I need some advice here. I currently have a gutted Operation Wolf cabinet in so-so shape which I got for free. The problem is it's only 24" wide so I can't fit any 25" or 27" TV's without some SERIOUS routing of the sides of the cabinet. That's do-able, but since the sides are a bit old and rather flimsy particle board, I could be weakening the cabinet too much. I don't like the prospects there.
So today I contacted a local amusement vendor who said he has a game inisde a Dynamo 25" arcade cabinet. He said he'd take the game and the monitor out and sell it to me for $100. It'd have the operational coin door, wiring harness, etc. It's presumably in better condition than the one I have right now, but I need to get details on that.
So I'm probably going to take a look at this $100 cabinet soon, but I was wondering if it sounds like a good deal or not. $100 is a bit more than I thought I'd be paying, but if it's in good condition, has a working coin door, and fits a larger TV or monitor, I thought it might be worth the extra cash. Plus I'd save the labor of fixing up the scratches and dents in my current cabinet.
So assuming it's in fair condition, is this a good deal?
