I used to play that game all the time at the corner store (till they replaced it with dungeons and dragons).

Excellent, thank you.   Yeah I want a two player set up with the six buttons and all, maybe a small 4-way ball stick somewhere for pac man, etc... a trackball and a spinner. 

At this point though I have ZERO woodworking skills and electrical skills so I am intimidated by the next steps..

I have asked atleast one guy I know in the area who has made a cab to help me with all of this, if he does what does anyone suggest in terms of payement?

Malenko:

I'd pay him in beer, but paypal is prolly more practical.
As for 6 buttons, I always suggest 7 (see attachment) it allows the classic capcom fighter layout, and also gives you a very good Neo Geo set up as well. the extra button can be used as Run in MK3/UMK3 and I use  the ABC of the neo geo row for games like NBA Jam, NHL Open Ice, etc. again, just a suggestion.

if your going to put a spinner in there, I suggest the Turbo Twist 2 from groovy game gear, Im saving up for one myself.

Ok I have seen that but I didnt know what that was for..  NBA Jam is one of my favorites so I will keep that in mind.

I am also gonna pay the guy in person cause he is in the area but whats a good amount for someones help with control panels, etc?

Shoot, he'll probably be happy to have a new buddy that appreciates the hobby. ;D Still, a case of his specialty drink whenever he comes over is probably good enough.
Now if he is doing real work and not just helpful advice/tutilage, then payment might be in order.

Malenko:

ask him how much he wants for his help, Im sure it wont be much, especially if you're paying for parts.



check out this UMK3 on ebay... cab look familiar?
