Title: Looking for a Cabinet in Michigan
Post by: Hoagie_one on May 15, 2003, 05:07:43 pm
Stripped is fine but, if you want to included coin doors and such, that would be appreciated, but not nessesary.

Looks like the guy I was gonna get the cabinet from doesnt want to sell now.

Please reply here or email me at
mym_ray@hotmail.com

Thanks

I've been keeping an eye at e*bay watching for cabs in the Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, and Detroit areas.  I just missed an empty Arabian cab that would have been perfect yesterday.  I bid it up to $50 earlier in the week with the intention of finishing it off close to the end of the auction. I went outside to do some work with 3 hrs. left in the auction and lost track of time.  
The darn thing sold for $50.01!@!

OK Hoagie, we are watching and prolly bidding on the same cabs here.
Maybe we should divide and conquer.  I'm buzzdalf on e-bay.  I've got a bid in on another cab from that same seller.

If we do this right we should both end up with what we want.

There was a guy a few years back in the Brighton Area (Silver Lake specifically) that I bought a Slikworm Machine (Formerly Defender) from.  He may still be around.  Oscar from Oscarcontrols may know this person since Oscar is also from this area.  You could send Oscar an email about it.

Hop into the newsgroups and post something.  I live in Saginaw and was looking for a cab.  I posted there and had a cab in about 2 weeks.

"if you think michigan is a black hole for cabs you should try getting one in virginia "

VERY TRUE!

It took me about two months to find a guy with a cab to sell me...
a project indeed... luckily it wasn't in bad shape like i assumed it would be:)

I'm located in Coleman, and am in the market for a cabinet in decent but not great shape.  Where can I look for a good deal in the tri-city area?

Contact this guy.  He is really friendly and is located near Mt. Pleasant.  As far as I know cabs 2 and 4 are now spoken for.

Second the recommendation for John Goggan.  He is very friendly and a great seller.  I scored the #1 and #3 cabs from him, and his prices are extremely fair.  Plus, his basement arcade will have you drooling. ;D

I've sent an email to goggan, but have not received a reply.  Would anyone have additional contact info for him? ???

Patience, grasshopper. ;D  John Goggan is a very busy person.  Try waiting another couple days, then email him again. I had to wait 3 days for a reply once when I dealt with him, but was worth it.
