:dizzy:

So it's 2018.... and we still see turds like these.
I mean I don't even... The controller is on the far left and the monitor is on the far right. What's the extra 2 feet of height for? Why is the monitor 2 feet above the control panel? What's the glass for?
Yeah we don't need a crap mame section..... somebody explain to me how this one is a beautiful snowflake.
-
"in great shape"
-
I built it, a fishtank was going to go under the LCD.
-
Yikes.
-
c'mon haters, its a cabnite...dig!?

What a great idea, but I don't think the cabinet is stable. I hope that mop comes with it to keep it upright.
Serious inquiries only...lol.

At least he isn't selling it for $1500.

You sure have a hard on for Louis Tully. Someone swap your menthols for lights?
-
Thats a ghettolix, not a vigolix or TullyLix.
I miss Tully, that dude has some skills.

Hard on? **(Jennifer lights a Lucky, and contemplates)**..... If the women you know are getting hard ons, you may want to try a different bar.

Your nips dont get hard? Oh and smoking is bad for you mmmmkay?
-
I've seen 50-75 Vigolix cabs and this one is easily the worst. Makes Bat-lix look effin brilliant.

Jennifer, send me your address, I want to send you a present. It’s a NOS arcade ashtray for mounting on games. Never been used, been in an OPs stash in Northern Arizona since the 80s. I’m serious, PM it to me.

Bring me the yayo, I trade you the ashtray.
-
Oh how dreamy is that, all about a foosball table, or some nostalgic E/m boardwalk project.... Seems 'Fudgesicle" already laid claim to it however.
-
Nothing to do in Idaho except make weird cabinets and smoke, apparently.

No, you got dibs. I offered it to you first. If interested, PM me. If not, no worries.
-
Ah cigarettes, the arch nemesis of a clean arcade machine.... and your lungs.
Some of the cigarette burn marks I've seen on CPO's....look like they used one of those mini torches from radio shack.
-
Usually when I need an oddball part I'll buy a control panel with cigarette burns.... you can get them for practically nothing. There really shouldn't be smoking allowed in arcades imho. You'll have 100 responsible smokers and 1 ---uvula--- that makes everyone else look bad.

Where are there arcades exactly?
-
Eh not many, mostly barcades and Dave & Busters at this point.
-
Ah. They've pretty much banned indoor smoking everywhere here. Blah blah government trampling our rights blah it's actually pretty awesome.

They banned smoking in public places here years ago.
Good thing IMO bloody disgusting habbit that costs a fortune and achieves nothing positive.

Thats ZapCon material there, I tell you what!
-
Saw this ashtray at the auction today and thought of you guys.
-
That's messed up. Yeah put it right over the joystick so if a stiff breeze blows by all the hot ash falls on the player's hand.

errrr.....found this on craigslist in Buffalo area near me.

Good lord. I wouldn't pay more than 1800 for it.
-
Seems like a successful trolling job to me. :dunno
-
Good lord. I wouldn't pay more than 1800 for it.
but it literally plays 1 million games!
-
Now the question should be . . . "Who here bought this ?"
we know you're lurking and watching this thread.
-
Kids these days!
Why in my younger years I would have worked an extra 2000 hours in the tobacco fields to save up for that fine piece of equipment.
I dont blame him for not taking any less, why I would force the gentleman to take more, and be dam proud to pay it.
(Notice it is making its way towards Zapcon)

We don’t allow bideo gamez like that at ZapCon.

Although not as bad... I found one....
Ok, who here built this?

Great example of a Frankenpanel.... and this was "commercially" made?

$1,400 for those of us that are wondering why you clipped off the price.
It's almost within the realm of reason....

Ugh... It's from my own state. :banghead:

I can't believe he didn't splurge on the $180 arcade spinner. I wonder if these guys are still around?

Bill’s Gargantuapigamecade Arcade

Gotta throw Zelda or Metroid in the title because nothing says "I have no clue what I am doing" like an arcade cabinet based around a franchise that's only had console releases. ;)

Okay, I can't make this up.... I had to go to a job site to check out a customers issue with paint (It's my Job).... and no ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- what do I see????

$250 out the door. C'mon, Ian. Do it.

I have no clue what it is but if I were you i'd try to figure it out, that's one hell of a coincidence.

I've never played an arcade cabinet where my elbows could rest on it while holding the joystick.
It looks not only like it would give me tendinitis I bet my forearms would stick to after they started to sweat from being pressed against the panel.
-
I bet N64 games play great on that CP.
-
Hmmmmmmmm.....

At least it has a carrying handle for when you take it to your friends house to show it off. Seriously looks like someone recycled a plywood coffin to make it :)
-
That's the $18 joystick, buttons, encoder special from Amazon installed on that thing. I actually kinda like the joystick.
-
ha ha ha... That Marquee just makes the thing POP!

Was facilitating a raspberry Pi-Jam a the Library. Dad came up to show me a photo of his Pi-cade. It looked like a large not yet painted Vegolex. Would fit right in here
I asked, what didn't you just use an old PC? He said it was EZ to find the right rom set. Any way I now get why some people hate the R-pi. I may still love it, but I'm not building full size cabs and sticking a very compromised option because I'm to lazy to fig your out a real MAME setup.

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!!! Thanks for the link!!

There is no way these were built by someone here. They don't have 237 RGB LED buttons.

I just realized that who ever did that, they took the time to counter sink the joystick screws, but left the random wood screws... :lol

That looks suspiciously like a cabinet I posted on here before.
I also have one bolted to a tool stand.
-
Btw, lest y’all think I’m being a big fat meanie - all these things I have posted come from Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace ads. So fair game, sez I.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!.... That tool pile thing is Mamalisious, , It could use some C/p work, but OMG, yes please. ;D

You forgot about the buttons designed for massive mutant hands. All cabinets need them. Then look at the aesthetic of those wires being left bare and exposed like that. I believe that this is a perfect interpretation of the struggles the builder has experienced in life.

At least the screen is oriented correctly.

Using a 4:3 allows you to sin a bit

That joystick is mounted deep.

What really pushes it over the top is the row of actual cabinets in the background.

Maybe it's for his bathroom? :dunno
