AWESOME MAN!
Free is always good. Especially when its fully functional. I am going to assume it was pre-wired for jamma and you put a MVS board and pulstar in it.
I got a free Bump n Jump cab once...someone was throwing it out. It needed a cap kit and all that and had no back door. At the time I didn't know that and I ended up trading it into an arcade shop a state over to get $60 off a Neo Geo 2 slot gold cab. Ah, live and learn
.
Thats a nice find though, where did you get it from?

It came with a MVS 1-slot... Pulstar is mine (didnt have any game cart in it). True it doesnt look like much but it is 100% functional. The coin mech has been removed and insert coin works by pressing that yellow button in the middle. I think I will buy some random jamma board and put it in it.
Tomorrow I am going to get another cab, but not a free one. I will put photos.
PS I got it from a friend whose family runs arcade business...

Just from the picture persepctive, I think the free cab actually looks it be in better shape than the one you paid for. That spraypain on the marquee glass looks awefull 
. Nice though. 2 cabs for the price of 1 is fantastic.

Is it wrong that I think both those cabs look sweet, ESPECIALLY the free one? That small cab looks super cool! I would love to have that little cab at my place.
Do you mind me asking how much you ended up paying the the other cab? I would slap a Neo two-slot Marquee in the top, and convert that bad-boy.

The red cab is so damn pretty! I would love to find me a cab like that to turn it into a lordsvale cab given that is not likely to find one in the USOk its not special, but hey, ITS FREE!!

For free and cheap cabs those look very clean. Great score.
A little love (and some new sticks/buttons) and those will be winners.
