finally got a satan's hollow!!!!! pics will be up tomorrow, pretty sick today. anyways, this has been a deal in the works for a while. it came to me by way of a guy that runs a route, who is pretty cool and was willing to hold it for a month for me.

i first saw the ad on memorial day weekend, and figured, shit. just picked up the mario, and a wedding coming up, and no cash or room. anyways, talked to the wife, the stars aligned, and i went up to take a look at it. bob, the guy that owned it, took a deposit and agreed to hold it for a month till i got back from my honeymoon. i was originally going to wait till the end of the week to pick it up but just plain couldn't wait.

it's in pretty good shape, all in all. a couple small lock bar holes, that will be filled. needs a new blacklight and a new flour. bulb for the marquee. it has a black joystick, with the correct insert, but i'm gonna replace it with a reproduction from groovygamegear.com or whatever their site is. monitor's pretty clean, but will be capped. the only real issue is a sound problem, which will be posted about in the appropriate forum. pics and serial number for addition to the registy will be coming tomorrow.
 
i'll tell ya, too. the toughest thing was keeping this deal under wraps for a month. i was so tempted to, but so paranoid that someone else would get it at the same time.
 
allright, here's a pic. i will post more in a couple days once i clean it up...

Awesome cab. Are you going to locate a Red Handle for it?

When I bought my Tron the guy had a Satans Hollow Caberet, that I had to turn down, because I didn't have the money, and I regret that to this day.
 
yeah, groovygamegear.com sells repro handles for 25$. i need one of those, a new cpo, a kickplate molding, some thorough cleaning, and to fix the sound issue.
 
Looks like it'll clean up nicely. Nice score. Now I gotta do someting thats just plain wrong......

Now we know why you married her (congrats by the way)

you know, looking at that pic, crazy how it faded from a nice red to a tomato red/orange.

Yeah, that looks really faded. Should all be that color red. Still a nice looking cab. You have been looking for one of these for a while. Nice to see you get one.
 
Don't forget, the SH Registry Club meets on the 6th of the month. Bring your pitchfork and a snack for everyone. That's 6 twinkies Jim.
