Data East Cabinet Wanted - Hook Cabinet Preferred.
« on: October 26, 2010, 06:29:05 PM »
Guys,

I stumbled upon a 'very big project' DE Hook machine that needs a new cabinet and backbox.

Has anyone got any DE cabinets floating around, a Hook cab and backbox would be even better but anything will do to start with.  Not worried about the state of the artwork but I would like something structurally sound.

Cheers.

That should have pintoxicated looked after.

I'm also looking for a few cabs
I could use Cabs for Fly High (Supersonic) 79 Bally's,
Bad Cats (have populated playfield coming from Tony) 89 Williams,
and any new
Williams cab (custom project)

If you can help, message me with location and price.

Thanks,

Blair, you'll be lucky there at 240 if they still have it. That page is as old as the hills.

So is their stock.  It was still there believe it or not.   $#$

I think John got the shock of his life when I asked about it and said I'd take it.  Apparently it had been there for close to 10 years he reckons.  It is damaged but not as badly as the current one so for $20 I can't lose.  There is a backbox as well, the back apparently needs replacing but it's all good.  Thanks again Chad for the lead.

$20! Who friggin cares at that price.

Seen the pics of the machine - if the art on the cab is half okay - you are truly laughing!

Tinarse!  ^^^

Edit: pics of cab hadn't come up when I posted this... (Joys of wireless internet) :)

That is more than okay for 20 bucks!

Yeah I have been more than lucky so far with this machine.  I am stoked with the cabinet.  It's actually coming together much quicker than I thought it would which is another bonus.

Which will consist of mainly 2 bottles of Nifti! (The restore)  :D

This will come up nicely for what you paid for it!  ^^^


As others have said: another one back from the brink.

Good one.  *%*
