Damn must be nice. I'm yet to see one in person. They're sick lookin cabs, but definitely are way cooler with the low-boy upgrade.

Really bill,

I actually prefer the stand up model.

Either way it's a sick cab.

Why would anyone do this, both those cabs deserved better. From a collector of arcade game view point I'm just depressed to see this

I remember seeing an abandoned xevious cab by a dumpster while in Tallahassee about a year ago. I would have snatched it if I were in my pickup.

It sucks to see abandoned cabs.:crying:

My guess is some dudes were mad drunk at a pub, got pissed at the game and ripped the control panel up from teh joysticks on both sides.

probably. I've abused some cabs to death when I was younger for those reasons. Never a neo geo machine, but definitely others. All you need is a sloppy arcade manager to not keep the machiens in good order and it's suddenly open season.

No kidding, the 4 slot I rescued from the Jersey shore had "Money G" carved into the sideart with what had to have been a knife.

I am assumming the monitors are gone but it looks like the over all structure of the cabs are intact, these thing when ever the pic was taken were salvageable assuming you can get a replacement monitor for the naomi cab.

I can not see the condition of the rally cab but why did they throw out the naomi one, a torn up control panel is easy to replace.

That is some serious button mashing.

Chances are the owner was too naive to know that you can replace the control panel. He probably thought it was a lost cause.

Although I could be completely wrong about the story i just made up for this cab, it makes sense tho.

To be Trashed: Jersey Shore(years ago)

Those dynamo cabs are a BITCH to move. Oh my god.... it took us maybe 2 hours of solid work to get it through the basement door at my brother-inlaws house.

I wonder why that one was being trashed... probably faulty chassis and the dumb-ass op deemed it junk.
