--- Quote from: alomar721 on January 08, 2006, 03:16:15 pm ---thanks just trying to get some info. was hoping that cabinet fro sale already in mich. area. what do you think about the stripped cabinet is that hard to change into a mame cabinet. thanks scott --- End quote --- IMO, taking a gutted cabinet and converting it is much easier than building yourself. It's definitely a good option... just don't mame a classic cabinet! Get a generic conversion cabinet and go to town on it. |

Twice if necessary. Three times just for fun. ;) |

Star Wars cabinets make great MAME conversions. You can rip out the yoke and sell it for parts, then attach a 4 player panel using the hole from the yoke as a mount point. Just kidding! Never Mame a classic, unless it's Mr. Do - Ultracade owns the rights to them now... ::) |
