So how many of you still have the first cab you bought?

I still have the first cab I bought, a dynamo cut corner. Lately I have been thinking about selling it though. Only thing that keeps me from selling it is that it's a great cab and the only reason to sell it would be to buy another cab. Since there is nothing wrong with it why do I need another cab? lol

I think I'll focus on getting my other machines to 100%.
 
My first two machiens were a package deal, a Twister pin and a Spiderman cab. I still have both. I have considered getting rid of each at different times but my wife loves the Twister and the Spiderman always gets a ton of play at parties.
 
My first was the Ms. Pacman/Galage Reunion, which I also have kept.
I just can't bring myself to part with a game I played so much when I was a kid.
 
My first arcade related game was an Aladdin's Castle pinball machine and yes, we still have it.

My first arcade video game was Frogger off of eBay for $455 November 20, 2003 and yes, we still have it as well.
Also have a framed copy of the eBay listing to show when the madness began.

Although the Frogger has been more problems than it was ever worth it is a keeper...although it may just be turned into a multi that plays only Frogger.

My first game ever was an NBA Jam cab that was in a TMNT/Konami style cabinet. I sold it when I found a dedicated one. So technically I don't have the first cabinet ever, but I still have the first game.

Does that count for anything?
 
Tapper....still have it and still love it!

My first was a DD that had been converted to SNK Bermuda Triangle.

I was only looking for a vertical JAMMA cab, so I could install one of these awesome 60-1 boards, and play all the games I ever wanted in just one cab!That lasted about two weeks after I found this place...

Now its been cosmetically restored back to a Double Dragon, and its my MAME/Daphne/console emu rig. XBOX to JAMMA adapter inside.

My first cab was a Space Invaders Deluxe that was in my bar because my grandmother had one when it was her bar. I sold it when I though I had the bar sold, but I ended up buying a nicer one.
 
Yep, and after building the house around it, it can never leave:

Nah, you can always frame in a closer face with cabinet doors. :D

As for me, technically my first was a totally gutted Taito. It is gone. My first working games were a Relief pitcher, and a Top Gunner. Top Gunner is gone, but the Relief Pitcher cabinet has been mostly converted back to its original Xevious state and still in my gameroom. It hopefully be sold by Christmas though.
 
My first was actually 2 cabinets. A Punch-Out! and a red tent. Thankfully both are great machines and i still have both. I've thought about getting rid of the vs a few times though.
