I have a weak for old arcade cabinets who are broken and left alone
The more they are broken and neglected the more I love it
So I found a monaco gp
Appointment made on the internet and I could leave
First stop is a cab that doesn't work with a double dragon pcb in it
I still don't know what I will do with it (maybe use as donor Cabinet)
Now I went to my head price of the day
This cabinet stood on a construction company outside
Between stones and beams, and all other building material
All alone and abandoned
It was love at first sight
I wanted to save this cabinet
The problem started not got his machine in motion to make room for the cab to come out
While he was trying to get it gone we started talking
This cabinet happens to be in his possession after he had exchanged it with something else he don't remember any more
He has the cab put there and not looked back
He wanted to sell it before he wore them to the container park
Once his machine started it went quickly
Took the cab on the machine and loaded it in the trailer
This cabinet is still looking complete and (he says) that she still works
I will not take any chances and take lots of pictures and lots of cleaning first before I plug it in
I have again one saved from the death and so my quest continues on looking for other cabinets with a story and almost a sad ending
