should i buy this cabinet?
MoonDog:
Obviously there are a lot of factors to consider here so I'm really just asking for opinions. I found a cabinet for sale locally that looks like it might be a good candidate for my first MAME cabinet. I am totally comfortable building one from scratch, but I have so many other projects on my plate right now that I think buying a used cab might be better idea. In the long run I'm guessing it might be cheaper as well. My budget is pretty tight at this point.
The price is $100 and the monitor doesn't work. I have all new controls so I don't need the existing ones, but if they are in good enough shape I'm sure I'll use them for something.

for reference, it will probably be playing mostly classics. i pretty much switched to pinball about the time that the fighting games came into vogue. who knows what i'll end up playing when i have my own cabinet though. ;D
Superdude:
Looks beat to hell. Offer'em 25 bucks for it. You can get a fully working cab in decent shape from namco for about 100 bucks.

Does it still have the MVS board in it?
