Title: What kind of cabinet is this?
Post by: JohnyO on March 05, 2015, 05:51:45 pm

Saw this Shinobi for sale locally and I am wondering what this cabinet may have been originally. Any ideas?

A generic CVS cabinet. My first MAME build, which I still have, was one of those. Its white melamine particle board, mine was swollen really bad on the bottoms. I didn't know how to fix stuff back then, so I sanded it and patched it as best I could and painted it black.

It's actually a pretty good cab for your first MAME build, when I think about it.

I like the shape a lot. Should be cool.
