It looks so new it almost looks fake.

$500 is crazy. I'm sure he'll get that though. I'm sure I could make one for much less than that.

seems like the tinted glass would be the best and most important feature of it. for $500 i would think it should at least include the system

I remember seeing the tg-16 displayed in stores...we did a lot of traveling to the US when I was a kid, I am pretty sure I was in the US when I remember seeing them, so not sure what display was used.

Dam Sparky that looks SWEET!!!! I always wanted one but $500 for something that looks to good for 20year old stuff is bound to be a re-pro for sure or home made

Leave me that display in your will Sparky. Now I just have to hold out and not die before you. :twisted:

I can't believe the seller still has the box! :shock:

One day I'll get the measurements off you for this Sparky and try to build a replica.

ya man, i will do that for ya one day, i also owe tmlfan a replica of the logo for his plexie glass for his TG16 display :(. I guess gaming/collecting has taking a bit of a back seat these days & my kids are my focus right now :) i am not out just more distracted.

its not the correct box, if it was then id see the value at this price. If you read the box it clearly says "queen pcv footboard".

Of coarse it is not the original box, but the TG16 kiosk/display are damn rare, I am the only one that owns one that I know of over on the pce forum and we are nuts for tg16 stuff there :P.... & I was offered $1000 for mine and hell no I would not sell. :)

That said it definitely needs the plexie cover to make it more attractive for the price.

I was at a tire place today getting some tire put on my buddys camaro and the shop there has one there are using for a alighnment machine. I ask if they would sell it and the shop owner said no as what would he use to hold the machine. That and he told me im not the first to want to buy it. Its rough but still a decent cab still.

I swear I remember someone else here mentioning seeing one of these at a car shop, you probably went to the same one. :lol:
