I got this non-working super pac of craigs list for 75.00. The monitor works, im not sure if the board works but looks clean and complete. I bought this cause i want to put my 48-1 in it. Im going to completly restore the cabnet. The size of these cabs is just awsome for space...

You'll find out soon enough that "small" cocktail takes up way more space than a "big" ole upright...
 
Depends on what you use it for...they make a nice little table, you can stack stuff on them when they're not being used (as long as you're careful not to scratch the glass), and if you rarely play 2 players, you can always put it up against a wall. (heck, you can set it to upright mode and just play musical chairs and have both players use the player 1 controls). You can also haul them in the back of a car (although a Midway style might not fit easily, those metal Japanese style cabs like DK had fit perfectly in the back seat of a sedan if you remove the legs first)

Spacewise, I always had good luck with cocktails. You can stack stuff on top of it. You can use it as a table. You can put it against the wall.

I used to have a piece of wood that I would place over the top and use it as a workstation.
 
Nice find, especially for $75. I'll get one of these someday, and use it as my livingroom coffee table. :D
 
I put mine up near the pool table. You don't have to worry about it getting in the way since it is so low, and it is great for sitting drinks on while shooting pool. Of course I have coasters sitting on it to not scratch it. I don't want any more cocktails though because they have unique space requirements which can be more than a regular cabinet depending on your layout and use. They certainly have their place.
