The only place to buy a new one is at twobits.com. ($139.00) You can check ebay... Sometimes they pop up but not that often.

Great cab! Looks awesome!

theCoder · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2006, 12:07:10 pm »

If you're up for the challenge, why not make a custom cab with a deep table like CP at lap height. This way, he could wheel up to it and have the CP at the "right" height. Meanwhile, others could just pull up a chair. But then again...

Very nice job.

motorfish · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2006, 01:06:00 pm »

very cool. The CP turned out very well!

Sweet system Squire! That thing looks awesome man!

If you are interested in making a more wheelchair accessible CP for him, I'd be very interested in your developments. I'm currently trying to figure out an extendable CP for myself. I'm almost sure we could share some ideas back and forth.
