I can believe it! LOL

I went with all intentions of getting 3-4 cabs to start out with (overkill I know but wanted to save fuel ) and wound up getting the top 2 the dig dug cab had good art but the wood was like  rubber inside and break very very easy.

Round up with bad side showing


Unknown cab made in Chicago Indiana


Sad dig dug


Gorf cabinet I was tempted but couldn't bring myself to mame it

Welcome to the forums. Probably jumping the gun here but I think the second cabinet will make for a better MAME platform - although a slightly unusual shape it looks in good condition, already has a large control panel area (great for adding more controls), has an exterior more suited to treating, laminating etc. and what looks like a larger monitor area. Once you're done with these, try your hand at building your own to truly be initiated here, then move on to resto's....

I agree with the second cab being first I think, the reason I even started looking again to build a machine was a way to put all the spare parts I had around to good use.

Smaller cabs will have 17inch monitors and older pc's loaded up with some classics and given off to friends and family the larger cab will get a 22' Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 200 I have taking up room.
I bought a pallet of pcs and monitors a couple of years back so I have been slowly but surely finding homes for them all.

After that maybe another mame or probably getting a couple unmolested arcade units or  maybe a pinball hmmmm  ;D
