email me at ashardin@yahoo.com

I've got something sitting in my garage that will work great, but its a working machine (monitor and all) so it will be more than $50.

Its the generic Tatio cab from the early 80's.  I've built 4 machines using this cab, I've got it sitting around for a future project but I just got a sit down cab so this is taking up space.

I'm located in Oswego, 1 hour from the city with moderate traffic.

I have a finished Mame cab in my garage for sale.  I can post pics if you would like.  I finished it but it's too big for my basement. Its really nice. (25 inch EGA Arcade Monitor - P4 1.7 Ghz  with 30 gig drive running advmame and advmenu)  Really nice sideart and bezel I made for it. Im located in Napeville, IL.
I also have a 33 inch cab also. I can post pics to you.

Just chiming in, I guess ...

Born and raised in Harvard, Illinois - most of my family still lives in Capron and Loves Park.

P.S. I have an empty Tempest cab in my garage waiting on restoration (or conversion) -- whatever. But I guess Jacksonville, FL is a bit too far for you to go.  :P

In Atlanta now but grew up in Libertyville, Il.  Lived in Hyde Park, Belmont / Sheffield area, and loft district near Maxwell st. also.  My Mom grew up in Cicero and my Grandma used to work for the Seeburg Jukebox Factory.  Man I miss the Belmont rocks in summer.  


Not my post but here is a free cab in Chi

HEY Everyone,

SMALLER PICTURES PEOPLE!!!

Set it to 72 dpi and then when setting the width, consider that most people are using 1024 pixels wide.
NO MORE!!
