As good a time as any to re-plug an old project... why not put yourselves on the UK map?

Wondering how all the UK builds are going + weather anyone's found a way yet to get coin doors as cheaply in the states?

Oh cool. In that case, does anyone know anywhere (or anyone) that makes custom cabs still? I'm looking for a bartop suitable for an X-Arcade but I'm having zero luck in the UK finding anyone. Full thread is here - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=143587.0

Erm, that would be no.

I once found an absolute battered coin door - was so poor that I would probably end-up replacing everything, but he wanted like £35 for it, and wouldn't budge.

Pathetic.

I had a few questions for the UK group but this thread seems dead and there doesn't appear to be one that has superseded it. Anyone still around?



I've been away from here but still heavily involved in the scene for the last few years. I've been meaning to get more involved over here again and I plan on doing so.

Hopefully extending the house in the next few months and should have a decent games room. I'm thinking of adding a nice vPin to my lineup so I'll make sure I document it here  :)

Hrm, maybe. There are places online I can send the plans for them to cut out the parts though (I think it may be too large for your router).

I'm trying to minimise the DIY aspect of this as much as possible as I'm 95% sure I'd balls it up.
