Sorry for quality of pics, crappy camera.

Those joysticks look a little stubby, you didn't route out the mounting area for the joysticks did ya? lol.
Price is good though really. Maybe someone will snag this  one from you  for a good  price :)
Good luck,

Bat tops can be mounted stubby. In all my game collecting I have only encountered two types of people who route out underneath joysticks, BYOAC members, and some OEM manufacturers. Operators doing conversions never seemed to have done this.

Anyway, good luck selling your cabinet. The price seems about right for Missouri, that is about what I would charge for a cabinet like that.

Also, you might want to get ahold of STLRod (or similar name, check through the buy/sell forum), as he might have a buyer for you. He is a higher end Mame builder and had spoken to me about building a similar lower end cabinet for one of his customers, but you already seem to have exactly what he is looking for.

Is that an old Pac machine with a big CP attached to the front??

I always wondered what that would look like...

Question: What do you think about the light gun's effectiveness/workability with a monitor at that angle?

(I have a Pac...)

My monitor is angles back like that too, and I was also wondering how well light guns would work at that angle. Sorry to contribute to the hijack.

Have you tried using the newspaper classifieds??

Or maybe friends? I think that is your best bet. Good luck, it is a great cab to have for that price.

Thank you for being nice.  I think I sold it to a friend.  The cab looks better in person and works great.  It was my first try, so I am proud of it, that is what counts!

Does not work that great.  Hard to calibrate it.
