Yesterday was my birthday and was also the day I traded a machine for a Solar Spin redemption game. Been wanting one of those for awhile. Got it and everything works great. (Thanks Komodo) Got it delivered by a guy here in Texas that delivers games for a cheap price. He had tons of Ms. Pac-Mans going to just one guy. (Jr.Pac, if you see these photos, sorry to make you suffer.) Then this morning I get a call from a friend saying he was walking to work and found a free cabinet of a Hang-On. Awesome! So I grab the hand truck and walk to the house. Get the cab and start heading on home. Got it home, and I didn't even look at the cab. I just put it in the house and went back to relaxing LOL. It wore me out hauling that thing. (I'm also not the most in-shape person lol) Later I saw the guy that gave me the Hang-On cab and asked him if he had any arcade parts for sell. Turns out he had the handlebars for the cabinet so I got them from him. Its all in pieces so that's going to be an adventure putting them back on the machine haha. Also found that the PCBs are still in the cabinet, not sure if the power supply is. He told me he was working on putting MAME in the cabinet. I thought to myself, "How the hell can you MAME a Hang-On cabinet?"..Oh well. Here are some pics of todays and yesterdays pick up.

That's dedication. How far did you drag that by hand?

Good luck with it Josh.

Thanks. I can't say a real distance but I would say I passed about 25 houses or more

Edit: I actually picked up the cab so you could make the plans for it and reproduce it, but I think I may "hang on" to it... :)

That's pretty sweet for free. I love the Sega driving and flying games.
 
I've already suffered enough... :p
That lucky varmint! I hope he keeps them Ms. Pacs and not the other M word.

*daydreams about a whole arcade full of Ms. Pacs...*
