LF: Arcade seller in British Columbia Canada

[GodSin]

looking to buy an arcade cabinet in the greater vancouver area that will be able to support the control pannel pictured below. i dont have the size of the control pannel off hand, however I remember that my old cabinet was a TMNT cabinet that I converted which I had to sell when I moved out to Vancouver.

I cant remember off hand where I got the control pannel from but I think I heard a while ago that they went out of buisness.

Someone I think in your area, or at least Canada, asked about this recently. Might be able to find responses from Cheffo Jeffo on it.

Man I found a warehouse clear in Vancouver about a month and a half ago. If my source still has inventory I might be able to dig something if ebay didn't take all of the good stuff. For anyone reading this I didn't post my info because they were very particular about who came by.

Lots of folks in BC wanting cabinets lately!

I don't know anybody out there, so beyond the advice I gave in those threads, I am at a loss ... but perhaps some of the folks in the US Northwestcan help.

You can always try posting an ad on craigslist for an empty cab. I know a few that have done this and come up successful.

I bought my first cab several years back from a place in Burnaby called Canadian Coin Machine. They have quite a huge warehouse stuffed with hundreds of cab in various states of repair. Their website seem to be down, so I couldn't say whether they're still in business, but if they are they're probably your best bet. If you do go with them, do a little research and be very savvy, as they will try and charge you as much as possible for an empty cab. I definitely overpaid when I bought mine due to inexperience and lack of knowledge.

A quick search also turns up another company in Burnaby, Canadian Amusement Game Supplies. Don't know anything about them, but their website seems to indicate they have a lot of stock in the arcade business.
