Cocktail cab - tell me what you think??
« on: January 02, 2006, 02:04:09 pm »
I just got offered this cocktail cab as a p/x for a PSP, the guy wants to give me this cab and 70pounds on top for a PSP, can you guys help me out and tell me what you think, these are the pics he sent me, it looks alright to me, but am not sure if it is worth it or not????
pls do tell me what you think and do you think this will be a tough job for me to do or will it be worth it once it is completed....
the cocktail table doesnt have any thing inside it has totaly been scrip so no monitor/wiring nothing only comes with cashbox and control panel....

look at the pics and tell me honestly how much you will pay for one of these or would sell one of these for???
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

personally i wouldnt bother with that at all

seen much better example of taito jamma cocktail cab go on ebay for cheap including arcade monitor and working control panels

check out following category of ebay.co.uk theres always something listed there of interest

PC & Video Gaming> Coin-Operated> Video Games


also suggest that you PM user "ravage" i know he had a load of taito cocktail cabs that he was looking to sell pretty cheap for restore..

That is worth about $20 US (around 12 pounds). So figure out how much your PSP is worth and add pounds until you get to that price.

That ASSUMES that all those marks on there are just masking tape and not damaged laminate. If it is damaged laminate than drop that value to around 5 pounds.

I wouldn't let my PSP go for that cocktail table!

Just hold on to your PSP,

And see if you can find a MIDWAY cocktail table.

Their design looks much better than that one!

Good Luck!!

That cocktail looks like junk. It needs to be burned and you wont hear that much around here.  But it does.

I would only take that if it was free. It looks like a MAJOR project. You could probaby pick up some MDF and build a better cabinet.

Ill tell you what just buy some wood and make your own.  You could have that box made for 20 bucks worth of material.

I really want a PSP but I wouldnt trade you that cocktail for one, I dont know if my morals could handle ripping someone off that bad.  :angel:
