There's a bunch of us in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Sure thing... I'm in Bothell.

Boykster and motorfish are Seattle-area too, if memory serves.

I'm in Seattle, though I have very few notes to share. I'm in an apartment right now and don't have room for a full size cab, so I have a desktop setup that I sometimes hook to my laptop to use. I am sort of on the lookout for a cab though that I can make into a multi-platform-emulator.

Chris,
Whereabouts in Bothell, I grew up just south of Mill Creek in unincorporated Snohomish county... Bothell mailing, Everett schools.

I bet there's more of us, our weather breeds plenty of indoorsy types.

Later,
Brian

Hey Chris....you are right up the road....I am in Kirkland, right off 405 by the Costco

Chris G · « **Reply #7 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:26:07 pm »

Very south Bothell, basically Juanita. Near 100th & 145th.

I guess the extra-crappy weather this year has been a mixed blessing. It's given me lots of time for this new hobby, but I sure miss my golf.

Mountlake Terrace here - just north of Seattle.

Did any of you manage to wrangle a free KI2 cab from Ballard about a month ago. I think I just missed it, but got my hopes up before they were crushed. My wife even said I could get it after I said I would wait till we had a house, then they said it was gone.

Oh well, as long as it didn't go into a landfill. I at least hope since it was free that somebody that was going to play with it got it instead of some one looking to make a buck.

Not me. I've only picked up one free cab from craigslist. It was literally 4 blocks from my house, talk about the planets being aligned. Within the last few months I've seen quite a few good deals, but missed out on everyone I tried to get.

Damn, you guys are finding FREE cabs? I must be too impatient.

trog_4269 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2007, 11:19:36 pm »

I am in Auburn, 30 miles south of Seattle.

free cabs?

I guess I should keep a closer eye on CL!

Matthew Anderson · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2007, 10:44:04 am »

The wife and I just bought a house over on Bainbridge Island. I don't get over to the city much and I pretty much suck at all things woodworking.

However if someone scheduled a meet I would absolutely be there

OOPS, I should have kept my big stupid mouth shut, now I'll never get one

. Too much competition.

Does anybody know if there is a local distributor, I'd like to get some retired cab and restorfy it into a classic looking emulator. All the for sale stuff on CL seems to be working and outside of my pricerange, I just want a shell to start from.

A guy I used to work with got a free cab from a distributor down by Sodo.

Unfortunately, I have no idea where in that area....that was about 6 months before I got bit by the arcade bug and didn't really pay attention.

He doesn't work there anymore and I have no way of contacting him....

whoa hey Im located in Bothell too right next to Bothell downtown. I'm a newbie in this forum but I have started doing some mods and customizing joysticks. Maybe we should get together and show off some stuff.

btp2k2 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:19:28 am »

Welcome aboard badugi!

I would certainly be interested in getting together and figuring out that Dreamcast thing with you.....I am starting a DC cab too.

Live up in the Edmonds area here. Close to the King / Snohomish county line.

badugi · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:41:11 am »

sweet, I'd really want to see how you do it! Seriously lets all meet... umm...... I don't know....when are you guys free? We should contact Chris G too! UW final exams are finally over so I'm free most of the time. Pm me guys.

Chris G · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2007, 11:26:08 am »

Hey gang,

I have a feeling the mods would appreciate us getting this off the Main board at this point. Let's wrap this thread and reconvene on the Meet Up board in EE.

I created: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64391.0
