Title: How much is too much
Post by: HHH356 on July 14, 2006, 01:57:47 pm

So how much whould one expect to pay for for a 33" showcase cabinet in good condition.  Trying to not get ripped off here.

well....


coin door?
marquee?
monitor?
PCB?
Controls?

since you didn't list any - I'll assume:
It has multiple trackballs, light guns, a 50" plasma television, 4 joysticks, LED lit buttons, transporter, time control and also doubles as a girl friend.

1 trillion dollars.

It is a marvel vs street fighter in good working order.  With all the parts.

I would have said lower, but it will depend on availability in your area.

I paid C$675 for mine with a NAOMI GD-ROM and Virtua Tennis 2 (which is most of the cost right there).

At auction here, they're going for C$300-$500.

Cheers.

Well I picked it up today $900 for a Dynamo showcase with a 33" sharp.  The Cab just needs a little TLC.  I will keep it with the CPS-2 Marvel Super Heros VS. Street Fighter till I get all the part to redo the CP and all the MAME parts.  Then the CPS-2 will be for sale to get a few bucks back.  Hey man it's California all we have is expensive.

Got any pictures of the cab?  Sounds like a good find.
