STRP festival asked me to borrow a Retro Space to put on their event, but it will be in the pub/smoker section next to parties like Bloody Beetroots Deathcrew 77. Not the place I want to put a pristine cab.

Does anybody have a zombie-cab for sale? Preferably within say 300km from Eindhoven. I will create a custom CP and put a monitor inside, it should just be a cab. It may stink, it may be damaged, and it may not be a scarse classic that could be restored.

Do you need it for November or earlier?

The event is from november 18th, but I guess I need a week or 2 to put in some old CRT PC monitor and a bunch of sticks. It also depends on the condition. If it just needs mounting work, than 2 weeks in advance will be enough, if it needs new control panels etc, maybe a bit more.

Let's touch base early October if you haven't found anything else.
I might have what you're looking for by then.
I'm close to Brussels.

This question is hot again..
I need a cab that nobody wines about if it becomes a internet kiosk for displaying web-based games. Anybody anything for sale?

I found this on eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390445266833
Collection only from the UK though.
I enjoy reading about arcade cabinets. I don't own one though... :(

Guess I have to clearify:
- It must look like a classic cab
- Since I don't want to hurt collectors, It is preferably a cab that was made in the thousands
- Price does not have to be very low. 300-400€ for a nice one is better than ugly crap like Photoplays.
- It better not have a working monitor/PCB, otherwise it would be bad to throw that away.
- It must have a flat glass monitor window. There is an LCD getting inside, and the plastic CRT bezels are not compatible with totally flat displays.

Guess I had to start a new topic, as the purpose is slightly different.
