If no one gets in a bidding war with you, then it is going to be a cheap and easy spinner cabinet. The boardset alone might resell for more than you paid for the cabinet (assuming you don't repair it). Those B&W monitors sell quite easily too.

I'm not sure what I would do with it.  It's pretty snazzy.  There are a few games I'm watching on eBay right now.  If I get them all (which I doubt) I'm going to need a storage area.  I'm out of room here @ the apartment.

Looks like a good mameable cab. Or with all those balloons on the cab you could make a king and balloon.

I'm not sure I would MAME this.  I think I would try to fix it first.  I played it last night, it's pretty fun.

That's a very nice opinion.

It's a moot point, really.  I just emailed the guy, and the cabinet is 170 miles away.  Not far, really, but it would irk the wife a bit for me to go away for another day for another 'coffin.'

That's a shame. It's a neat looking cab.

The guy emailed back and said he would meet me in Albany with the cabinet for $20 in gas money.  Not a bad deal!  But I would still have to find a place to put it.  I've got three cabs in my two bedroom now, and I'm working on getting two of them out the door.
