I am undertaking a quest to free up more space around my house and shop. Therefore, my Super Pac-Man MAME cabinet has got to go. I can part with it for
$750 $650 $600 $500. I will help you load it onto your truck, but can't deliver as I do not have a truck.
This is one of those tasteful conversions, rather than a hack-job frankenpanel slapped onto a classic (or at least semi-classic) cabinet. There are no extra holes drilled on the outside of the cabinet. There's nothing stopping you from turning this back into a dedicated Super Pac if you feel like it.
This cabinet was in pretty sad shape when I found it, but I put a lot of work into it and made it look decent. I rebuilt the whole bottom and back, reconstructed the missing chunks of the side panels, and touched up the paint. I also gave it a brand new control panel overlay, an original marquee, new speakers, brand new VGA-compatible monitor, brand new Ms. Pac reunion joystick, new t-molding, and a rebuilt and refinished coin door. The sides could still use another coat of blue paint (I will throw in the half-can of color-matched paint for free), and the glass bezel (an original part) is kind of rough, and should be touched up or replaced.
It currently has a 266 mhz P2 in it, with 128 mb of RAM, running DOS with an old version of MAME and a custom front-end. The PC is fanless, other than the power supply, and it uses a CompactFlash card w/IDE adapter instead of a standard hard drive, so it is practically silent (and boots lightning fast). The whole cabinet is controlled by a remote control, so everything powers on simultaneously with the touch of a button.
Anyway, here's some pictures of the cabinet as it sits. If you want it, let me know.

More pics...

And the last of the pics...

How about $650? Or, just PM me an offer. I really need to get this out of my way, as I do not have room for it. :'(

thats is a lovely cab just wish you lived in UK rather then US ;),
why do USA always have great cabs for sale, there never be much choice around here, you just have to buy what you can get......
???
-
have you sold the cab yet??
-
have you sold the cab yet??
Nope, it's still here. Anybody want it for $600 even? That's a steal.
-
you guys are missing a great bargain, if a pac man cab was ever in the uk, it will sell for much more then that 8)
-
Ok. Now it's the deal of the century. For $600, not only do you get the fully-working Super Pac-Man MAME machine, but you get an empty bartop cabinet as an added bonus. You can see the bartop cabinet in this thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47935.0)

Hmmm... I'm not really sure how much it weighs. I think it's the size that would rack up the shipping costs to you anyway since it would probably have to be crated and shipped by boat or something.

How difficult is that to setup?
I have an old computer that I would love to use CF instead of a HD.
BTW great looking cab.
It's not bad at all. Most motherboards will view the CF card as a regular IDE hard drive without any changes whatsoever. The catch is that you do not want to write too often to a CF card, as they do have a finite lifespan. So, I set this one up to copy everything to a RAM disk on bootup so that it is not making writes to the card (just to RAM).

that sounds complicated not easy at all (Maybe I'm just slow). That is a nice cab I'm trying to build something like that at this moment for my dad, he loves PAC-Man. I have a cab I just need some Ideas of how to set it all up. If you can PM some more info on how you put it together, and of how the front end works that would rock.
Thanks.
Great Cab someone would should pick this deal up right away, have you tried Crags List.

I've gotten a lot of questions about the front-end, but it is definitely not for public consumption. It was written specifically for this cabinet, and isn't the least bit configurable. It was meant to be setup once, and never touched again. Basically, it is just a list of marquees that you scroll through to select a game. The marquee images are in a really obscure format because the front end is written in a very outdated old programming language. I used development tools from the 80's because I wanted it to look and feel like it was from the 80's.

Amazingly, this great game is still available. Here's one last shot at getting it out of my workspace. For only $575, you can have the fully working Super Pac-Man MAME cabinet, extra matched paint for touch ups, the nice little empty bartop cabinet, and Warriors of Might & Magic for the PS2. This is an absolute steal! It's worth more than that parted out.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, this cabinet has an AWESOME slideshow that it uses for a screensaver. It has pictures of more Pac-Man memorabilia, cabinets, and other Pac-Man related stuff than you can shake a stick at. You have to see it to believe it.

Last chance - $500 for the 100% working Super Pac-Man MAME cabinet.

hell of a deal here...is the bartop still available or is that still part of the package?

Yup, it's still available. I would take $50 for it if someone came and picked it up from my house (or met me somewhere around Richmond).
-
$500 sounds like a real deal to me. I'm amazed that no one has snagged it.

I guess Richmond is just not much of an arcade kind of town. I wish I had room in my house for it so I could just keep it myself. :'(
Is it the CompactFlash instead of a hard drive that's scaring people off? If so, I can put in a hard drive instead, if you'd prefer.
It's a seriously fun cabinet for someone who likes the classics (Ms. Pac, Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc). I actually prefer the joystick on this one to the T-stik Plus sticks I have on my other cabinet (the one I'm keeping).
