thanks for the reply

yeah i've seen this site, nice looking cabinet but too expensive for my budget.
i think i prefer the other style cocktail cabinets from japan, metal legs etc... i might have to end up making one myself out of wood.

keep an eye out on this ebay category: PC & Video Gaming > Coin-Operated > Video Games

sometimes get old cocktail cabs that would be suitable for conversion

like this one...

That one seems a tad nice to strip and MAME. Expensive too!

Um, that one is a scam.

Zero feedback seller. Picture is cropped out of a flyer, as are the photos of his other 2 items. Can't quite believe he sells digital cameras yet can't come up with real photos.

And of course the biggest scam indicator is the "FREE SHIPPING".

Hi

I have an empty Nichibutsu cocktail cab that I was going to MAME, but I just don't have the time or space @ the moment !

It is complete with legs, control panels and a plexi cut top.

I will throw in a 15" PC monitor that  will fit in with a bit of modification to the Cab.

If you were interested, I would sell for the price I paid of
