Wanted - Free/Cheap Jamma Cab [CA/ON/Barrie]

[ken_cinder]

What's the likelihood of anyone in my area having an empty cab they want to get rid of? Low I bet, but it can't hurt to ask.

All I need is an empty generic jamma cabinet in feasible shape. If it needs fixed up, that just gives me something to do.
I just bought an Aero Fighters PCB I'd like to put together a dedicated cab for, and I can't find any ads for cabinets around here unless I want a complete one for $500+

I'll take one with a monitor or not, and I'd prefer one with a CP that isn't trashed and at least not going to be brutal to repair. As long as it's workable, I'll take it!

I'll bet there are a couple, although people are more inclined to get rid of them in the spring, summer and fall.

There are a couple of collectors up your way (meaning Barrie, as opposed to Toronto or London), but they hang around CGCC CoinOp Forum and MAACA Forum rather than here.

Also, there is the Playdium (formerly known as Starburst) Auction next weekend (January 24th) and you can see from the results lists if we are talking within you desired price range.

Thanks, I'd love to hit that auction up but I'm not sure I'd be able to get anything back from there.

I only own a car, so it'd have to be 1 of a few friends in the area, and I'm not so sure they'd be willing to go all the way down there for me. Was hoping for something in the area that I know they would be willing to help me retrieve.

man i wanna go but thanks to exams i can't

Well, that certainly limits your options (the auction is right off of the 401 near the 400, so it's about as convenient as it gets) ... I only know of one BYOACer in Barrie and don't think he has any cabs sitting around.

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of guys from Barrie who post on CGCC and MAACA, but I have no idea if they have any cabs available.

Good luck!

I'd just buy one of the complete cabs in the area, there are a few for around $300-$350 in one classifieds I looked at, but the wife would bitchslap me!

I posted on the MAACA forums, hopefully something turns up there.

And wooowman93 the 24th is a Saturday, who has exams on a saturday? If you can go, then go! I would if I had a way to get something back here.

Just thought I'd note, I'm also willing to trade non arcade related items.
I have lots of console gaming stuff, computer hardware and other things. Just ask, could have what you're looking for.

Edit: I actually totally forgot, I DO have some arcade stuff I can offer. A working power supply (Have 2, only need 1), a bunch of Sanwa pink and green buttons, 2 Sanwa sticks and a Siemitsu stick.

Good to see a local response already on MAACA!
