Title: Wanted Old Cabs (Michigan)
Post by: cobracon on October 19, 2004, 12:01:15 am
If anyone in Michigan has any old empty or semi-empty cabs they need to get rid of, I'm looking. I need some old cabs for restore or mame. I just started getting arcade machines and I'm hooked. Looking for my next project. :)

I've got one in the Grand Rapids area.  It's a former Stern Astro Invader converted to Mr Do.  Email me if you are interested.

Thanks,

I am in Ohio.  I have a cab that I would like to get rid of.  It is in decent shape.  Totally empty.  Was converted to a MK2 but you would never know that since it is stripped out.  Cab is all black.  I can include the coin doors  and all the hardware for the coin doors for 25$.  So if you want the cab and coin door, etc, $25 total.  I can not ship.  Let me know.  I almost forgot, this cab is set for a 19 inch monitor.

Hey blacktiger... I just started working at LexisNexis in Dayton a few months ago...  

I might be interested in it if it doesn't look hes driving this far...   I have an extra 19" monitor not being used and a dreamcast set for it.  

good to see a few in the gang in the area!

Lilwolf,

Yes it is nice to see another person from the area.  Good luck on the new job.  If your interested in the cab, let me know.  It is completly stripped minus the coin door.  I would like to get rid of it cause I am getting more games in this weekend and I am trying not to get any more project games.  it is just taking way to much of my time.


I also have a Defender cab that has been painted over but the origional art is still under there.  It has a marquee and bezel and coin door.  The coin door is not the chrome one.  It is a black one.  In addition I have a spare coin door for parts for the defender cab.  it is just bent up good but there are parts that can be used.  It also has the wooden panel on it that the pcb's go on.  For everything I am thinking 50$

Finally, I have an orange Nintendo cab that is in pretty nice shape.  Has a couple scratches/chips but quite nice.  My wife did not like the orange cab in the house and when one of my monitors went bad in my rolling thunder cab, well the nintendo cab monitor found a new home.  The nintendo cab was converted to jamma.  I am thinking of making it my test cab if I can get another monitor but if someone wants it, we can make a deal for either the cab and jamma stuff or just the cab.  

Other than that, oops, I forot one more project I have.  There is a DK cocktail that I have.  It is in great shape but when I moved the boards were not secure in the cab and they broke beyond a local techs ability so I either need to sell this cab or buy a 4 board set.  the monitor has virtually no screen burn and has very few plays for its age.  the previous owner tuckd it away in the late 80's when people stopped playing it.  He was selling his ownership in the pool hall and had to get rid of his stuff.  I bought a bunch of games but then again, most were tucked away and did not see much play past the late 80's

Let me know if there is intrest here.

Thanks

Mike
