Ah, I remember those. Usually some shithead had already ripped off all the buttons so nobody could play the damb thing.

Have you tried eBay? You probably score a bundle if you posted it on there. Especially if you cleaned up a little.

If I had the money, I'd clean it up, change the "Nintendo 64" graphic, mount a nice, flat screen TV up there, and make that a semi arcade cab.
And yea, uBid and eBay are your best bets. You'll probably make a heft sum on the shipping charges, alone.

I've thought about Ebay a few times over the years, but I don't know the best category to list it under. If I used Nintendo in the title it would just get lost in all the games. I've not been able to find anything like it online anywhere to even know the proper thing to call it. Plus the shipping would be outragious. It must weigh close to 300 pounds. As for cleaning it up... I gave up on it 3 years ago. If you look at the pics you can see I have no room at all in my garage.

That is so truly tempting. I have a friend who picked up a display unit for the XBox when the 360 came out.

I remember those. I have a minor question about the timer things that only let you play for so long before it reset on some machines. Was it built in, or how did it work?

Built in is my assesment. There was alot of wiring on this thing and some electrical gizmos that obviously did something.
I have a question for you Duke. Does your Perfect combination Megaoptitron have an alt mode?

His name is not Megaoptitron(though that is a cool name

), the name is Guiltor. Further more, Guiltor is an official fully canon character in the Transformers Universe, and NOT a fan creation. I am no artist, and there's no way I could come up with something that cool(I actually borrowed the cleaned up Guiltor image from an old sig someone made, but never used).
But anyway, to answer you question, yes he has an alt. mode, and Transforms:

Guiltor has a new fan! That's sweet and I now have a new kitbash to build.

I'm not sure how the older systems like the N64 worked but the newer systems that I have set up at Best Buy have a device called a "Medusa". It is an external device that plugs into the X-Box 360, PS3, X-Box, PS2, etc. that resets the system. Unless this cabinet is drastically different, you should be able to put a system in there and not have to worry about it resetting every 3 minutes.

I removed the internal wiring, so It is just the shell. Hook up your own system just like an entertainment system in your house.

Man that would be awesome to have in a bedroom as a TV display stand. Hook up a 30" LCD to it, pop a 360 in there with a good ventilation system, and hack off the controller connectors. Would be sweet.

Anybody who wants this can have it. You have to pay shipping though. It weighs 200+ pounds. Anybody in Tulsa, OK. want it and I'll deliver it for $25 bucks.
