This is an original two slot cab that I brought back to life. 25" monitor looks great. Did a cap kit a couple months back and fixed the colors.
Replaced the sides with a glossy red vinyl. It is really bright. I messed up a little near the bottom, but I'm giving you enough of the vinyl to do one side over if you want. The T molding is new and in excellent condition.
Buttons and sticks are like new with not much use.
Anything that was metal (control panel, marquee frame, etc.) was repainted with gloss black.
New locks, keyed alike. Still need proper bar for the coin door.
Coin mechs work, credit LED's work, Speakers work.
Added steel corner protectors.
Fluorescent bulb starts and lights up. Doesn't go out (ballast ok).
Original serial number sticker still intact.
Did a little housekeeping inside the cab as well. New red vinyl on the inside and moved the monitor geometry controls to the sidewall.

As far as the four slot board goes:
Removed the original ni-cad battery and mounted a remote battery pack.
Comes with US and JAP BIOS chips.
Painted the steel cover gloss black.
Volume sliders work, no damaged components.

This unit comes with a jap Baseball Stars Professional and some misc. mini marquees.

Well, you can see for yourself in the pics.

The Front
The inside
Pic before I tweaked the monitor and added corner protectors.

Here's a list of very minor bad things:

Very light burn-in of the credit counter on screen. You can only see it when the machine is off and you don't have the smoked glass in place. When on, the colors are great and the clarity is also great.
Missing a leveler foot on one corner. Stud is still there, just needs the foot.
Power supply works, but probably needs a replacement soon. Maybe it won't, but it just looks like it has been through the wringer.
There is a small voltage leak somewhere. Placing your finger in the right place on the control panel will give you a little tickle. I wanted to get that fixed, but it just didn't bother me enough.

I put a lot of work into this cab and would like to get $400 out of it with the 4 slot board and game. If you are only interested in the cab, we can probably make a deal, but any offers for the whole package will take priority.

I'm in northeast Indiana. This puts me about 3 hours from Detroit, 3.5-4 hours from Cleveland, 2.5 hours to Chicago (depending on traffic), 1.75 hours from Lansing, about 2 hours to Indy, and 3.5 hours to Columbus, OH.

It's Christmas, and I'm not at work this week. I will only be able to check my email and PM's once in a while. I will check them a couple times a day. Thanks.

That looks excellent. Nice job on the restoration. Not a terrible price either, IMO.

Damnit, if this was the summer (and I had moved back to MI by then) I would totally snag this. Really looks good, great job with the cab.

Well, if this is still around come June...

Thanks for the comments, guys. Hoping someone on the forums will take it within the next couple weeks. If not, it'll go up for auction on the bay.

OK, some things happened yesterday and I'm going to need to speed things up a little. $375 for the whole package for forum members.

January 2nd it is going on ebay. I'll post a link if we have to go that far.

I received a PM regarding shipping. I'm not shipping this. Thanks for your interest thus far.

I would also consider partial trade/trade for a decent PC or any dvb satellite receivers (FTA receivers). I'd like to get a 3+GHz Celeron or something similar. I'm running a 166MHz Pentium at the moment here at home. Don't laugh. It gets me to the forum.

God, if I had my car with me I'd drive down and pick it up and have it wait for me for a few months.

Damnit.

Good luck with the sale man, the cab looks great and that is a great price as well.

How far into MI are you? I could throw it into the van and take it up there for a fair fee.

Forum member is going to be picking this up on Sunday which is why I never listed it on ebay.

If something goes terribly wrong with the deal then I'll list it.

Also, I installed a new power supply.
