Selling my self-built MAME cab (UK)
<< < (3/5) > >>

Yea, one of the considerations in building the cab is that it has to be 'moveable' as it is in my spare bedroom (3 bed detatched).

We are moving to a 2 bed appartment and whilst it has a large living room, I wouldnt subject my other half to having the cab in there. The 2nd bedroom has to be an office for me as I work from home - so I have a couple of desks, PCs etc - no room in there.

But as Craig points out above, I modified the 'BYOAC' book design to be small enough to not only fit through a door, but the biggest problem is one wheeled out the room it is in, there is a wall across the hallway - so I had to modify the depth so it could be 'pushed out and pushed along' the hallway!

Anyways, I've done all the pics now and made a video in the evening of the lights etc and will be wacking it all on a web page for easy viewing.

Hope it sells, otherwise it will be left in the garden  :dizzy:

Nah, not yet - I've taken loads of pics and a vid and put a simple web page up (which I need to finish first).

But the most important thing is I need to move it from my room, downstairs - which is going to involve removing doors and (obviously) a heavy lift downstairs. As we live far away from friends and family, I'm waiting for my dad to come up and help me do this - which should hopefully be next weekend.

Hell, if that's all it is....why not just discuss it?

Yea we have and whilst she 'wouldnt mind', i think deep down she does and anyway, I also dont think its really fair as its a bit of an eyesore! And I mean that generally as its quite a good looking cab, but not something you'd find in a living room!

Guess I'm just not as hardcore as some of you!  :dizzy: :laugh2:
