Horrible deinstallation #1
This is a shot of the interior of the magnet.
You can see the interior covers are caked with dirt and grime.
The system was not covered or bubble-wrapped.
Another shot of the top of the magnet and what little protection was on it.

Here's a classic example of how some companies abuse deinstalled equipment. We purchased this unit (thankfully) as a parts system. Can you imagine having to try to rehabilitate it as a customer system?
Now as you look at this mess, ask yourself whether you'd like to try to reinstall equipment left in such a condition. There are other things we'd like to have shown you as well, but they were missing altogether from the delivery! Things like the console table, various phantom stands needed during installation, and more.
The Northeast US company responsible for this one appears on elsewhere on the wall as well as on dartboards in various dealer's offices around the country. They're still in business!
