Ya Sev, I would totally buy it for $50. I know I was looking for a Centipede cab before I started building mine and the only ones I could fine were out of town, and were around $25, but then there is the cost of picking it up and or delivery...

DO EET! DO EET NAO!  :cheers:

i was just a little hesitant, because i know this is my last cabinet, until i can add another room onto the house.. i just dont have enough room for anymore.  I want to end up with two mame cabinets, one with a horizontal monitor, two 8 ways and 6 buttons each, and trackball. (currently have). and a second, with a vertical monitor, 4way stick and 1 button.  a DK cabinet was my first choice, since it is my favorite arcade game. 

i think i am going to pick it up, hopefully here in a little while.  if i do, i'll post pics

well...i stopped over and talked to the guy and told him i want the cabinet, and that I am going to pick it up Wednesday...he is cool with that.  my wife has plans on Wednesday afternoon/evening and will be gone for a few hours.  My mom will be watching the kids at my house, so my friend and i will go pick up the cabinet and bring it here after she leaves.  once it is in the house, it will be much harder for her to say No.


now if I can just manage to hide my excitement until then. 

i need to at the very least get a joystick for this cabinet...to make it playable.  i really like the Ultimarc Jstik my friend has in his cabinet, it makes a very good 4way stick..the problem is that you end up paying $14 shipping for an $21 joystick.

I saw that lizardlick has sanwa JLW sticks, but they will take 3 weeks or so to ship...that kinda sucks too. 

onyone know of anywhere else that carries sanwa JLW sticks in the US?

Famous last words. There is the saying, though, "it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."  >:D
