Op Raid: March 2014
- Thread starter Milky

God it's depressing looking at that photo of Big Run. Suffice to say I took delivery of it today and the base has been rather violently ripped away from the cab. Apparently it was like that when Martin picked it up. The wood is totally destroyed, it'll need a new base and probably lots of brackets or extra wooden runners to put it back together.
I'd guess it was leaned back and the pedal area caught on something.

That one was in the back office, it looked in superb condition but I didn't ever see it moved so perhaps that wasn't noticable when we looked at it.
Thats the sort of thing that happens to me
The last machines I had were scrap, total scrap, the back side of the cab had a big chunk missing out of it, control panel painted red, the monitors in both had screen burn and I think both tubes were shot, poor picture and out of focus, I'm guessing the boards are probably faulty, the steering wheels were crap, there was pretty much nothing I could sell from them apart from the wheel mechs
Good job I only wanted the 3D glasses, cost enough though

This is the gamble you take, without seeing something and committing to buying it
My last cab had virtually everything broken - PCB, monitor, tube, power supply, switcher, and the cab wasn't in the best of conditions either with rust.
I guess the difference is whether it is salvageable or not, and whether you are prepared to do work on it, and spend more money that what is is probably worth to resell
I hope you can get yours sorted
