FREE to good home

Have 2 arcade cabs to give away. Getting prepped for interstate move. Located outer east Melbourne

Would love one but have no idea how to get it back to working. Btw where does that gas cylinder plug into the cab?

Works like the old Kero fridge

I'll take them!

Cheers,

Id take the other if Matt doesn't need both??

[rustalan]

done and dusted 

[felixthadog]

The machines made it home, I'm looking forward to sprucing them up. A huge thanks to rustalan for his generous offerings 

Cheers,
Matthew

Interesting that you decided to keep both for only 11 days before realising you were out of your depth on these and rather than offer one to me (which I asked the OP if you would be kind enough to do), you have passed them onto someone else who will re-sell now to a nobody rather than allow me to have a chance at restoring one!!

Hmmmm....not sure you should be given free stuff again personally! Wonder if the OP gives a....

If this is what has happened then I agree totally with you Intopins - that's rough!!

Agree, if that's what happend totally not in the spirit of this forum or the generous offer of the original owners.

[intopins]

Yep, exactly what happened. Now the new owner has the gall to let ppl know he has pre-sold them already for $500+!!!

I know if I have a free to good home ad, it'll read 'free to good home only $1000'

My apologies to all, I did not deliberately set out to collect these machines and then sell them on. My plan was to restore them and keep them for myself, however on closer inspection I realised how much work (and spare parts) I would need to put into the restoration and decided it was too difficult for me. I spoke to an AA member who offered to buy the cabs from me and sell one back to me after it had been restored. I thought this was a much better solution than me trying to do the restoration myself. I am sorry if what I have done is considered poor form, I did not know there were rules about what a person can and can't do with arcade machines once in their possession. I'll make sure I don't put my hand up for free stuff again.

No one is saying you need permission to do what you did. But to sell and make a profit from a freebie when someone with no intent on profiting and hoping to enjoy a game they restored was indeed poor form. That was the problem. I think people don't like members making a quick profit on a flicking freebie, maybe if you restored it and then sold on would not have been fround upon as badly.
