Title: WTB: gutted/non working Nintendo Vs. "red tent" cocktail [US/IL/Chicago]
Post by: The Habbler on March 09, 2012, 12:13:05 am
Would like to find a non-working Nintendo Vs "red tent". I would like to bump each player up to 3 buttons and MAME one of these, but would never dream of defacing a working version. Don't need any innards, just the "shell." Dream is to have a Chicago Bulls themed red tent running NBA Jam 4 player version.

Hey, I was here first...   ;D

Would love to acquire one of these for a future project... anybody need to offload one? Don't need any innards, just the "shell."

Well I know two guys in the Chicago area who will take them off his hands... can you convince him to deliver?  ;D

BTW, Habbler, hope you track one down, sounds like a cool project! I've since given up my search, but they are neat cabinets.

Unless HaRuMaN is going to pull the trigger and buy these, you could always ask. I think the guy's name is Rich. I bought my first gutted cab off him two years ago, if it's the guy I'm thinking it is:

Thanks thefearsomefearful. I saw your post from last year and figured it couldn't hurt to ask one year later.  ;D

I want to ask all the old pizza huts around here what they did with them. Would be crazy to find one sitting in a basement.

I care not about the red tents... I'm more interested in the Blast City.  ;D

If I had room, I'd consider the Gorf.

Love mine! Also the ONLY game I have that the old lady refuses to let me sell.
