Looking for several cabinets (Louisville, KY)
« on: March 15, 2010, 02:23:36 am »
A co-worker and I are looking to buy some empty cabs in restore-able condition.  between the two of us, we have a vacation coming up and are looking to get 2 standard cabinets and two cocktail cabinets

Unfortunatly, Louisville is not the best place to find these things.  We have already made plans to take a road trip to anywhere within a 5 hour radius at the end of june.  At this point, we're just looking for ideas on where to look. 

if anyone could point us to a vendor that sells just empty cabs we'd be much appreciative.

(and yes, there will be plenty of pictures)

These guys are just north of cincinnnati & they always have some cabinets for cheap....

This was his recent CL post:
I have 3 empty cabinets
1.) Mushiking light weight metal cabinet on wheels $50. Still has working thirteen inch monitor in it, great for a mini mame.
2.) Mario brothers cabinet $125. Has painted back glass and header, was converted to a Mortal Kombat, will play MK2 already if you have board, monitor works, cab works, just needs a pcb
3.) I have 2 one slot NEO GEO cabinet $60 only needs a monitor and to work and you get to pick a game that comes with it from our selection.

I'm in cinci if you don't want to drive as far.  I have a scramble cocktail with a brand new top glass for sale for 150 bucks.  Its in pretty good shape (I was going to sand / paint some of the metal, but other then that, for the age its great). 

Oh and I have a juke box if anyone wants it.  (paid 50 bucks for it... but would give it away if anyone wants it and going to use it for its intended purpose is.  Heck, for 25 bucks I would throw in the keywiz that its been wired for.

I've gotten rid of all my other empties in the last year..

thanks guys, at this point, we still have about 3 months before our vacation and we are looking at putting together a bulk-run, we're both basically wanting to fill our game rooms and our wives are basically giving us the "boys will be boys" treatment on this one.

Realistically we know the chances of finding someone with 4-6 empty cabs is pretty slim, but it never hurts to ask. I did send a message to the arcade legends guy but haven't gotten a response yet.

thanks again for the replies =] and lilwolf, ill be sending a pm shortly heh
