Ready to buy generic cabinet? Quarter mechs?

Are there ready-to-buy pre-cut arcade cabinets? Unpainted is fine.
If you build an emulator cabinet, can it still use quarter mechs? Arcade crt?

There are many who sell just the panels mostly for bartops though, the quarter mech is just a device that acts like pressing a button when money is inserted, and you should go with lcd led panel it has no maintenance and easely replaceable and much longer lifespan

I have more than 30 CRTs. They are 30 to 40 years old. They all work.

I had to fix a couple of them when I got them, but they have been trouble free since then.

This is a factually incorrect statement for multiple reasons.

The only correct part is that LCDs are easily replaceable.
