Cab builders between Seattle & Portland?
Goobzilla:
1st of all, let me say I'm very impressed by the level of knowledge on this board. I've read back about 60 pages so far in this forum and I've learned a lot.
That being said, I really want a MAME cab, but I'm a 'tard when it comes to woodworking. I thought about a UA II or a Slik Stik kit, but the S&H is a killer. Anyone between Seattle & Portland interested in building a cabinet for a few $$$ ? All I need is the bare cab, I can probably handle wiring up the CP, etc.
Thanks for the read,
Ron

I might be willing to do it but I think you would be better off finding an old cab because it will be even cheaper. Here is an example on Craiglist that I saw a couple of days ago. Don't know anything about the guy or what he has but it might be just what you are looking for. It is here in Seattle but it looks like a good deal:
Have a few bare cabinets for sale 20.00 and up.If your looking for mame cabinets,or something for Jamma or just an arcade project give me a call.I can outfit the cabs with monitors if you like some have control panels but I have even more if you need more joysticks,buttons,etc...I also like trades if you have any.I do have a couple working games for sale like Battlezone,Tron,etc.You can e-mail me at arcades@verizon.net or call my cell at 425-328-6192 if I dont answer leave your number and I willl call right back....Thanks....Dave
If it doesn't work out and you are still looking later on drop me a note and we'll see what we can work out.

I sent him an e-mail. If it doesn't work out, I'll keep you in mind but it sounds pretty promising. Thanks for the assist!

Goobzilla:
Not great news, the only cabinets he had was a battle zone (with the scope) and a space wars (perhaps the biggest cabinet in the history of video games!) I've got a couple numbers for a few places in Olympia/Tacoma maybe I'll strike gold there.
