Even in deep south TX when I lived on the border, I was able to find an operator where I bought my first empty cabinet for $50. It was in good condition, though, so I really couldn't complain. The point is, no matter how remote, there is always a spare cabinet to be found. I bought 9 or 10 off a guy in Palestine, TX. Try looking that one up in Mapquest. You'll get the point pretty quickly. ;) |

I bought my cab off eBay for $61, and it had the bezel glass, JAMMA harness, coin door, and a CP with 14 buttons and two joysticks. If you do go looking for a cab, please read the BYOAC Manifesto first. |

Wow...what great responses! I knew there was a reason I joined. :) So I agree about the building. Not because I possibly couldn't do it (I never like to say I can't do something), but the point of "Oops I made a bad cut" which could happen coupled with "Well now I need to rent another truck" makes a ton of sense. Arcade games around here. It's been a long time since I've seen any...EXCEPT....I do work pretty close to Gameworks in the Mall. Maybe they'll let me talk to someone or walk around for free to look at the back of a few cabinets. ;) Anyway, thanks for the great comments guys...keep them coming! |

However, watch their dumpster; I'll bet you see the occasional cabinet shell show up next to it. The stickers will be on machines in places that don't specialize in arcade machines. Any decent sports bar will have a Golden Tee machine. Failing that, look for jukeboxes, as outfits that place jukeboxes will often also deal in arcade machines. --Chris |
