"off to good use easily" is a statement made by somebody who doesn't know enough to know that they don't know what they are talking about (and didn't bother to read even this thread). For those who don't realize it, the footage was shot for inclusion in an infomercial that TNT runs on local TV promoting their business. How many of you can say you have a company local to you that operates, let alone gives stuff away like Todd has? I thought so. For those who would call them pieces of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, how many cabinets have you either saved or given away? Yeah, that's what I thought. ::) |

I can understand people being upset at this - I was, but these people tend to be more like me with a low post count, and no doubt they are (like me) struggling to get to grips with their own builds. If only I had an empty shell of a cab to build on it would have saved me a lot of headaches. The people who are indifferent have higher post count and may have their own builds - or even several. I wonder if they have ever posted on here to offer "10 free cabs" - and I also wonder what the reaction would have been. I might even have been tempted to look into how the hell to get them to the UK! I think these guys MUST have know the reaction their demolition would have, or they wouldn't have done it by throwing them off a building, filming it and posted it on YouTube. I have an irrational fear that classic cabs are getting rarer and rarer, and this feels like how a record collector might feel watching someone smashing vinyl. Don't know if this has done the rounds - and I wouldn't be surprised if its been here and elsewhere either! |

I just shipped a rotor housing out for cost of shipping so the guy can make a fish tank out of it. I would never take something some one could use and scrap it. The same could be done with arcade cabinets. If he said that he had them listed for sale or for even free, and no one would take them, so let's toss them off a roof, things would be different. |
