Couldn't resist it on CL. Monitor doesn't power on but everything else is working, the guy was asking $300, I offered $250  :cheers:

I pretty much had a nerdgasm when I saw what else he was selling...

But the prices were strong on all the other fully functioning cabs

If the Star Wars worked and was in good shape, I'd have bitten on that!

I loved Paperboy back in the day. Good purchase!

Here we go.  I bought my first pinball machine in the middle of working on my mame rig and the distraction added about 9 months to the build.  Now, am restoring a pinball and I bought Tommy (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,121795.0.html) during the work- totally killed my momentum. 

$5 on 3 months as the over under for a finished, playing cab with cp - I'll take OVER.   :cheers:  It's all part of the fun - variety is the spice of life.

Paperboy has the same recessed footplate design as your cab.  That design appeals to you.  I like it too and If I ever do a gun cab, I would do that and have the holsters hang on the side of the center column.

I was thinking that too looking at it, I guess it must have been embedded in my subconscious all these years because Paperboy was such a favorite of mine.

Here's a few more shots of the cab, it's really in great condition, no water damage or grime...

Nice pickup!  That Moon Patrol looks pretty nice as well.

Man, I'd have been all over both of those.

Just curious (I'm on the other coast, no chance of actually buying any of these) what did he want for the Gorf?
