June 2014 to Present - Last Call - Possible Part Outs and/or Dumped Cabinets.
Getting ready to smash an original dedicated cabinet you don't have space for? Why not offer it up for free if you can't sell it? It might be a tad more hassle then burning or dumping, but it could be of use to another collector and might actually be restored.
Thinking of parting out a machine worth more dead than alive? Please let us know that, and ask a price in between. Parting out a game is work, and it is nice to help some one else save a game if they can.
* Don't post the for sale thread here. Create a thread if you haven't already and link to it from here.
* Most importantly, after posting in this thread, please give potential saviors one at least 2 weeks (if not longer) to propose an adoption before continuing with the part out.
* Edit your message in this thread and add a comment if the game is no longer available.
* Participation in this thread is currenly mandatory. Previously it was voluntary, but highly encouraged, and now we are running a test as a mandatory thread. Mandatory just means post to it 2 weeks before you post a parting out (and selling the parts) thread.
* Even if a machine isn't working or complete, please offer it up before parting it out.
* If you see another thread about a threatened part-out, and it isn't linked here, you can post it here even if you aren't the original poster of the other thread.
* Posts should be limited to directly to the topic at hand. I'm not looking for any political statements, arcade terrorism, or civil liberty speeches. If you can't play nice in this thread, don't post in it.
