closing down my shop. you name it .. we got it. video games, pinballs,
pool tables, air hockey, sticker machines, coin changers and parts too many
to list. here's your big chance to get a machine for the house or maybe some
part you have been looking for. price's lower than we have ever sold before.
call today. jim at 916-257-3748 or debbie at 916-257-3749. i am talking about
a whole shop of games plus (2) 48 foot trailers full of good stuff. call now!

I'd be hopping all over this myself, but this couldn't come at the most inconvenient time for me (baby is due tomorrow). So if I can't take advantage of it, maybe someone else can.

I've got a pickup truck myself. If anyone needs help hauling, maybe we can work something out.

Wait a minute.  He said he had a truck and would help haul.  Ask him how far he'd be willing to go. :)

That wasn't lost.  I'd have no problem handling the deal if the other parties were willing to fork up their shares of cash and someone else arranged for vehicle(s).  The one thing I don't have is a truck so that is a good arrangement.

Oh, you're not kidding? Shame on me :-[

I'm not really sure how one could work something out to take a truck all the way from California to Rhode Island. I own a Tacoma, and even with the tow ball, I don't know if I can pack enough cabinets to justify a trip at such distance. Worse, I'm getting a package tomorrow and I couldn't take a lot of time off to do the trip anyways. :(

I think, however, that I can help make arrangements on this side of the coast for the shipping, but I doubt it's anything anybody couldn't do through the company. I think I still have a couple of pallets and plastic wrap left over so I think I can help reduce costs there. If I don't have the pallets, I think I can filch some from work here.

I can also pick up smaller things (ie PCB's) and have them shipped off to wherever. As long as the person pays for the shipping costs of course and kicks a little something back.

Oh, no, I mean that's way way too far... I was just saying that was understood your preoccupation at the moment.  The baby takes precedence.

That's an understatement.

He has been selling stuff off for a long long time.  He is who I got my cabs from.  He has a lot of project cabs, and parts all over the place.  If you want projects, then id say hit him up...  If you were looking for more complete cabs, look elsewhere.

How much were your project cabs, if you do not mind me asking?

...Unless I want it for myself!  >:D

I paid $300 delivered.  Got a Showcase cab that was gutted, a dedicated Virtua Fighter 3 50" megalo cab that was not working, and a Sega Naomi US style World Series Baseball cab that was not working.....

On the upside, I was able to get both the VF3 cab monitor and game up and running.  And, got the monitor for the Sega Naomi cab working (there were no parts left inside...monitor only).  And, the monitor for the Sega cab is a Tri-sync with minimal burn-in.

Thats fairly cheap and good price then. I called and they are supposed to call me back and let me know the price of some stuff, they just have to check it.
