So I won a non-working Star Wars upright on eBay last week and today I went to pick it up. I figure with being off work for a bit longer I might as well try to keep doing my normal things, so buying cabs is one of them.
I ended up winning it for $426 and there were a few other collectors bidding on it as well. I took a bit of a gamble as the pictures from the auction weren't exactly the best, but I was pretty certain it was complete with a 6100 monitor. Honestly though from the pics I couldn't even see the transformer but it turns out it was there. The seller was a pretty cool guy and said he received the machine as a wedding gift and it sat for 3 years in a warehouse before he was told he needed to come get it or it would be thrown out. I'd say the cab is probably a 6/10 and has some water damage to the bottom. The manuals were included though he showed me how a mouse had gotten a hold of it. Luckily the cab only smells musty and I can't smell any nasty urine smells like I have on other cabs. I did find the skeletal remains of a mouse inside so I'm a bit concerned about cleaning it. If anyone cares to share advice on cleaning and anything I need to be careful about in doing that I'd appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to power up and see what I have yet and I want to clean it up a bit first. As we always say pics or it didn't happen, so I'll try to get a few tonight or by tomorrow. The cab and board set are serial number 122. I think being complete it was an okay buy given the cab condition.
