Didn't he say that any cabs that didn't sell would head back to the US?

Then spotted this thread over on KLOV about someone picking one up:

really? wouldn't that have been stupid since the games were already in germany?

saw that thread as well, that's what got me thinking of the CSB again. if it is indeed the same cabinet, i will kick myself in the butt even more :'(

Shipping 1 machine to USA cost over 1000euro, so for sure it was never sent back to USA.

After all the mess, I know Thomas had few machines left in Europe. I gave me a list I published here but nobody never took them.
Some people also alerted me about machines for sale in USA that were his.

I guess we will never know...

I've seen one for sale on ebay uk, mentioned here, but unfortunately didn't kept the pictures/details... If I remember well, that one was cut in the middle, almost like a bartop... weird!  ::)

Ully, this showed up in my YouTube stream today. He recently purchased it.. Could it be the one you're looking for?

It has the same credit button above the coin return! And the same wear spot on the control panel edge! :shock:
