I thought that I'd give a report on some of the games I'd seen recently in person that are currently listed on the classifieds. Just yesterday I went out to Riverton to see the cabinets that Sam is selling on KSL (Mortal Kombat 3 in a generic cab, Rastan, A.P.B.), and they were a little disappointing. The MK3 cab is pretty beat up, but structurally ok, but the monitor is suffering from some geometry issues. I guess that wouldn't be too hard to work on. The Rastan wouldn't fire up, and you could see a good amount of burn-in on the monitor. The A.P.B. is what took me out there. It plays well, but the cabinet is very dirty. It's been sitting in his shop and is covered in grime. You get restore it, but you'd be looking at a full artwork replacement and a lot of cleaning up.

The most disappointing part was the price. After negotiating a "price break" for taking all three he wanted $1000. Individually he wanted at least $400 each, with the A.P.B. being "significantly" more.

If anybody wants an A.P.B. bad enough, you can check it out. I just found it to be too much. The MK3 and Rastan probably aren't worth the time unless you can talk the price down.

Sorry, that went kind of long...I just figured that if we shared info on cabs we had checked out we might be able to save each other a bit of driving and time.
