Possible Group Buy of CyberLead Arcade Cabs US Only

[NipRing]

First off, i'd need to gauge interest. If your from the states and are interested please post in this thread. The rough details are as follows:
I've been corresponding with and amusement dealer from Australia who has (indirectly) a very large supply of CyberLead cabs that they get directly from Namco.
All cabinets are in very good used condition. All are 2 player each with 6 bottons. All have the dual res 29" monitor and are all wired JAMMA standard. All you'd need is a MoBo.
Port of Delivery is Chicago. Naturally, price depends on how many units are ordered. But i was told a full 40' container of these (approx. 60 units :shock: ) would cost $415 each and shipping would be $75 for each. A 20' container of them (approx 28 units) would cost $450 each plus the $75 for S&H each.
I was thinking if (among a fehw web sites) I could garner interest from approx 20-25 people the cost sould be fairly close to the $525 each.
I specifically asked about any other cost that might not have been mentioned. The $525 per unit would bring them directly from Namco of Japan to the Port of Chicago.
Quoted from vendo- "All machines will be 2 player machines and the only additional costs
would be the local USA costs (cost to pickup the container from the
depot/delivery, unpacking and any taxation you need to pay). Generally
speaking the cabinets will all be the same except maybe there will be some
differences in the button layout. With this we can make a request to
have same buttons or can order extra buttons to make the machines
complete."
As far as the local costs, i'm looking into that.

And that's where I'm at with this. Reply if possibly interested.

thanks

Damn, for $400 I would definately buy one of those.

I may be interested depending on the time that this would be done. Also, I would need to guarantee that the monitor was in good working order. I really need a cabinet to put Battle Balls into.

Is there anywhere else with more information on these cabs?

My god, that thing is beautiful.

Unfortunately, I've no money to spare...nor space...and no games to put in it at the moment. :/

Best of luck on that.

If I didn't have to pay shipping from Chicago to Boston on top of it, then I'd happily add another candy to the fold. Alas. Good luck!
