WTB Used Cabinet For First Time MAME Project. Baltimore Area...

[butter5784]

I know this should have gone in the buy/sell/trade forum but it didn't have an option to add a new topic. 

I live in Bel Air, Maryland.  I'm on a buget with time and money since the birth of my son  but I still want to put together a MAME cabinet.  I'm looking to buy a used cabinet that would be good for a two player cabinet.  From reading the forums I've learned that I want 26 inches wide at least for this project.  Please send pictures or descriptions.  I'm willig to travel about 50 miles at most to pick up a cabinet.  You can contact me by e-mail @ butter5784@verizon.net.  Thanks so much for any help.

You might also want to check your local Craig's list. Lots of folks getting rid of arcade machines on there.

Yeah, craiglist is a great source.  Just a hint that many don't know about, you can search for "arcade" and then (if using firefox) click the RSS button.  It will then add a live bookmark wherever you want that will constantly do the search.  It's a great way to alway be the first to see the new items.

Also check RGVAC, RGVAM, Freecycle.

I guess Philly is little far for you (I'm Canadian and always get confused in that area of the USA), but Todd at TNT periodically has cabs to give away. He'll post them on RGVAC when they come up.

Good luck in your search and congrats on the new addition.

Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I did a google search for RGVAC and RGVAM and got a lot of different sites.  Are these sales things like the freecycle?   I'm actually not to far from Philly so that's a definate option.
