What would you pay for this Simpsons Bowling?? Big CP!!!
« on: October 25, 2007, 05:38:58 pm »
I have been eyeing this cab.  it's super local for me. (no hour long drive is a plus)

http://www.klov.com/images/10/1053524342.jpg

The owner said she just paid to put a new monitor in but that the PCB has a bad color chip (rom?)  I am thinking that this would be a really cool Mame cab...It already has the trackball, it's jamma and has a new CRT. and just lool at that nice Big CP.

So is $400 too much? I'm not heartset and don't realy have the cash ATM. The seller pretty mutch just wants to recoup some of the $$$ from the new monitor.

What is fair?  How likely is it that I could fix the PCB?  Or should I throw a Golden tee in there?

u know u want it, just buy it :).

low ball it if you're broke.  it's non-running, therefore a liability to the owner.  they may be glad just to have someone come and haul the heavy fkr off.

So I told them that I could do $200 and probably not get thrown out by the wife... ;D

Id buy a simpsons bowling for $400. Its a nice trackball setup for one, 2 its a 25" cab, 3, if you want to mame it the CP is so large you can easily pop 2 sticks with 6 buttons each on each side of the trackball.

Nice layout for a cab if you ask me

I think it's a converted Simpsons 4 player game.  I have the same cab, but it's converted to a SF layout.
