G'day Zzap,
Your our first A.C.T'er on the site just wondering if you own an arcade cabinet or are planning to build or convert one?

I agree, our cocktail machines are a much better design than the US ones. I have seen several UK tables that are the same as ours though so I wonder if LAI took their design from a table offered over there.
I have a great 4 player cab I recently bought at auction with a working PCB for $250 which was made by Galaxy. It's all plywood and built absolutely brilliantly, I love it. Just ordered more gear from Ultimarc to convert it to MAME (J-Pac, I still want to use it for real PCB's).
I've also got an old LAI Space Invaders cab which I got at the same auction. One of those old B&W reflection ones. It works but the cab is one of the particle board ones and is falling apart, literally. The side art was ripped off years ago by the looks so I'm just gonna scrap it. It's a shame but it really is bad, every time I move it a trail of particle board chips is left behind.

I wish cabs were easy to come by...I decided to make mine from scratch, starting with a control panel, then moving up to a stand etc...Importing parts is definately the only way to go.

Sure cabs are harder to come by in australia with LAI having a virtual monopoly. My LAI made cab is plywood luckily and damn heavy. It's got 2 wheels and 2 handles and I still needed help to move it in LOL!
In Sydney you can buy cabs starting from http://www.ableamusements.com.au/ and the working cabs with games start at $250.00 from memory. Luckily I bought my working cab at auction for $75.00 though =) Pity it's only once a year.
