WTB Boot Hill Cabinet

[mahuti]

Wanted to Buy: Boot Hill dedicated cabinet. Working ideally, but interested in any condition.

I'm in St. Louis, but willing to drive all over hither-and-yon to pick one up.

Still looking. Anyone have any suggestions on other sites that I should post this request to?

Boot hill he says, ya you and the rest of the world, Lol...Secretly Jenn did some work on one once upon a time, and (dont quote me on this) but if memory serves the Sea Wolf pcb is the same thing, That may get you a little closer.

you and the rest of the world,

Ha. I had no idea it is sought after. In the past (a long time ago), before I had enough cash to even consider buying a cab, I'd seen a handful floating around for a low cost compared to other machines at the time.

Although I know I'd played other games at the time, it's the second machine I can remember playing when I was a kid. I used to play it against my mom at the laundromat. She'd laugh and laugh at how she just could not figure the thing out and I'd just take her out over and over.

Anyway, if it's that hard to find, I guess I'll settle for building a custom controller to mimic the original as well as I can. Now I just gotta come up with a plan for hacking some off-the-shelf junk I guess.

Thanks for the heads up.

Whoa, hold the phone...I am not trying to discourage your search, just saying it might be a tricky game to find and potentially not cheap when you do, It is a early Midway which makes it quite collectable in certian circles...Most people I would imagine probibally have never even heard of that machine much less seen one...Again SeaWolf was the same platform, (food for thought).😉

Oh, I won't stop looking for it, and I don't mind dropping the $$$ if I ever find it. But meantime I'll still probably look for an alternative 

Do you know of any other websites that would be a good place to post this? I used to post on some other arcade boards back in the early 2000s, but I don't remember the better ones out of the many that exist for finding cabinet collectors and sellers.

As for sea wolf, that game itself was really cool (I thought) but I rarely got to play it because I was too short when it was still in the arcades. Too bad I'm not looking for one of those right now... https://www.vintagearcade.net/shop/arcade-games/sea-wolf-arcade-game/

I'm no help, just want to say: Boot Hill stands out in my brain. The very first time I bravely entered an arcade as a 9 year old kid I was in sheer awe, the events of the next few minutes indelibly imprinted on my life for all time. I anxiously watched a group of teens huddled around a brand new thing called Space Invaders before moving off to a quieter, less intimidating section of the arcade. I looked past a row of lonely pinball tables, that's where I spotted it. The game into which I would drop my VERY FIRST EVER arcade quarter.
