Title: Help on migrating slant top to upright PE+ or ???
Post by: josie88 on January 26, 2009, 01:46:41 AM
I have the opportunity to buy an PE+ superboard slant top but the cabinet is thoroughly trashed (numerous scratches, dents, broken glass, gold plated top rusted) and it needs a new monitor. I have three strategies here - a new slant top cabinet, repair the existing cabinet, or migrate to a standup cabinet.

What is the value of the item in it's current condition?
Which strategy makes sense?

Thanks for any input.

Moving the monitor and boards to a upright cabinet would not be too difficult if you had the cabinet.
The biggest hassle is the coin handling as the slants use an elevator and a different hopper.
You could probably move the bill head, and cash can but you might need to get a transport mech that fits the upright.
I am thinking that the migration might end up nickle and dimeing you to death.

If you check out Terrys add in the classifieds he has a ton of PE+ uprights for sale. Not sure what the price was but it appeared to be a steal.
He was offering S+'s at $300 and the PEs probably are not a lot more.
