Nor-California parts/cab vendors?
« on: March 23, 2005, 12:56:16 pm »
Are there any parts/cab vendors (or people who have unwanted cabs) in Northern California on the Web?  I seem to remember a vendor in Placerville, CA, but I cannot seem to find the link.
ANyone?

 Any specifics on what you are looking for? I have 25" JAMMA cab w/ a really nice WG monitor that I am leaning towards selling. I also have a MIDWAY style cocktail (MAME'd) that I am looking to sell.

My original goal is to build my own MAME cab, but I could find the housing (no monitor, not guts) of a cocktail or small cab on the cheap, I might go that route.

I want one of them showcase arcade systems.   How much do those things weigh?

A showcase can weigh a lot if everything is populated.  I recently picked one up and it was a truck load.  The pedestal and CP box were light as could be.  The monitor base was easily carried by two people.  However the monitor housing, if it has a monitor in it....  it weighs a LOT.  Like 200 lbs or more.

Here's the Placerville place you were looking for.

You're in Oroville?  I'm in Redding, and can hook you up with an empty Afterburner cockpit cab, if you can handle it.  It's big, and heavy, but it would make an awesome MAME.

Thanks for the offer, but... well, I need to think about it... I am really looking for something small like an empty tabletop cab. SUre would be cool to have that big cab though.  I just cannot think of where it would live...  How's Redding? Rainy?

Hey Kremmit,

What are you looking for for the cab.  Is the seat still going to be in it?

I am interested.

Thanks

NoBonus:  Redding's been raining off and on today, with some hail.  Might have found a free upright cab for you - check your PM.

PoDunkMoFo:  Check your PM as well.   ;D

I am in San Jose. I have an empty Tron cabinet that has been repaired. The repair consisted of cutting off two inches of the rotted bottom and replacing with new wood.

It is solid as a rock. I had planned to "re-shape" it into a Rally-X style cabinet. ( for my Rally-X Kit )

It's yours if you want it. I have run out of room and I will probably never get to this project.

Let me know.

-Tom

Is that an upright Tron cab or a Tabletop?
