Title: I'll buy you a cab if you live near Pittsburgh, PA!
Post by: Kremmit on January 31, 2005, 12:19:54 am: I'd love to buy this: Victory (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13716&item=6149533601&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

But the shipping to California would kill me. I'm trying to restore my Victory machine, and would want the marquee, control panel, wiring harness, power supply and boards. That would leave a nice looking ready-to-MAME cab, with monitor, glass, coin door and isolation transformer. Plus, I can ship you the control panel off of mine, so you won't have to build one from scratch. I've also got a piece of smoked glass that fits perfectly I won't need, if you don't want the Victory glass on your MAME. If anybody's in the area and would pick it up, strip and ship the parts I need, I'll buy it and you can keep the heavy stuff.

:police: Before somebody tells me I'm killing one game to save another, I prefer to think of this as making my shell of a cab and this complete one switch places without paying the truck freight to accomplish it. :angel:

PM me if you're my man!

edit: I'd pay the shipping for my parts, of course.

Post by: stevejt on January 31, 2005, 08:58:46 am: Would love to help, but a little too far away. Even if you paid me for gas, it would match the shipping... If you manage to find something close to NYC, let me know.

Post by: TheGreg on January 31, 2005, 04:56:31 pm: Hey, I might do it. I PM'd the guy asking if the monitor works. If the monitor is dead, then I don't really want it... but we'll see.

Easy enough to remedy..... just wheel the fridge out of the kitchen and put it out the back door, running an extension cord to it... then the new cab can fit nicely where the fridge sat in the kitchen ;D

Problem solved

Post by: Kremmit on February 01, 2005, 08:58:02 pm: TheGreg: I saw your post, but hadn't gotten a confirmation. I was actually thinking I would bid on it, rather than you. Since your post indicates you're planning in bidding, I dunno what to do, as I have no idea how high you're planning to go. We certainly shouldn't be bidding against each other! Hopefully you will check back here before end of auction (2 hours!) and contact me. My phone # is in your PM box, or you can PM me back if you can't make the call- I'll check back in here a little before end of auction.

Thanks!

Everybody that's watching: I'm bidding at the last second.

Thanks, TheGreg!
