OK I saw the Sega Outrun on CL and seller wants $300. Says I works and monitor is good...cab is good and its sitting in a former U-haul truck...
I decide to run over and look at it...Of course it buried behind a full truck load of someone's former storage rooms (just like the storage wars tv show )lol
It looks ok from back of truck. I see a few other cabs in the truck. So I agree to purchase it once he "delivers it to my house and I can power it up. He agrees and follows me home.
We unload the entire truck power up the Outrun and ... It works great. I notice the wheel shaker did not seem to do anything and I guess the steering wheel could be replaced.
I point these out...Decide to look over the other 3 cabs....
Cab 1 - Cab looks complete. Plug in and fires up and plays! Monitor looks decent and so does the cab. Marquee show "Doble" game, board is "Super Pang" Thinking this can be my Mr. DO cab until I grab a 60-1.
Cab 2 - Cab decent but gutted...Zero Piont 2 (on the side) I was thinking about a "gun" cab and have an extra 25" std res crt monitor
Not sure what game to make this one...
Cab 3 - Cab decent but gutted...See Boardwalk begin thinking I need a home for my 26" new arcade LCD. Maybe turn it into a bowling game...
So I say how much for all 4. He says $750. I chuckled ... Lets think about this ... You are here, You don't want to load all of this stuff back in the truck right?
I tell him 4 bills....He takes about 15 minutes to think it over as I help him back two broken Juke boxes (crap ones) back in the truck and a few pieces of furniture...turns around see the cabs and says .... Lets make the deal.
Not bad Sunday with delivery LOL.
Now I come to my friends here and ask ... What would you plan for these cabs?? Hope to get some really cool ideas!
