Thanks,

Not sure how close it is (and honestly a little too lazy to look it up on MapQuest right now) but there are constantly arcade related items for sale in Northern Illinois.

He posts out on alt.rec.arcade.marketplace (I think) and his email is djmoonsparkle@hotmail.com. Really nice guy and he usually has some decent cabs for $30-60.

When I was home I was looking for a cabinet for my mame project, and one of the only places I could find is Ace Game Room Gallery off of W. Jefferson (half way between downtown and Jefferson Point). Although they specialize in billiards, they had a good number of arcade cabinets in the back. And they'll sell them. The cheapest one I could find was $300, but it was complete. Talk to the manager and maybe he'll part with an undedicated cabinet for a lot less.

Post by: rosborn on January 26, 2004, 04:38:23 pm: I got mine from T-N-T, which is just outside New Haven on S.R. 14 (check the Yellow pages under Amusement). I could tell he thought I was crazy, but he was pleasant and even threw some old buttons and sticks in with it. That was probably about 5 years ago now, so he may have changed his mind on selling to the likes of us.
