Description says the door hinges are incomplete and it keeps calling the box just that, a box, doesn't talk about anything inside of it. It's probably worth asking the seller these things before bidding.

Regardless, at least you'll get a cool box.

Good thing I didn't bid on it! :blink:

I think it is empty, the seller didn't specify that anything was inside of it so one would assume.
Either way it is a nice little flasher cabinet.

There's plenty of room to add a "light's to go" controller. :crazy:

Nice Cabinet. :thumbsup:

I had asked the seller for a shot of the hinge side to determine if it was just a missing pin or if the hinge was broken. Just a pin. He also had a shot of the conduit hole in the top looking through a hole in the bottom. Looked empty to me.

I like that style door and had planned to get a bid in but computer issues knocked me off line at lunch. I thought it was a fair price for empty.

Not a bad deal for a small cabinet with the lock too! I paid about that for my empty TSI box that was missing the lock and has 4 holes drilled in the front door when someone drilled out the lock's screws from the front! I'm going to have it fixed after I finish the backyard TSI project. Like everyone said, great for a LTG or a flasher.
