Ordered from him a year or so back. Very helpful. Shipped to here in the UK. No problems.

^^^ what he said
Sarver Systems:
If we ordered more from him, he'd have more room, and wouldn't burn so many cabinets?
Wishful thinking maybe?
Where is he located?

Yeah same here. I'm thinking about flying to Orlando (they are somewhere around there) with my wife, visting her parents who live there, rent a one way SUV and drive my new empty Punch-Out cab back to Ohio. Not sure if that will happen though.

Despite them having to burn cabinets to get rid of them I rather like the boneyard. The way I look at it is kind of a more humane version of a pound. Sometimes if the empty cabs don't get sold they are put to rest. The good thing here is there is no life within those bodies that are being put down. No one wants to see a dog or a cat put down because of the neglect or inability for a person to care for the animal anymore... The same goes for cabs. Any true arcade aficionado, wants to save all the cab so that it may be fixed up and be in someone's life forever.
The sad part of this story is it just cannot happen. Someone will buy a cab and realize they bit off more than they can chew and they leave the thing to rot away in a damp basement, and realize they need to finally give it up to see if someone else can care for it. When that cab is not adopted (before or after it's gutted) it's sent to the burn heap.
