I've been burned too, guy said a buddy of his had a mint Sea Wolf that was being kept in a storage shed. It was non working, but he said it would look decent. Nope. It was being kept in his backyard by the pool. It was wrotten awfully bad and had severe water damage from rain. I finally had to turn down something free.
The wife shoulda taken that money and ran, but she probably didn't know what a good deal you were giving her, people around my house tell me, "It works, it must be worth alot!".
I'm glad you didn't settle for that pile. There are moments where you kick yourself for missing out, and there are days you kick yourself for falling for junk.

...Ken you're only off by about 10 miles give or take!!...
and Glaine....don't get me wrong....for a brief moment I thought I should take it anyway....but it would really cost me at least 300. to 500 to really get it into mint condition.
Thankfully I was "strong enough" to pass it up.
I just contacted another dude about a "DK/DK Jr."; but he emailed me back and said he realized it wasn't an original DK cab. At least he was honest!....the cab does look pretty good though if anyone is interested....here's the link to his pics.
It looks like it may be a home built cab...that "evokes" the look of a DK machine.
He's asking $550. in the NY area---

...You should refer them to my brother-in-law. He would buy any piece of crap.
Story time:
He is a rich, cocky, piece of crap. He owns a backwoods slot machine gambling place and has a large room with nothing to do with it. He gets the bright idea to start buying arcade games since he saw that I was interested in them( he has a superiority complex: I have one, he has to have 20). Being the nice guy I am, I tell him "let me know when you go to buy anything so I can help you out". Well he is too good to ask advice, so he buys a machine off ebay. Some unknown golf piece of crap. He paid like $400. The guy tells him that he has a whole room full of arcade games he would sell him for a lot price. Without inquiring what they are and only going on a "Yeah, they all work great!" line, he rents a U-haul and heads 2 states over. He ended up paying like $250 each for about 20 machines. He didn't even check to see if they actually worked when he picked them up! He gets back, and then has the nerve to call me a week later to see if I can fix them for him! I did go look at them finally, and boy did he get hosed! Only one machine has a working monitor (which needs rebuilt)! several of them are SEVERELY water logged. Some have obviously been broken into. Of all of them, only the crappy golf game (that uses a bat instead of a trackball) works, and even it is wired incorrectly, and has a badly screen burned monitor. In the end, I politely referred him to Randy Fromm's website and told him he better get studying. :laugh2:
So to all you fella's looking to unload a hunk of junk and you might live in close proximity to WV, I got a sucker for ya...
