Title: cheap control panel
Post by: jam92102 on February 14, 2004, 11:39:08 pm

I know there was a post a while back about someone selling empty unpainted predrilled control panels at a pretty decent price (40 dollars or something like that).  Does anybody have a link to that website.  I tried doing a search but I couldn't find the post.  I'd appreciate the help.

Here's the link:
www.gamecab.com
They are $70.00 but $25.00 is deducted off the price
so its $45.00 plus S&H.
Charlie is a great guy to deal with.
Hope this helps.

Yea, grab one while you can, the price goes up to 70.00 in march! To me 70.00 is still a fair price in my oppinion.   Its just the right size.

Thats the only one i have seen really that built complete without paint etc.  You might check with SNAAAKE  (sp?)I think he was building empty ones for people a while back, might be someone else i am thinking of, but i think it was him. I think he was wanting 50.00.

I have one of them, they are pretty well built. Unfortunately mine was damaged during shipping. Damn you UPS. Anyways I do recommend doing biz with gamecab. They were extremely willing to work with me on resolving the damage issue.

I have been working with gamecab on some  shipping ideas, i think any damaged boxes will hopefully be a thing of the past. :)
Well, at least any  damaged control panels lol. The boxes are still at the mercy of ups  :-\

Personally I think UPS is out to get me... ;D.  Maybe I was a rabid dog in a past life who liked to bite and chase UPS and USPS employees and as a result they now like to trash my work.
Anyway, Yes GrooveyTuesday was very helpfull in his advice on how to make all of the GameCab packages UPS proof.  As a result of his help I was actually able to complete a small surplus of the Control panels.  They are in stock again at the GameCab website but I am really not sure how long they will be there as they do sell quickly.
Just as an FYI, the panels will be changing from black formica to Black Vinyl in March.  This will also be the time that the GameCab CNC router is put into mass production mode.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will keep up with the demand for the Control Panels.

Thanks

Charlie
