I saw an original Galaxian cab on the CURB in the RAIN!!
javeryh:
I was visiting my in-laws this past weekend and in their neighborhod I saw a Galaxian cab sitting on the side of the road in the pouring rain. The controls and monitor were still inside but the side art and overall look of the cab was worn. The marquee looked like it was in pretty good shape though. It broke my heart... :-[
There was nothing I could do about it - I drive a little car and there was no way to move it....

Personally I would have come back with a screwdriver and stripped it but that's just me.

That's a sad story. I wish you could've rescued it. :(
Here in CT there aren't that many arcades. There are a few vendors around, but the chances of finding someone who's selling a cab for cheap, let alone throwing it out or giving it away, are slim to none.
Dire Radiant:
Never quit trying though. I posted "cab wanted" ads on usenet for over two years on and off and within two weeks I got a System 1 cab in great condition for fifty bucks AND a free PC and monitor fell into my lap. Sometimes you try for ages and then it all just falls together.

I have field-stripped abandoned cabinets in the rain before. Got a really sweet kit that way once.
