Offering my Tutankham cab up for free to a good home for anyone who wants to pick it up. The cab itself is in pretty good shape, the only major issues are: a) no monitor chassis and b) board wouldn't coin up when turned on. I'll get some pics later today. If you're coming down I-10 between Pensacola and Tally, it's yours for the taking. It's only free for this weekend guys due to a threatened fine against me for having it in my carport. If no one gets it this weekend, I will strip it out Sunday night, sell the guts and toss the cab to the roadside for Monday pickup.

EDIT: As promised, pics:

The nitty-gritty (just so I don't get a ton of PMs asking me the questions to the answers below):

No water damage, some of the top layer of laminate overtop the plywood is chipped or broken off in small chunks around the bottom edges. Definitely not a particle board cab. Solid, sturdy construction like all Stern cabs

Side art is there but incomplete...marquee looks decent (I'll even throw in a spare marquee). CP needs a good thorough cleaning. Chassis has been stripped from the monitor by the previous owner, it's a Sampo model 19", almost zero burn-in on the tube.

Coin door is complete, even has the Stern sticker on it. Marquee light fixture is there but needs to be bolted back in place. Power supply etc is all there, just couldn't get the board to power up. Whoever picks it up, it's your problem child to fix now :D


I should mention that the game has been sitting in my carport covered in a waterproof heavy-duty tarp for the past week (freaking Debby). Nothing sinister about that, but my Home Owner Association is raising hell about me moving it, so if someone doesn't come pick it up in the next few days, by weekend's end, it's going to the curb. No "hold it for a week for me" or "Can you ship it?" on this one, boyos.

BTW, Debby never actually hit us...we had a few high winds and a light sprinkle, that was it. All that work covering it up for practically nothing.

too bad you cant dis-assemble these things and ship them flat :)
yah, i cant see a way to get it out of there by sunday. I hope someone saves this. Not too many stern cabs around these days...
 
You *do* realize that throwing a Tutankham in the trash holds the same curse as opening a Pharaoh's tomb, right? Not that I want you to worry or anything. :D :D :D
 
lol You shoulda seen the mummified frog I first found in it...I'm already cursed from that.

Guys, I've had a lot of PMs about this and while I appreciate the enthusiasm (ya cheap bastards), I really don't have any way of palleting and weighing this thing for shipping, especially since I'm at work and don't have a scale. Literally it's cash and carry, without the cash. Someone wants it that's coming down I-10, it's theirs. I'm about ten minutes off the interstate. You come by, you grab it, I help load it, we shoot the shit for a minute, you go with my blessing and a free game. You'll have to supply your own palleting stuff/cling wrap/padding/etc.
 
Pics added.

C'mon guys, save this beast. I really wanted to keep it and restore it, but with my HMA acting like titty babies, I have no choice but to get rid of it. AS you can see by the pics, its in really decent shape and needs minimal work to make it a nice addition to your gameroom.


T-minus 48 hours till curbside.
 
If you get no takers, would you be willing to part it to me? I'd pay you to strip down the cab. I would take everything but the tube and wood shell.

I've got a Tut board here that needs love, and a 2nd board plus the trimmings would save my cab.
 
I can strip out the stuff if need be, but the cab's gotta go regardless by Monday. Damn shame too, wish I could find a chassis (not 8liners) for that monitor, it really is nice with nearly zero burn-in.
If I strip it out, I'll have to sell the stuff (at a fair price of course). I'm only giving it away for free this weekend due to the circumstances. F*ckers threatened to fine me $250 for having "junk" in open view, yet didn't say a word about my pool table which is in front of the Tut, covered up.
 
lol Chassis's not gonna do me much good if I don't have the tube :D

Maybe if I part it out, we can work out a partial swap for the chassis. I can always use another nice 19" CRT.
 
Man that's a cryin' shame. (Rant incoming) Stupid HMA & ordinances; my town left me a nice little note on my garage yesterday, saying I had to mow my back grass or I would get "further action taken against me." It hasn't rained in over 4 weeks over here. The grass is dead, and a few "hearty weeds" have popped up in the back yard. That's what they're complaining about. They have nothing better to do than to target stupid stuff vs. getting the thugs to stop running car stereo installation businesses out of their garage. (end rant). Okay, I took some happy pills and I'm fine now. :)

I hope someone does pick up that cab before it's too late.

HMA's are a blight on society. Worst part is, the dumb HMA chairwoman who has her panties in a bunch over it is not only a lawyer, but my ex's lawyer who lost to me in our custody battle a few years ago..so she's even more of a C-word than normal. So yeah...bye bye Tut :(

Holy shit, man, I'd put a candy stick up her ass and run away, far, far, away.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.
 
the world is fucked, glad you took it to that c*nt :D good to hear a guy beat an ex AND her female lawyer LOL. guys always lose and get the bad rap. meanwhile, youre a saint for posting this here. hopefully someone grows a set and grabs it in time.
