Star Wars - Should I do It?
meany:
Buy it. You couldn't build that for $130. You'll figure out the details after you get the cab. You should keep it as a 25". Do not gut your stand up, just find parts for the cab.
ChadTower:
I'd pay $130 for that and spend the rest of the weekend staring at it in shock and awe. $130 for a really nice grail cabinet, with the tube and with the very expensive yoke, is almost grand theft. Part with a couple other games if you need the space. This is the difference between a nice gameroom and a holy eff gameroom.

The only question left is where in the world do you plan on putting this thing? You have ZERO room left!

THAT, my friend, is the problem. I figure since I will be losing the SW upright I will then have to compensate for 2 additional cabs. So basically I lose 2 cabs to this thing... maybe!
I have an idea on how to arrange the room where it will take up only the same "space" as the upright + space that is currently open space. The room will be a little more cramped, but it should work.
I am about 80% there... ;D
EDIT: Wife not happy... but not a deal breaker kind of not happy...
I just shot the guy out an email.

Go Frizz !
You won't regret it. Playing SW in a cockpit is 10 times more fun then the upright.
Yes that looks like an Amplifone tube. I regularly see all needed parts (deflection board and HV board) on the bay. Definitely stick with the Amplifone ! Not only does it look better, it's SO much more easy to repair and get stable.
The only expensive thing missing is the board-set. Those are not very easy to get and at least 200 bucks.
The yoke seems to have a wrong sticker on the cover.
