But most of the stuff I have picked up recently has been from other hobbyists whom I have met. |

Not sure of the distance, but check out Eyedoc: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=67430.0 He's in Lewisville, and I believe he's got a bunch of stuff... |

I got my cabinet for free simply because I asked. I just went to the nearest distributor and asked if they had any non-working cabinets that they would be willing to part with. He told me that I could have my pick of cabs lacking a monitor and board as long as I was willing to haul it away. I ended up with a Mortal Kombat II cab (with working power supply, marquee light, controls) and used it to make my first MAME cabinet. I still have the two 49-ways if anybody is interested... |

Too bad you didn't post this a week earlier :-[. There was an arcade auction in Mesquite, TX just East of Dallas on 5/26/07. I'm sure you would have found a decent CAB there. Keep an eye out on CL and check out SuperAuctions to see when another auction is coming your way. http://www.superauctions.com/launch/home/index.html#Current%20and%20Upcoming%20Auctions |
