WTB - Cabinet shell Western Sydney area - Australia

[darkodin]

Anyone have or know where I could get a gutted arcade machine (no monitor,
wiring, anything, doesn't even have to have coin slot) in the Western Sydney
area for under $100 AU?

Msg me. Inc. Photos if you have 'em.

I got mine from a guy called Kev that sells cabinets in Kingswood. He runs two ads each week in the Trading Post so you can get his numbers there. He has quite a few to choose from and is a nice guy to deal with.

Now here's the bad news - he's generally expensive. He will tell you cab's start from about $300-$1500 but when I went there there were some for less, just pretty hammered.

However, since I accquired mine he's begun selling (mainly parts) on ebay under the name "coinoppkev" and you can check out a current auction and contact him here:

I paid $400 for a fully working generic cab containing Circus Charlie from him. This was before I'd begun browsing ebay (seeing similar cab's go for heaps less, gutted ones less still and the occassional great looking cab go cheaper) or even using this site.

Hope this info helps. I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere when I began this hobby. I started using Mame32 with keys to an X-Arcade, a cab which I got working and now the same cab which I'm re-doing. This time it's not half hearted. Expect Project announcement in a little while fellow Aussies.

Gday

Cheerz for the info. I actually bought a couple of ancient coin mechs off him a week ago from ebay. Didn't know he had cabs aswell. Might have to get in touch with him, I see heaps of bargain ones on Ebay but are always in Canberra or W.A.

I just mailed him. Cheerz for info

If you look at his feedback on Ebay you can see me about 10 down his list.
