Dacula, GA
If anybody else wants a nice kit to cut down either a "Live" cabinet, or a "Fore" cabinet., let me know. I sell these and they are the nicest looking conversion for someone who is not a skilled woodworker.

Now that my construction business has gotten back to where it needs to be in the last couple of years, I am actually looking to sell my entire cabinet conversion business. My asking price is actually less that the selling price of existing inventory. The mould is in excellent shape and has a lifespan of more cabinets than exist(lol). It may be up someones alley here. Transfer cabinets from I.T. are pretty pricey.

I have kicked Smart Game Parts back up, and am selling individual Cabinet conversion kits. "LIVE" or "FORE" kits. Thanks for looking, and email me privately if you want one or multiples for a lower price than on Ebay.

If any folks get a group together to buy multiples of at least 2 units shipped, I will sell my cabinet conversion kits to this forum for $350.00 per unit shipped on "Live" kits, and $390.00 per unit plus $25.00 shipping of "Fore" style cabinet kits. The "Fore" kit has to ship in a custom box because of the extra attached piece, hence the increased price. That is $150.00 off of regular price of "Live" and $110.00 off of "Fore".
Thanks,
Tom

I have posted here before but I try not to over do it. If anyone or a group in this club want to buy the entire lock stock and barrel, I will sell for $11,000.00. It appears that there are enough members here on pinside GT club, to take existing inventory and more than make back investment $. I still get straggler orders from my operator customers, and from Happ Controls referrals that also benefit buyer. Create a website and solicit operators every time you see an upright in a location.

In the last month I have sold 11 cabinet conversion kits (7 "Live" and 4 "Fore"), so i am now more flexible on selling the entire kit and kabootle. All moulds for future production, all standing inventory(more than pay for purchase price), known operator customer emails, and all patent rights. See Ebay auction for more detailed information.

Quoted from ATHiker:So could someone tell me what you notice about this unit that is good or bad? I know it’s not a pedestal, which I’d like, but if I could get this at a fair price what would that be in your opinion? Also while this is a 2018 unit, what do you think is the actual year of the until based on the red face around the trackball?

Quoted from ATHiker:Thanks for the offer nascarrey. I may want to take you up on that offer just to know what I’m getting into before making any commitments.
On a different note, I decided that I’m not going to get the non-pedestal of the game. The thing would just weigh to much and be a pain in the butt to move compared to a pedestal version.
The kit is specifically designed for this, and only takes about 3 hours to do. Generally speaking the uprights can be had much cheaper than a dedicated pedestal, so if you can get the upright cheap, my kit will have you "Golden"

Moving now and have no more time for this business. If anyone on this forum wants the entire deal, $10,000.00 takes it all. The mould, and more important in the immediate term, all standing inventory. There are probably more than 20 or 30 folks here that have uprights. Standing inventory is at least 25 GT "Live" bezels, and 25 or 30 GT "Fore" bezels, and at least that many mylar templates. Turn any I.T. factory upright cabinet into a nice looking pedestal..
Below is the current price list from I.T., and reflects that the cheapest option for transferring your computer and vault coin door from your upright cabinet is $1395.00 plus freight!!! The current Game Part Smart cabinet conversion kit is $500.00 for the Live kit, and $550.00 for the Fore kit.

I do not mean to spam this thread, but somebody could make a nice amount of $ while providing a good service. I am not a member of Facebook, but it seems as if very active there, in regards to GT Live. The upright cabinet conversion business that I have for sale would be a boon.

Never posted any before an after photos of my Kit, but wanted folks to see. Have yet to have a dissatisfied customer. This is a "Live" cabinet kit, but I have "Fore" cabinet conversion kits also. Here is a link to Ebay, but for anybody on this forum, I will sell "Live" kit for $450.00 to $475.00 shipped, and "Fore" kit for $525.00 to $550.00 shipped (Oversized box, lower price is East Of Mississippi, $25.00 more West).

GT Live enthusiasts wanted to throw this out there again. The rest of my inventory of GT "Live" and "Fore" cabinet conversion kits. I still have residual sales of about 6 to 8 a year just from past sales, without any advertising, and I am moving soon, so this stuff really needs to go to a new owner. All standing kits, probably 24 "Live" kits and 20 "Fore" kits, and the original mold that I had engineered. $7500.00 for the entire shooting match. 3 hour conversion from an upright to a pedestal.

Quarterly post. I have my entire cabinet conversion kit turnkey business for sale. Without any advertising, I still sell a couple a month. Entire business for $9000.00. Mound, standing inventory(bezels, hardware, templates). Great side business, still a ton of “Live” and “Fore” upright cabinets out there.

I am moving in early November, so the turnkey cabinet conversion stock has to go. This is all the remaining inventory of bezels, cabinet templates, and any hardware that I may still have. PM me if interested, as I will do a screaming deal for the entire shooting match(mould included). Here is the link to the Ebay ad. disregard price, just use as reference, to what this is. I will also forward any future purchase inquiries (I sell 6 to 10 a year without doing any advertising whatsoever). I would say I have at least 20 of each bezel(GT Fore style and GT Live style) maybe more, and at least as many of both cabinet templates.
PM me if you are interested in the whole deal. Actually the website domain name for the original selling site is still available also.
Quoted from brainmegaphone:I just came onto this thread to complain that I have to move one of these Golden Tee Fore 2005 cabinets into my basement (about 6 bulkhead stairs). I do have an escalara but I'm working to get the monitor and drawer out first. They do not leave much room to pull that monitor out around the bezel area do they? WOW!
Love the game but why does it have to be the heaviest arcade cabinet I've ever moved?
Any tips for monitor removal greatly appreciated!
You are precisely the candidate I developed the kit for. If you are removing the monitor, you might as well just cut the cabinet down to a pedestal.

PM if you want one cheaper, or the entire turnkey business.

Reminder post about upright cabinet conversion kits. Getting prepared to move out of current home. Looking to sell remaining inventory and mould to produce more bezels. I am including the link to the Ebay listing, but this is a turnkey business, to sell conversion kits for upright cabinets. This is a steal for any operator or GT enthusiasts who want to convert upright cabinets economical. I have 13 "Live" kits and 22 "Fore" kits remaining. The entire deal can either be purchased or I will trade for pinball(s). Link to Ebay listing:

If to a pinsider, the entire kit and kabootle will go for $8000.00. That is about $230.00 per kit for just current remaining inventory. For pretty much the price of a NIB Premium pinball, this is a turnkey business. I get 5 to 7 sales per year, just sitting, from previous sales. Mould is copywrited and previous website domain is still available. My new home construction company is back to where it needs to be,and that in addition to moving myself, affords this offer.
Wanted to post pics of a Live conversion. These 2 are going to Sevierville Tn. auction on Saturday. They are for sale, but mainly wanted all to see pics of the conversion. Complete game(stand, monitor, the entire unit) can be bought for $3000.00.

Quoted from northvibe:I have a friend who may be able to get me a "broken" golden tee complete. Looks like it has the early 2000's games on it and a huge cab. Is cutting the original cab to a pedestal as easy as the YT videos hint at? Is this even worth monkeying with?
If you get for free, my kit will give you a fine pedestal. Now populating the cabinet with the desired system is a separate operation, but you can certainly assemble a current game cheaper than buying new. All depends on how resourceful you are.

Quoted from PinHigh1:I cant upgrade from 2004 to LIVE...are you saying I can get a net new pre-owned LIVE game for just 600? If so...thats a thought.
Thats not what I am saying, it's an analogy, meaning that an interested player should upgrade to "Live" as opposed to paying 500 to get a "Complete" board.

Quoted from elcolonel:Have 1 more GT Live 2021, dedicated pedestal with stand and monitor(commercial model) for sale, before trade in. PM me if interested.
I will post some pics on Tuesday. I am going to play this for a while, then bring to auction. It is for sale so pm if interested.

Quoted from smalltownguy2:Yes, running 2021. Hardware inside is customizable by the buyer among the half-dozen supported motherboards and 4 supported graphics cards. I have pretty much one of everything to choose from in my collection. The $2700 stated price will likely get you a DG41 or similar board with a GT640, which will have you running in 1080p.
Here's a few more pics of my cut-down work. It's not easy to do it correctly.

Very good job! It takes a lot of work to do that. The kit I designed and manufactured is precisely to do that without being a skilled wood worker. I had to design the kit so that the average operator shop guy could go at it with a Sawzall and do it in 3 to 4 hours. I never had any complaints, and Suzo Happ distributed them for about 4 years.

For Golden T folks here in metro Atlanta, Winston's on Sandy Plains Rd. will have a PGA going in tomorrow of Friday. The operator putting it out is one of 10,on the I.T. advisory committee, so he got one early. My understanding is that the supply chain issues will delay mass production until spring of 2022, so besides test units in the greater Chicago area, this will be 1 of 10 out on the streets until next spring.

Have 3 GT Live 2021 dedicated commercial pedestal units with monitors. Operated, well maintained, swapped out for PGA'S. Suitable for home use, or certainly, to plop right out on a route as they sit! No fire sale but certainly fair on price, based on auction sales, in the last 3 months. $3800 per rig.

Still have 1 left immediately, will be able to pull another rig, early next week. This is a good way to break into the club.

I haven't posted about this for a year at least so here goes. I am remodeling my house and basically everything has to come out. The upright cabinet conversation kits that I sold for years, and was distributed by Suzo/Happ for a time, needs to go. I have the original mould, which is good to stamp out endless more bezels, and quite a bit of standing inventory. I still sell 6 or 7 a year just by accident(a perpetual Ebay listing and repeat customers). Turnkey business or if enough of you enthusiasts have upright Live or Fore cabinets. I have bezels and templates. Looks like I have 23 Fore bezels and 6 Live bezels, and plenty of mylar templates, and the Fore bezels can be easily modified back to do Live cabinets. Whatever hardware I have left will be included also. Let's say 5 grand for the entire shooting match.

Quoted from elcolonel:Will have at least 2 full 2022 commercial rigs(pedestal, monitor, and stand) going to Sevierville on the 19th. Contact to buy prior.
In addition to the 2 full GT rigs going, will have some nice jukeboxes, and Stern Avengers pin and some ATMs.
