Astro City cabs


Recommended Posts

I picked up these 2 Astro City cabs recently for free. As you can see, they are rough and incomplete. I bought a key to unlock the door and control panel locks today, I plan to strip both cabs and give them a thorough scrub. I am unsure whether I will (a) use the best parts of both cabs to build 1 complete cab (and keep the other cab for spares), or (b) restore both cabs. Fun times ahead!

I would love to have 1 horizontal cab and 1 vertical cab. I really like the look of the Astro City cabs, especially when they sit side by side! I just have to convince SWMBO that I will get them working instead of sitting in the corner gathering dust like all of my other projects!

 

Are Astro City parts easy to source? :unsure

 

Cheers,

Matthew

Depends on what you need - dragonlee is probably the best person on here to ask about candy cabs from what I can tell. He has a bunch of them and restores them regularly.

Would like to help but ive been burnt before from other AA members.GL restoring them.

That's not good mate, sorry to hear that. I restored an astro city myself a while ago. Decent cabinet to work on.

Easy to work with but parts are hard to get these days especially in that condition..Like I said Gl

That's not what I wanted to hear! Oh well, I'll see how far I can get before defeat. It has only cost me (so far) $10 in petrol to collect the cabs and $22 for the key, so no huge outlay yet. I enjoy a challenge!

You need at least $600 to restore both of them which includes chassis rebuild

I expected a figure like that, so it is more likely I will try and restore them one at a time, if I can restore them at all. How do you know they need a chassis rebuild?

Try and restore them..

Then if you struggle then come and see me but I bet you have already received pm about them if you want to offload them.
