quite old but common enough for replacement parts / repairs.


    The game board is accessed from the front bottom section. Open the 2x locks to the left and right of the coin return slot and it folds out to reveal the game board at the bottom.

    Does the bench lift off without cutting ? I noticed yours came in two parts on the pallet.

    Normally the seat/bench section lifts off but your one was slightly modified so the bench is now bolted in to the main cab.

    The cab is too big to fit through a standard door so your one has been modified to cut the control panel piece and the protruding part of the base off then it's all bolted back on. It makes it easy now to bring it through a standard door sideways.

    If you look under the bottom of the control panel you can open a hidden section (with a key...) and then put your hand in to pop the levers to the front and sides holding the top of the control panel in place. Then with the top of the control panel off I would guess you can take off your custom bolts to remote the entire control panel section.

    Then for the base I would again say you can get under it to take out the custom bolts to remove the entire base section.

    Can you take a pic of the board if you can see the PSU is gone? or is the back locked as well as the front?

    We should take bets on what is in there.. has to be Street Fighter 2. I remember playing football champ in one before as well years ago, but the control panel has six buttons on it so odds are its SF

    Yeah the six button setup suggests a capcom fighter is a good bet. I’m going with a bootleg CE
