Your in a perfect location for cabs. Drmoonsparkle on ebay always has mame-able cabs for sale. Check ebay, search for detroit only. He should have some auctions. If none suit you, email him.
cabs are routinely $10... stripped

I'll second Drmoonsparkle.

I've bought two cabs from him and I'm very happy with my experiences with him. Very nice guy. Best sourse for parts in the area IMO.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I work in Bowling green....

Where about in SE MI?

Bowling Green is about 40-45min from the OH/MI border on Interstate 75.

From what I have seen, he has a lot of stuff that I'd make a drive for.

If Grand Rapids, MI is close enough, I have an old Pac Man cab.  The sides have been painted black, and there is water damage near the bottom on one side.  Still has tmolding and coin door.  I've got $20 into it.  Yours for $20.

How bad is the water damage?  Am I gonna have to do some serious repair work or just a little reinforcing and some patch\paint?

Either way, im very interested.  PM me your address so i can mapquest it to see how long it would take to get there

Thanks

Hoagie - The Grand Champion I have came from Mark, but I also have several other cabs now made available. A Birdie King 2, and a couple classic style cabs that have been converted. I think they are Williams esque. All in decent condition i.e. no water damage or major work to be done. If you're interested let me know.

Heres a couple pictures so you can get an idea. Sorry to be so late with getting pics, but kinda had some emergencies to take care of first.
