Is this a decent deal?

Alright I have a chance to buy this robocop cab below for 200 bucks.  I could maybe talk the guy down to 180 but not lower than that and I told him I would let him know by tommrow.  He says the cab is in good shape and just needs t-molding and some scrubbing.  The game works just fine and the monitor is decent but could use  a cap kit to look new again (thinks its a 25").  I figure I could sell the game, controls, marque and maybe power supply and jamma harness on ebay for 30-40 bucks.  It would end up costing me about 30-40 bucks for the cap kit and t-molding anyway so I figured I would be right back at 180-200 at that point for a cab ready to be mamed.  So any thoughts on that would be cool.

Also could anybody tell me what size monitor is in the cab?  He said he thought it was a 25" but hadnt measured it I was under the immpresion that there were really only two common sizes 19" and 25" but I might be wrong.  Also I think its a taito cab has anybody mamed one of these if so how much cp room will I have on it?

sounds good to me if it is easily salvageable. my built from scratch cab cost me $235, just for materials (no mon, computer, etc.)

thats funny, i just picked up a robocop cabinet saturday. its the dedicated one though the one youre looking at was converted from a generica data east it looks like. I got mine for 50$ with no monitor, or boards or anything. just cabinet with the controls/coin mechs/marquee. ask him if you could take it without the boards for less cause youre obviously not gonna use them. thats a decent deal though since youre getting a monitor but then you need a arcade VGA card to interface so youre really not saving much in the long run VS a PC monitor. but if its hard to find machines around you its not like youre getting ripped off
