It's hard for me believe that someone would buy a cabinet and not immediately open it up and have a look around.
I mean, he may not have time to restore it, but c'mon,,, he didnt even know what was inside it. (Had to wait for daylight to answer the question).
I think someone gave it to him and he's trying to make a buck before he sc's it.
But thats ok I guess.

Brent, you should really put up a "Heavencade" as well to compensate a bit for all this horror.

Only carefully restored originals belong in Heavencade IMHO :P
NO Mame.
NO conversion.

whats worse is that i get the feeling it has sat in that exact position outside since he had it...

Whatever this thing used to be (possibly a SF2 CE), it's a monstrosity now.

I have the same type of cabinet at home.  Right now it's a Capcom Bowling, but I know for a fact that it was something else originally.  I have heard that may be a generic JAMMA cabinet.

Friend of mine hauled off a Scramble he found under a stairwell.  It was in worse shape, pieces falling off the cabinet as he loaded it up.

He took it home, and just for grins, plugged it in.  IT WORKED.  Somewhere I've got a pic of this collapsing cabinet with Scamble playing on the monitor.  :)

Poor poor Missile Command, though.



Please send me these pics if you can find them!

Thanks,

Brent
