Ok as it is, I have an old Run N Gun as the starting point for my MAME. But I found another cabinet (Simpsons) with a larger monitor and a better support system for a 4-player CP for fairly cheap. It's not in great shape, but neither was the Run N Gun. I'm working on a limited budget and with a very limited skill set here. If my PC doesn't end up needing a ton of parts to get up to speed, then I could likely afford the new cabinet. The problem would be that I'd end up with a bunch of extra parts. So my questions are these.
1) Would it be worth getting the Simpsons cabinet at all or do I have a pretty good base already?
2) Is it fairly easy to get rid spare parts in the event I did buy the two?
3) Would it help me fund this at all or is the demand for the extras I have too low? I will end up with 2 Marquees, 2 Jamma boards, and an extra cabinet with doors and stuff, and a 19" monitor that has a bit of pink on the corner, plus maybe some other parts.
