Free?: 2 (possibly) Abandoned cockpit cabs [East Haven, CT]
nipsmg:
Not 100% positive about this one, but...
In East Haven, CT on Coe Avenue, about 1/2 mile from the water, there are 2 cockpit/sit down cabinets that are out on the curb. They've been there for 3 days.
1 Space Tactics full cockpit. Controls are still in it. Not sure if there's a monitor. Looks to be in really good condition.
1 Sega Touring F1 Sit down cabinet, controls still intact. Decals look like crap but cabinet looks in great shape besides that.
This guy also has one sitting on his porch that I saw him working on the first day I drove by and spotted them.
I'm not 100% sure these are trash, but I can't imagine someone leaving them out on the sidewalk for 4 days if he intended to keep them.
Every other time I've driven by he's either not been home, or it's been far too late to go knocking.
I live in a 1BR apartment now so I have no room for them, but I figured if someone in the area wanted to go check them out and ask, here's the heads up.

Damn, wish I was closer. I have a Space Tactics cab, and could use a couple of parts off it. 3 hour drive one way isn't worth it. I'm probably better off, since I really should just buy new t-molding, and hopefully Novus works as good as people say to clean up all the scratches in the plexi that makes up the "viewscreen."

Hmmm...
I'll be in East Haven this afternoon (live in Branford), and I just happen to be driving my pickup truck today... sounds like a sign from some higher power.
Speaking of higher powers, I'd have to clear this with the wife as well....
If I can catch the owner at home I'll stop and ask if they're available.
Does East Haven have bulk trash pickup? That's the only reason I can imagine for leaving them at the curb.

Don't forget to get some pictures and post!

Wow, if that SEGA cab is what I think it is, I'd kill to have one of those to build a driving rig out of!
