Title: WTB- Cabinet to mame near Cincinnati
Post by: Elemental on November 11, 2003, 09:24:30 pm

Hello,
I am looking for a cab to use for a Mame machine. I got all the computer stuff, just need to find a cab. Anybody around Cincinnati looking to get rid of a broken cab, or sell one for cheap (I also have some old PC parts that I can trade for)? Also, if anyone has some working games for cheap, that need some work, contact me. Thank you!

IceCold-

I wish I could, but that is a long drive, and I do not have a truck. I hope I can find one locally.

If you are really getting desperate, there is a guy in Bowling Green OH that sells a ton of empty cabs on Ebay for cheap.  I see on mapquest its about 170 miles away but it might be worth it to take a day, rent a van, and go up there.  You might even be able to pick up a couple (in case you want to "expand" your collection).  Especially if you find somebody locally that you can split the costs with.

Anyway, just an idea.  Do a search on Ebay under Coin Op ---> Arcade and search "cabinet" and you'll find him.

Auction in Columbus this weekend. I'm considering going but its 6 hours for me so its a little far. It wouldn't be so bad for you.
