More Star Wars cabs than monitors and yokes to go around, at least he did something with it other than torching it.

The he is calling the phone a slimline because that is what that model is called, it is an AT&T slimline. Chances are this thing was probably put together a long time ago, or else the phone wouldn't be there.

As much as people make fun of this thing, more than one collector I have talked to in real life said they would buy it if the price dropped low enough.

I have a gutted Space Invaders Deluxe that I am probably going to do the exact same thing with, except without the phone.

I thought it was established that this is just a marketing tool for the guy? To get attention so he can sell his other cabs...

I do believe if he lowered the price to $300 it would sell in a week.

My wife is quite excited about our Space Invaders Deluxe chair project, and is even willing to rearrange the living room to get it in.

Why does that idea remind me of this clip?

It would really make a cool chair for a game room.
It's just the phone that really throws it off....
