probably 


but thats some shody workmanship.


look at the pick of the control panel open.  look at that beveled cut that would meet up with the monitor glass.  its all wobly.  thumbs down

It looks like a conversion of a lazer-tron VRS cabinet.

I'm afraid you will get the same reply from everyone at these boards.  Since most people here will look at the cabinet's worth by how much it would cost them to build it.

The controls look like they may have been ripped from a hotrod, so add $99 to about $65 for the wood, plus a couple hundred for the monitor.  Add some other odds and ends (Ipac, plexi, screws, etc) and you dont come close to $1500.

Ask anyone else, and they may think it is a good deal, but around here, most people have either built a cab, or are willing to.

I don't think $1500 is a good deal on that machine.   Especially when you read: "INCLUDES EVERYTHING BUT COMPUTER".  If you broke it down into the parts, you would probably have a hard time getting $400 for everything there.  Then you have to ask yourself, would I pay $1100 to have someone put a monitor and some controls in an arcade cabinet?   

The setup is pretty basic.. it's probably a good machine for fighting games if that's your thing.  If you want a setup like this one, you would be much better off buying a working street fighter II (or any old jamma fighter machine) and tossing in a Jpac from Ultimarc.  More bang for your buck and you'll have a jamma compatible cabinet to boot.

Good luck,

I think it's a typo. Perhaps $150?

 

Seriously, though, not worth it. Forget for a second the poor design of the control panel, there's no computer, so you will be doing a good amount of work just to get it running, and incurring an addtional expense for the computer parts. If you were dead set on getting this, I would offer $750 max, since it comes with a monitor, and Ipac. If you do get it, at least rip out that control panel and do it right!
