Cleaning out some storage space and need to rid myself of a couple bulky things

I've got two Sanyos with decent to good looking tubes. Both have been in and out of storage for a few years.

These are so damn cheap, it should be a no-brainer that these are as-is for parts, repair, door stops, target practice, whatever.

If no one claims these in the next couple weeks, I'll likely be setting them out for the scrappers after yoinking a couple bits and pieces off of them for myself.

Do not ask me to ship anything. If I get to the scrapping stage, I'll see what I have for packing materials and price bits and pieces accordingly if I have shipping materials. Chassis will not be shipped unless you want a box of pcb dust and random components - these Sanyos are brittle as hell and I've never had one survive shipping.

Cracked Chassis Sanyo - Tube untested, chassis not working. I actually had this chassis working with some heavy solder stitching on a different tube. The entire corner that has the flyback mounted to it is sheared off. I stitched together all of the broken traces and capped it probably 3 or 4 years ago, and shockingly it worked fine.... for a few weeks at a time. I think temperate fluctuations would eventually break joints. I'd pull the chassis, reflow everything, and it would work for another few weeks. Finally got tired of messing with it. Yoke wiring is mangled and I have no idea what the status of the tube is. No audio amp included. High voltage cage IS present.

Burnt Tube Sanyo - if memory serves, this would actually work for a little bit but go into high voltage shut down randomly. When it did this, it would reset the entire cabinet it was housed in AND the game next to it. Somewhere out there is a thread where I tried to troubleshoot, but I couldn't make heads or tails of the advice given and stuck it on a shelf. Again - no clue of the actual tube status at this point, but the yoke connector looks OK. No audio amp included. High voltage cage IS present.

To me, this is a parts lot - some potentially good original flybacks, a good yoke or two, and maybe some bonus bits. What you see if what you get. Definitely a better gamble than the Powerball tickets we all just bought.

Take 'em both for $40 cash on pick up only. Would really, really like to not split 'em up.

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

If you buy the monitors, I'll throw in this lovely non-working pachislo machine for free! No tokens, it worked a few years ago but I can't recall how I got it to work. Honestly, if you don't want the monitors and really just want to come get the free pachislo machine I certainly won't stop you. I just don't want to dumpster it. Pretty sure there is a keyed bypass switch on the power supply that I hacked poorly as well.
