Title: FREE Cabs from HanaHo!!
Post by: borg357 on July 10, 2008, 12:12:43 pm
Hey people..

HanaHo is doing some summer cleaning..  too much junk were trying to get rid of.. But, you know what they say about junk.  One man's junk is another man's treasure!

Anyway.. If you're local to the LA area, bring a large truck over to HanaHo and take what you want..  But, please don't take our employees, we still need them.

More details can be found here!

p.s. First come first serve.

Oh man that is so tempting.  I live about 1 1/2 hour drive away, but my truck only get about 5mpg and hasn't been running too well lately, so I don't want to take it on a long drive if I can help it.  Plus I don't actually "need" any new cabinets....not that any of that really matters when it comes to free arcade cabinets.

Do any of the cabinets have the arcade boards still in them or power on?  I'm actually going to be free this afternoon, but I really shouldn't get anything, so please tell me no  ;D

YES, I believe that all the ones in the photos are all complete even.  It's a first come first serve thing, and we don't have time to go though and see if they work or not.

Save these, and many many more from the dumpsters guys!

FREE FREE FREE, just take them.

p.s.  email:  info@hanaho.com  to come on by and get them..

Well I found someone to go with me, so I'd like to leave in about 1 1/2 hours to see what you have (so I'd get there around 3:30).  And don't worry every else who wants to go, I'll probably only want 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4 depending on whats there) ;D

I sent an email, but could you PM your address just to make sure I get it in time.

Thanks

Doh, someones going to beat me to the defender cab.

Actually thinking it over, it'll cost me a $100 of gas and on the way back I'll be going through LA right around rush hour, so I've changed my mind.  Maybe next time.

Let us know what you get bemerritt  :)

Sorry guys,

The Defender cab is not one of the FREE cabs we're giving away..  It got caught in one of the backgrounds of one of the photos, but it's not a give-a-way.

Sorry.

p.s. also.. the email address is catching a lot of email, so give us a bit to get thought the emails.  In the mean time, you're welcome to go over to HanaHo during business hours if you figure out where the shop is.

i would like to publicly say THANKS to HanaHo. I was fortunate enough to score on two cabs, one blank and one Metal Slug 2. And even a monitor. It is greatly appreciated and highly recommend going over there and talking to the nice people over there. WHen i left there was still a lot of stuff. thanks again!

Well if you got there fast I guess there was a deal or 2.  I got there and was told to wait in the lobby.  Well, 10 mins go by and an very polite gentleman walks me into the warehouse and shows me 3 miniature trashed cabs explaining that all the other ones are gone.  He had a few for sale of course but other than that... nada.  I was told that he has more but he can't show them too me now as he is too busy.  I was then invited to come back tomorrow...  think I might just pass on that one.

A free Defender cab. Why the  :censored: did I decide to move to Singapore and not to LA?  :cry: :cry: Never mind, it wasn't free. An entrepreneurial lawyer might sue them for that though  >:D

Sorry for the wait guys..

Conway was in the middle of a meeting right at that second.  Sorry for the 10 min wait, but you did walk in without getting a email reply yet.  But, hell.. I would have done the same thing.

The reason why more stuff will come up tomarrow is because we estimate that it's going to take over 1 week to actually pull everything out of that side of our warehouse.  It's so packed in, we don't even know what we have in there anymore!

Today we found 2 Mazda Miatas that we forgot we had!!

Once we pull out all the shelves behind those cabinets, we'll find even more items to toss.

It's a luck of the draw people.. sorry.

No, I waited for an e-mail reply before showing up.  20 minutes after I got an e-mail from you guys I was there.  Not complaining just a little frustrating.

Borg,

I have one of your Showcase Cabinets (w/ jamma SFIII3S) in Irvine, CA. I was curious about three things...

1) If you find any 33" monitors please let me know, I can be there same day. The Sharp Image stock monitor came with some odd hourglass type issues.

2) Do you think I could fit a 35" viewable monitor like the 37" Mitsubishi Megaview Pro? Exact specs are here...  http://www.ciao.co.uk/Mitsubishi_MegaView_Pro_37__5392519 I haven't taken off the plastic protector + bezel to see how much room is there for the monitor, but considering you guys created it, I figure you'll have the diagram (or can let me take a peek at it ;))

3) Do you guys do custom modification orders? If I can't fit the 35" without a mod to the cab, I'd be interested in custom fitting an LCD on top and losing 15hz compatibility for 720p (looking forward to Street Fighter IV for PC).

Thanks if you have time to answer my questions! I absolutely love this cab and your company ROCKS!  :notworthy:

6000 miles round-trip across the country... $1800 in gas
22 mini-mart hot dogs to last the 6-day journey.... $21.78
147 cans of RockStar to make it there and back in 6 days... $220.50

Owning an Environmental DoT... Priceless

Thanks Richard. If it's an unusual request don't worry about it, I'll mod it myself. Considering my woodworking/wiring tools to education to cash ratio right now, it'd be way "cheaper" for me to pay a premium for a professional job.
