Just picked this up. He came down to $200. It was damaged in shipping. They pulled the CPU but includes the cab, monitor (20 inch) and the other stuff shown. It has some particle board damage that I need to fix. Any suggestions on the best ways to repair? For the most part the art is in good shape. Just needs a cpu and it is ready to go.

Yeah, I'd say that's worth $200 if all you have to do is add a computer. :cheers:

Agreed. $200 is good. Any idea what make/model the sticks/buttons/T-ball are?
Also, am I seeing it wrong or is there no inside floor to the cab?

Ya, the floor and the back were removed but included. They are all solid. Looks like the corners and the front t-molding will be the hardest to fix. Luckily all of the bad pieces were included so I'm thinking injecting some glue with a lot of clamping should get it back. Not sure on the sticks and buttons yet. Checked the website that made it and they go for $3500 like he said. The computer is the least of my cost. this included marquee lights, speaker and the usb to PC button encoder. Might have to start checking these railroad salvage companies out. After talking to him he has a small warehouse full of things he buys at a fraction of the cost and sells on ebay and via the internet. He bought this with intention of fixing it himself but did not have the know how. Not sure what he paid for it.

Bust out a black paint marker and you're good to go.

Heres some updated pictures of the repair job. Turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. Luckily the particle board breaks were pretty straight. I use a 5 inch board on each bottom to tighten the base up and make it sturdy and to give a backer board to the repair wood. Working on the PC now.
Was curious about the coin door. Does anyone use one and if so how is it used? I noticed this one is wired up. Does it give credits when you insert a quarter or when you push the change return button?
