    I don't know how reliable they are but their brand new and might suit somebody for that money. Would you still get the old 3 warranty with them?;)

    They're likely Jasper models, so probably more reliable than even the new Slims. And even more importantly, they could be jtaggable ;)

    Should be by year, look for the Lot Number, it should be something like this, 0843x, 08 indicating the year they were made in and 43 the week. Should also be 12.1amps.

    But Some of the branding on the box has been flawed over the years! :D

    Go for it man. I can't see the end price rising much higher than that.

    It's in the watch list. I think I can live without food for the rest of the month anyway. Fecking car tax and a lavish bank holiday weekend threw my budget way off this month :(

    Hah! Now there's a good question. Might be an idea to ask him for a photo/video of the monitor on.

    Indeed..in the process now.
    Would be deadly to have a dedicated driving cab though
    Touring cars was model 2? So this would be a JVS cab rather than Jamma yeah?
    If it worked you could whack daytona or sega rally into it as well

    Sure why not just ask him can you take it for a test drive(excuse the pun), if your not to far from him. I know i would if i was going to bid.

    I'd be very careful about bidding on that cab so early, its really not worth that much & all the early excitement could over-value it. My top money on that cab, given its condition, assuming its working, would be about €150/€200 max

    Yep agreed..just rare to see dedicated stand up driving cab on the market.
    Really want one...model 2 makes it all the better..the best platform bar none for arcade driving games.if monitor works I'm in.

    Kinda limited to driving games though that is if its you're only cab. Would make a nice second cab :)

    Agreed, its the perfect 2nd cab. For your first, ideally you should go for the most versatile setup like a 6 button Jamma setup

    I remember playing one in a shop in London about 6 or 7 years ago. Think it was selling at 1500. Which probably explains that auction price. Youd get a new astro city delivered from ronnie for about 850

    Oh wow, 1500 was conservative enough!
