Arcade cabinet need advice
« on: July 15, 2005, 09:02:46 pm »
well since I am not a skilled woodworker I need a mame cabinet, I have the roms and all computer parts necessary to get things going.  I have called many places in my area(detroit, MI) and no one has any used cabinets for sale.  I am on a budget which is why I chose to look for a used cabinet.  any advice on where I should look for a cabinet.  thanks

There's also a place that I always see on ebay up in north-central Ohio (west of Cleveland).

I almost drove there from Virginia, so I guess Michigan wouldn't be too bad.

Search on ebay, and sort by distance/nearest.

Try "drmoonsparkle" on eBay (although he currently does not have any for sale).

I have had next to no wood working skill and I built my own cabinet.  It looks a lot better than I had expected.  Sait's book really helped me a lot though.

If you are still looking for a cab though, there is a defender cab in the Buy/sell/trade forum.  You would have to drive all day to get it, but it's free.  It's in West Virgina (about 8.5 hours from Detroit).

You may have missed out, but there's a free Xevious cab in the Toledo/Ann Arbor area posted in the B/S/T forum:
