There are numerous posts of that cab on eBay from that guy. I don't think its ever been sold, not for what he charges for it. I think its been decided that he uses that auction as an attention grabber in order to promote his other auctions.
Yes, I think the cab is dumb so don't get me wrong.

It has cult-like status over on the KLOV forum.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yea I did a search and saw a post from 2 years ago. it's probably photoshoped or something...
P.S.-Well now that I looked at his other items, no doubt it is real. :) I want the shark!
-
I thought someone bought that thing a while back!

Does it vibrate if you put credits in!!!!!! If not then that coin door better be a beer dispenser!!!! :cheers:

At least theres something to salvage.
At least he didnt do this:

Here we go again ... Xousche chooses to rag on someone who is good for the hobby.
Todd has saved, and given away, more cabs than everybody here put together.
And, really, what is there to salvage in that chair ?
Star Wars cabs outnumber the salvageable parts by a huge margin.
-
I've got no idea who "Todd" is. People rag on cabs for a lot less.
I just thought every one who never saw it might want to take a look at it. If they own it they can do whatever they choose to do with it AFAIK.

Probably just the Marquee.

Sorry -- Todd is the owner of a company (TNT Amusements) who, on occasion, throw old arcade and pin cabs off of the roof as part of a television show that they do. He has given away more cabs than anybody I can think of and is a good guy.
People, like Xousche, often ---smurfette--- about them (and link to the videos) without any understanding about who they are, what they are doing and what they have done for folks like us.
I don't know anything about the guy who did the SW chair, so feel free to unload upon him. If I did the same, Xousche would certainly have something to say.

I didnt realize that tossing valuable parts off a building was good for a collector hobby. In that case, I guess I and the rest of us here, should start dropping machines off buildings too?

And yet he cant find anyone to take these machines off his hands? Doesnt make sense to me.

Ask a person making a replica how much is still left. The cab is mostly structurally intact, and could easily be used for an emulator controlled cabinet.
Sideart, Marquee, and other hardware. Its far better than a pile off wood sitting in dumpster like what Todd has shown in his video.
Star Wars cabs outnumber the salvageable parts by a huge margin.
Starwars cabinets are rare compared to the sheer number of people who would love to own them, by a huge margin.
Ironic that someone partially trashes a SW cab, gets more flack for someone completely destroying a room full of machines on purpose. ::)

Hey anyone who give away cabs instead of stock piling them in a warehouse till they can't afford to pay rent and then they end up getting tossed is ok by me:)
What kind of TV show is it??

Honestly, it's the phone that sells me. If they converted the bottom seat into a toilet, tell me, who among us would NOT buy it?! TELL ME!
