Any CRT cab not coming from another hobbyist is probably going to need work. Expect to have to put in time and money on these cabs, especially for this low price. Trust, as long as the monitor works- you can figure out the rest.

Thank you for this. I get a lot of people who don't really realize this. I've been taking the year to figure out my best policies and prices regarding candies, and nothing has been quite right yet.

I'll back you up on this, they are indeed in the works. If it were so easy to print on curved plastic, it would have been done long ago. Naysayers just be patient.
 
Man, I'd love one of those Q25's, but $800 + shipping for a project cab hurts.

Everything depends on what cab you are purchasing.

Limited cabs like the Q25 and a few others are simply hard to find parts for period, many don't have aftermarket solutions either. Massively produced cabs like Astros, Blasts, Naomi, and yes even E2s have more parts availability and aftermarket solutions.

The same goes with monitors. Some cabs use monitors that were used for more than one cabinet and are easier to find spares. Have other monitors that can bolt right in. Where some cabs are one offs and the only solution is finding a matching tube or fitting a replacement that isn't a straight bolt in solution.

For example: The easiest part to find on a Q25 is the QSound amp. It was used in multiple cabinets: Big Blue and Impress
 
Okay, update time. It's a good news bad news kind of post.

Good news:
1. All my E2 has been tested working. Button have been replace with new. They are wrap and ready to go. There is also an extra item thrown in. I'm not going to say what it is as I don't know the condition. Pics added to the drive

2. Windy have been tested working. Button still need to be change out and wrap. Some of these (6) will come with a generic jamma adapter. He is looking for more at his ware house to include them to the rest.

So-So news:
Still waiting on the Domy pics. Q25 still need to be tested again.

Bad news:
1. There is going to be a delay in shipment (reason below). I'll put the BC order last and will have to see what cabs get pack and fill the container accordingly.

2.There was a hickup with the NNC. They got converted for the Chinese market. They are still new looking but have a 220v psu and sound amp and a jamma harness. He will be swapping them out with used originals from his other NNC.

Just let me know where you stand so I can update the waitlist

@XeD I was looking at the waitlist to see where things sat and I saw two as unknown location!

Ekorz is East Coast, and 8bitforlife is west coast (Hawaii actually).
 
I'm still down for a windy 2. I assume the jvs-jamma adapters are luck of the draw. Either way, still in.

I say YES! That means @theoddtech as well since we'd be going up together!

Alright, sounds good. Will be good to meet with you guys and chop it up.

Only other consideration for local pick-up is if we can do this before the snow season sets in. Precipitation in NorCal/Reno Nevada happens about late December-early January as long as this happens by then and Cereth is ok for local pick-up, we should be good to go.
