Managed to get my first free game today the guy didnt tell me much about it but he said it was as big as a vikings quarter back and there was about 30 stairs to deal with, I jumped in the truck, grabed some help and this is what I found. so lets here of some good pick up stories from hell my back still hurts looking at those stairs the guy said it took 4 guys to get it up in the house and he said he paid $1000.00 bucks for it 10 years ago.

congrats on the free game. they don't happen often, but are always cool.

well, as far as heavy pickups, i used to have a super pac cocktail. didn't have anyone to help me move it, so i moved it (without a dolly) up 15 steps to my second floor apartment by picking up from one step to the next, and made it up to the top. still don't know how the hell i did it. adrenaline, maybe. cause i don't think today i could carry a midway cocktail up 5 steps.
 
Damn nice snag I saw that on craigslist and sent him an email but it looks like you got it first. Nice to see pictures of what could have been :) How did you get a hold of him?

Does it work?
 
yep it work good the monitor is sound but the sound was cranked up it had 2 wires disconnected on the pot for the sound fixed that and it was good to go, and I just emailed him like 5 times I just got lucky I guess.
 
Nice one, and I bet it wasn't light...
Love the photo, it sums up the moment..
With all those stairs and all.

Very nice. That is most likely an original dedicated MK 1 cab if you were looking for one. Or it may be a selling point if you are flipping it. Free is awesome.
 
In the first pic thats the home owner he just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen going down the stairs and the last pic is my buddy chico he is allways up for a challenge, and yes it is a mortal combat 1 cab and I was glad it wasnt a show case cab the way the guy was talkin about it.
 
I was surprised it was a newer game for such an older guy. I guess it was for his grand kids?
 
Nice score!

"WHOA!!!!! Double pallet strap! What does it mean?"

Sorry if the reference is lost, LOL.

Enjoy the game!

Chris



reference checked.



Sweet score mk1 cab ftw. they are heavy but not as bad as everyone makes them out to be :D

you need to get stair crawler wheels for your dolly.
 
Shit yeah honky!!!
Free stuff RULES!!!
My only free cab was a Sega Virtua Twin (twin driver sitdown) which had to be lugged out a walk out basement, up a hill around the house in 2 foot of SNOW!
Getting it in the truck was the hard part LOL
 
The guy helped as much as he could he said he had a hip replacement, and 2 feet of snow up hill that really had to suck I hope you had some help.
