I'm moving soon and I would LOVE to have something like this in my new place.

Not in the Bay Area, but it's cheap:

Edit: heck, that's the same unit, isn't it?

It is.  Does anyone know the proper name for this piece?  Maybe I can do a more accurate search.   :-\

Thanks.

I came across that same thing in my search.  It's kinda nice but not what I'm looking for.  Thanks for sharing....     :P

A dollar's pretty cheap. You're looking to do better than that? If you want it new, the arcadegames4u guys built me a couple of bartops to my specifications for cheap. But it was more than a dollar.  :)

I'll send them these pictures and ask them how much, could be fun.

I love the 1.00 price tag but the guy is not willing to ship it.  Please ask the guy for me about the price for building something like that.  I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I'm the one that's selling it  :D .
I have never shipped a machine or had one shipped to me so that's why I put pickup only.
I would be willing to ship it, but the buyer needs make all shipping arrangements.
I originally wanted to do the same thing with it (Xbox/PS2 in it) but I'm running out of space and the boss (wife) won't let me buy any other cabs until I make some space in the garage  :-[

It's a damn shame you aren't driving distance away.  I emailed you asking about the weight.  It will probably too much of a hassle trying to get it over here.

That's your auction AlexC?  How much are you looking to get for the pedestal?  I'm local and could come pick it up whenever.
