Emphasis mine -- you appear to base your assessment of your SS cab being better than most arcade cabinets on a few standup fighters that you saw in a movie theatre.
*I* don't have any clue what those fighter cabinets were or what condition they were in. You say that they were made of 1/2" -- I can't argue. I can only point out that, except for the 9/16" Nintendo cabs, I have never once seen a wooden cabinet made of material less than 3/4" (doesn't mean they don't exist). Perhaps the ones you saw are homebrew cabs. :dunno
There are a number of different types of "Happ buttons" -- some convex, some concave, some with vertical switches, so horizontal, some are good, some no so much. I don't think any of them age well. Hey, *I* use Happ horizontal buttons.
At this point I am just being pedantic ... everybody I know of who has a SS cab is happy with it.
:cheers:

I think we're picking too much nit here. My SS cab is definitely of higher quality than the cabs I saw, without a question. The wood was definitely thinner, especially around the lip of the control panel. I examined them for quite a while, and I remember checking to be sure they weren't some hack or homebrew job.
Anyway, I guess we can let this rest now. At least we're both in violent agreement that SS cabs are high quality. ;) I just wish I had the option of getting another one if I wanted it. Again I feel badly for those on this thread who never even got their FIRST one. That still amazes me. ???

Yeah, I like the 'Simpsons' type cab with slant monitor. Man, I looked at Arcades R Fun and they have no products at all. What's with that?

That's odd, and a pity if it's intentional. Jack does really good work.
