Bummer about the CRT.  :angry:

As far as the coin doors go, I was kind of looking for the 2 slot ones, I think. Would you be willing to let one go? Any pics??

Thanks again.

good work! i'm sure most of the bits you've saved will be made useful by someone somewhere down the track. would have made tragic landfill...

Shoot!! I wish I would have read this thread this weekend! (Except my motherboard fried, so I couldn't read it anyway, but that's another story!)

I'm only an hour away, but this week is swamped. I seriously hope they aren't just gonna take all those to the landfill. What a waste. I'm sure most of us here would take those things off their hands, but we didn't know about it till it was too late.

I could go by and ask them _when_..  ::) Seriously, if I drag-and-tarp the midways, for instance, will you folks come by and get them quickly? Or will I end up making that youtube video I warned about earleir?

Kayoteq, I applaud you for sharing. It still blows my mind how friendly everyone is in this hobby.

Seeing operators toss old cabs isn't that surprising. They're bulky, heavy, and really not worth much once they're stripped down. In my experience, though, they seem to be either trashed Dynamo cabs or classic cabs that have had one too many bad conversions. Many operators are still in it for the money, and some have a delusional idea of what classic cabs are worth. I bought my Primal Rage cab from an op for $100 w/ a working 25" monitor, but they wouldn't take less than $150 for a converted DK cab without a monitor.

I wish I lived closer. Then again, I should probably count my blessings since I have 5 freebie "project cabs" at the moment already (3 of 5 are dynamos). Most came with monitor tubes but no chassis. This seems to be pretty common from what I've seen.

BTW, doesn't a Galaga CP fit onto a Ms Pac cabinet?
