Fair Price for 33" Dynamo Showcase Police Trainer
johnperkins21:
Someone very close to me is selling a 33" Dynamo Showcase Police Trainer supposedly in 100% working condition with "good monitor." They're asking $420 and I was thinking of offering up $300-$350. Is that a fair deal, or am I being too cheap.
Would MAMEing this cab be a sin? It's not really a classic. I do love Police Trainer, but I've only got room in my house for a couple of cabs at the moment. Can't really take up the space with a dedicated shooter.

It sounds like a sweet cab. If the monitor is looking nice in person, I'd say $350 is a pretty sweet deal. That's a huge monitor, and it would be awesome either as a dedicated cab or a MAME project.

Police trainer in a showcase? Cool! My wife loves that game.
If it is in the condition seller says it is (has there been a seller yet that accurately represents their cabinet?) then it is worth the asking price IMO. If anything is not up to snuff, then feel free to bump the price down and give a reason why. The worst he can say is price is firm.
At the least, you could sell the police trainer innards and guns for a nice profit on ebay and turn this thing into a 4 player machine. A showcase cabinet is my sole exception to the frankenpanel boycot. ;D

If it's in good shape... sounds like a deal.
Post some pics.

The whole thing is dependent on the condition of the monitor. If the monitor is crisp, $450 is still not unreasonable. Check how high the screen control on the flyback is set. For some reason every older showcase I see has the screen control set WAY up on the flyback and the only reason to do that is to compensate for either a dying flyback or tube.
