There are a few vendors around, but the chances of finding someone who's selling a cab for cheap, let alone throwing it out or giving it away, are slim to none. --- End quote --- Sorry to break it to you, but I have talked to a LOT of people with cabs in CT that are constantly turning them over, usually not that expensively. CT has a huge amount of people trafficking cabs out of NJ. |

No offense. Lemme 'splain: New England is like the capital for arcade related stuff. There's a massive network of collectors, guys selling stuff, guys giving away stuff, auctions (every once in a while). So if you're looking for arcade stuff in NE, and you haven't found anything, you're looking in the wrong places. For example: I've got four cabinets, and one actual non-converted game. Of those four, three were free. One was a complete JAMMA game (that I've since converted to a Mame cabinet) that I got for $130. And the other game was 'Sega Space Attack' that I got for free (but had to drive three hours each way to get it). Places to try: [*] read RGVAC (that's rec.games.video.arcade.collecting) either thru your ISP's newsserver, or thru http://groups.google.com [*] read right here. People post stuff here once in a while. [*]http://hartford.craigslist.com. Although usually you won't find much there, it's still a source. [*] Kevin @ K&S Amusements is out of CT, down near Enfield, IIRC. He gives away cabs once in a while, and sells decent empties for a little $$$. Contact him, he may have something for you. |
