Author Topic: FREE!! Space Encounters Cabinet: FLORIDA Pic included (Read 2042 times)

I have a FREE,complete Space Encounters Cabinet. The monitor and sound works, but there seems to be a problem with the main board,because I cannot see the game on the screen ( I get a bunch of squiggly lines ) I have many extra CPU,sound, etc boards. I think I have 4 of each kind. The cabinet is in nice shape for a game from 1979, It is all original and the only thing missing is the interior coin door mech. It has a cool star wars type steering yolk with a fire button on the right side. I picked this up for free,and unfortunately I am unable to devote the time to restore/MAME it. I am in south east FLORIDA,and it is for pick up only. I will not be able to ship this item. If you make all the arrangements for pick up/delivery, I will make sure I am home to assist in loading the cab. I am not able to crate it. This could be a great find for the right person,what have you got to lose? Thanks

I will leave this post up for 2 weeks, if I cannot find an interested party , I will sadly have to dispose of the machine as I am unable to store it any longer.

did you try the newsgroups? would be a shame if this had to go to a landfill--or curb it with a big FREE sign on it--it will get picked up...

Someone... please take this. I would come get it myself if it weren't a thousand miles away. I would pay to have it shipped to me if he were willing.

Could you post a pic of the actual cab? Are you SURE you can't help with shipping?

Where in Florida exactly? Maybe I can come get it.

Hmmm, may be a little too far for me

That would be a whole day affair basically and I don't think I will be able to do it any time soon. I give up dibs.

If you can't get rid of it, at least give it to a thrift store rather than to the landfill.

old school gamer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2005, 09:36:43 pm »

RayB... I will make sure to try and find a good home for it,If I cant find it a home,it will be donated to a local store. At least I will be able to sleep at night knowing I tried to find a home for it. I would not feel right throwing it in the garbage.
