Title: Picked up a Silver Strike Bowling cabinet
Post by: Brian74 on October 25, 2013, 12:21:55 pm
When I was at my local operator's shop picking up my 2nd sega model 3 cab, I noticed he had a bunch of goldentee and silver strike cabs. I asked him how much. Like normal he had to check, and would get back to me. Well, yesterday I stopped by, he told me 25$ each. So I looked threw to find the best one. The one I got didn't have a monitor, but everything else was. Including mechs and computer. Got it home, checked it out. Hooked up a pc monitor, started it up. I was pretty happy when I saw the game load. I picked up a Samsung flat screen crt while back. Decases it, bolted it to the frame and got it mounted. I think the picture is pretty good. Cant beat getting a cab for 25$ that works. Have 3 more cabs to get. Area 51 maxforce, buck hunter and a road blaster.

Congrats I'm jealous!  A working cab that appears to be in good condition for only $25!

geez, that game still brings pretty decent money at auction.
It was a steal for $25.

Where are you getting these cabs from again?  ;)

A few nicks and dings, appears that it was sitting in water. The bottom is a little swelled, reminisce of dirt and mud in the cab. Lucky it wasn't any higher and didnt get the pc or I/O board.

I was thinking, he has that bag toss and golden tee cabs. Could I run all three in the same cab? Also thinking, if I can get my hands on that arcade legends cp art, I might add my mame pc too. Be nice to play games at there native resolution.

Hi Brian, that sounds like a killer deal, any more like that left? I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing for the past week or so. I just made first purchase of a recapped WG 9200 tonight from Chris in Oakdale, it looks perfect.  Might wait for some other nice cabinet (NFL blitz type) to pop up, unless I can figure out how much it would to make runs both GT and Mame smoothly.

Nice man! Same cabinet I got, but I paid $60 for mine and it was missing the CP, and all the front kickplate hardware. You got a hell of a deal. Let me know if you decide to to the mame route, I have the same CP with the photoshop all measured out ready to go for artwork and hardware placement.
