[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 458013, member: 7379"] Thanks for the nice comments and suggestions. I do feel I should clarify something though. I posted the story mainly because I hoped it would be mildly interesting, and whilst yes, I certainly do wish I knew where the cabinets were today, my real regret and annoyance about parting with them is not having to let them go, it was that I wasn't able to offer them to members of this forum. My apologies if my original post didn't make that sufficiently clear. As far as trying to track them down today goes, unless by some fluke someone on this forum now owns one or more of them and also cares to share that fact with the rest of us, I have no intention of trying to locate them. I'm naturally as curious as hell to know where they are(!), however when I try to put myself in the shoes of one of the potential owners today and ask myself the question, 'How would I feel if the maker of my cabinet tried to find out where it was these days?' I start to feel uncomfortable. Some people wouldn't mind, but for others it could easily be seen as nosey and intrusive, if not downright suspicious! The fact that I know I would do nothing harmful or untoward with the information doesn't mean that the current owner would know that. And so I will be grown up about it and put a lid on my curiosity... But that certainly doesn't mean I won't continue to scan on-line photos of other people's collections in the hope of seeing one of them being put to good use :-) Oh, and subzero... LOVE that arcade machine! :-D [/QUOTE]
