Found a Cabinet on side of road...

<< < (2/2)

Howard_Casto:
an original forgger cabinet has wood grain on the side

On the top portion (of the sides) it had a huge black decal with a frog on it, but many times the distros didn't put it on.  

I have no doubt in my mind that it's an original frogger as it's a very distinctive shape, coin door, ect....

CthulhuLuke:
Holy crap, I wonder if it was being thrown away, or if you just hi-jacked someone's pickup! j/k well it's in damn good condition, so one thing that might be kinda cool to do would be to get a crappy p333mhz or something in there, and make it a 4-way dedicated mame cabinet, so you can play Frogger, Pac man, or anything else of that nature.
   You can also go the restoration's path, and if you find out how to fix the monitor for under 50 bucks, sell it in the newspaper as a restored original Frogger cabinet in the Newspaper for 300, make yourself a nice wad of cash, and buy a larger empty cab to MAME.
   If you're happy with a small CP like this, and don't mind spending the cash to get this thing rigged up as a MAME cabinet, then go for it.
  - GOOD FIND!

Frostillicus:
Frogger is a great classic - I would try to save it and just build your own MAME cab.  You could use the Frogger cab as the original and build a copy - then you'd have TWO arcade machines ;)

If you get it working you could always sell it and make a big profit, but at least it wouldn't be destroyed.

Ghoul:
When a home appliance or computer stops working people don't throw them away, they have a repair man come in and fix them.

I don't understand why people seem to have a tendency to throw away perfectly good machines that generally have minor issues because they just stop working  ??? You could at least take them to a distributor and sell the thing.

Birdtales:
Don't know where you're located but I have a NARC cabinet with a bad monitor in it I'd trade for the Frogger. I need a decent cabinet for a restoration. I'd rather see the NARC cabinet get Mamed than a Frogger cabinet. I am in Maryland.
