Post by: MPTech on November 29, 2007, 12:34:17 am

Ran across this on the St. Louis CraigsList and thought I'd pass it along for anyone looking.

Just in case you (or others) didn't check the ad because of the St Louis "listing", it appears that this cab is located near Madison, WI.  Not sure if thats still too far for you?  Hope this helps someone.

P.S. if anyone from Chicago is going up there for these cabs, perhaps you could bring one back for me :)

Please re-read the listing.

I believe that's Madison, Illinois (zip code 62060). About 10 minutes from downtown St. Louis. that's a 616 area code (also Illinois).

I didn't realize it was actually so close to me, I'm going to try to drop by this weekend and have a looksie!

I don't expect much, looks like they've been gutted (I don't see any monitors, coin doors, or CP's).
But I'm going to take a look, for that price, you can't complain!

Does anyone recognize any of those cabs? (just curious)

Starting from the left I see Omega Race, Crystal Castles, Sea Wolf, Defender and another Sea Wolf. Can't make out the others.

Sad site indeed.

Damn why is there never anything near me......

I know this guy. I went to highschool with him and I ran into him at the last auction. He's a cool dude. He used to try and sell them on ebay with a buy it now of $50. I guess he just gave up on that.

The cabinets are all outside ..... do you think he just brought them all outside for one picture ... or do you think the rain/cold weather is getting to them every day?
