Just saw this in the online confidentials website i visit alot...
http://www.craigslist.org/eby/for/14096693.html
The guy only wants $50 bucks (or possibly less) for it.... I'd jump on it but I don't really want a driving cab...

I have found a few cabs in NOCAL, what are you looking for? I can get you cabs that house 19" monitors for $80 - $100 bucks in halfway decent shape (read - they aren't pretty, but could be made to look that way with a can of spackle, wood screws, disc sander, and a few coats of paint.). You could probably fit a 24" TV in those cabs, or a large computer monitor.
I've been holding out and searching for about a month for the perfect cab to MAME:
A 4-player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cab (converted into super High Impact, converted to Golden Axe revenge, 25" monitor) for $50!
I've already begun the assault on the cab. It has no water damage and only one bad bottom corner (BONDO is a great thing). There is no sideart to peel, just bad paint. Had to wood screw some edges and use my nail gun to solidify the cabinet. It is spackled and sanded. The coin doors are a mess but once it is all cleaned up, it will be the envy of all my creations. :)

hmmm... dont suppose those deals will last til the end of the month?... I won't start my new job until then and money will definitely be tight up till that time... man... i must be the unluckiest guy on earth when it comes to arcade cabs... everytime i see a cheap one come by, i can't afford to get it for some reason.... erg... oh well thanks for the update though... ;D

Well, judging by the condition of some of the cabs are in, I'd say they'd be around in a few months. But, you could probably find something else within a month's time. just email me when you save up some scratch and I can probably get you something you can work with.
