Title: Can't believe I just missed out on this!

Some of them looked like they could've been rescued....

Edit: I just asked the guy about them and he said:

"Someone got the Ms Pac, Joust, and the Playchoice cabinet.  I still have a few others that are good for scrap wood."

You really think so? They are all gutted and in horrible shape. They aren't even worth parting out. I would be tempted to take the Ms. Pac and Joust for MAME projects, but not too much.

Much better off with $50 cabs that have a monitor.

Yeah, I know they look like crap.

I live in area that is sparse when it comes to finding cabinets. I already have a good cab, but I'm always looking for free project cabs. I could've done something with at least one of them.

I wonder why he's fixing them before taking them to the dump?   ;D
