Title: WTB: Empty Cabs in West Michigan
Post by: wakerlet on February 27, 2004, 12:44:13 pm

I have two friends who were so impressed by my MAME machine (not even finished yet) that they want to build one too.  Each needs a cabinet and are located in Grand Haven/Holland area.

Let me know if you have anything.

I am also in West Michigan.  I don't have any empty cabinets for you, but it is nice to know there are others in W MI into this obsession.

I just picked up three cabinets last week for $50 each.  Allegedly they all were dead, however when I plugged them in two were working great.  The third was dead.  So I am keeping the working games intact and mameing the third.

The place that I got the cabinets from had a cocktail in rough shape they were considering getting rid of.  It had no boards, monitor, or coin door.  If you are interested in that lead let me know.

Oh, I forgot, if your friends are interested in a bit of a road trip, there is someone in Bowling Green Ohio selling a lot of empties lately on ebay.  Probably 5-6 hour drive.  Search ebay under arcade game.

I've got a couple cabs I recently bought from 'DrMoonSparkle' down in Bowling Green and i'm only using one of them (The smallest). If you or your friends want the other two send me an email. I'm asking a earth shattering dollar for each one. I know i'm a swindler... It cost more for gas to get down there  ;) Anywhoo they're pretty decent, and with some work they'll be awesome. Heres some pictures of the cab i'm MAME'ing.

I went vacationing once in Grand Haven. We rented some house up on a hill overlooking the beach. At night people would drive up and down this touristy strip... It was pretty cool. I remember wanting to find an arcade to no avail.
