Title: looking for info on building a real ( non emulator ) arcade cabinet
Post by: rlemmon on October 28, 2005, 08:25:24 am

Hi. Im looking for info on building a non emulator arcade cab from the ground up. I havve already built a mame cab and now i want to get an original ms pacman pcb and  cab plans then build a "new" ms pacman game. The price to buy a ms pac refurb seems to be around $1600.00. I think it would  be  cheaper to build one and that way the only thing i would need to worry about going bad  would be the pcb.  I know what all goes int a arcade cab but im not sure hw to put everything togather and wire it properly.

any info would be great.

thanks
