That's why people don't change their cab, but go on building second and thirds :) I dunno. I couldn't just throw together a cab. My reasoning is that if I'm going to put a lot of work into it, I might as well give it my best shot.

Amen.

Howard_Casto:
Eh but you learn from experience as well. There is the cabinet you think you want, and the one you actually need. My main cab is more or less the same aside from some cosmetic improvments, but it's on it's third control panel and I'm thinking of doing it one more time to minimize the layout even more.

ChanceKJ:
Where as for my first cab I essentially built "noob bait" that's been recreated at least a dozen times now.

I'm strangely fine with that. ;D

Oh, I think the answer to that is rather obvious. The audience interested in this hobby primarily consists of people born in a very defined range, that I'd peg as 1970-1990 with a smattering of exceptions on either end of that. There's nobody new beating down the gates and everyone here has already done everything. JAMMA beater into a MAME cab? Found your holy grail? Restored a dedicated machine? Flirted with pinball? Bartops? Pedestals? We've all done it already. Now you can just throw money at someone to CNC them for you, so you don't even need a saw anymore.

Have been kind of surprised that the driving and dance machines never really got big around here, but console and PC gaming were so far along that the home versions can easily be superior for anyone interested. Maybe with Golden Tee finally emulated we'll see some more action there, and I think it's a matter of time before all of us mess around with an active marquee.

Speak for yourself, Because I still skip lunch for weeks on end to buy that "new part", I still stay up days on end for some silly project, I still cut everything on antique equipment, I still work on these games every day.... So yes so maybe I have done most everything on my list, But just don't believe others can just "Be done" at some point without sacrificing the love for it they once had.

pbj:
You are certainly special, Jennifer. Never a doubt in my mind.
