I'm on about cabinet #9 too. I have more fun building than playing, so usually end up selling the cabs I make - usually for a loss. The current lineup is Dr. Who and Star Trek 25th Anniversary pinballs, Defender cocktail restore and MAME cab. My MAME cab is a 25" Dynamo cabinet with 2 joysticks/6 buttons each. P1 joystick is an Ultimarc T-Plus. I like shooters, so the monitor is mounted vertically and is powered by an ArcadeVGA. Current line up is only about 300 games, as I've weeded out all duplicates and games that I never play. The PC in my MAME cab is connected to my network via ethernet, and has MP3's and videos on it. I just got a D-Link Medialounge that wirelessly connects to my network and lets me play music and video that are stored on the MAME cab on my DLP TV (only a 46"). The PC is on all the time connected to a smart strip, so if I want to play a game I just flip the cabinet power switch and it turns on the monitor, marquee and speakers. The front end is always running. I use cocktailfe because it's so easy to set up, has a simple display and doesn't use processor power that could interfere with streaming media. My web page shows a lot of my cabinets, but not the current MAME. The thing is so big I haven't had the nerve to take the monitor out, do a cap kit and patch/paint the cab. I rarely play it, so I've been taking my time with this one. http://home.comcast.net/~dark.paladin I live in Mountlake Terrace, not far off I-5. You're all welcome to stop by if you're interested.

Unfortunately, I only recently discovered MAME and this whole cabinet building thing late last year, so I'm working on my first one. I don't take drugs, so I'm still trying to figure out why the hell it took me so long to become aware of this hobby. :dizzy: Anyway, I bought a Pit Fighter cab off CL last November and have been restoring/converting it for the past 4 months. Everything is done except: 1. designing/building a replacement CP (got the new controls at least) 2. designing/printing marquee and CPO art 3. a bunch of software stuff Since we have an offer from Paladin, shall we try and arrange a meet there?

I am limited to week day evenings for meetings. I work 12 hour shifts at night during the weekend, so although I am technically not working during the day on the weekends, I am fast asleep |
