Thanks.

try over at www.cgcc.ca--its a bunch of local canadian collectors--you could likely find something--there is also www.maaca.org out of montreal.

And be sure to go to the Coin-Op Corner forum at cgcc.ca -- those guys often don't post in the other parts of the board (even when selling).

Cheers

Hijacking and domination are two different things ...

Hey BamBam.  I'm in Ottawa.

Regeant Coin Op is on Woodward.  One stop light south of the Queen's Way on Maitland.  I got my free coin door there.  I showed up, asked if they sold anything used, and they said no but they were throwing out an old Daytona USA driver out back and I could take whatever I wanted off of it.

Also check out http://www.arcade4all.com/phpBB2/

A lot of those guys are around Ottawa/Montreal.  I nearly bought a used mame cab off of one guy a used arknoid off another guy in Aylmer.  I ended up building my own.

Try emailing Rick aka HIGHSPEED at arcade4all.

He is a big collector. Often has used cabs.

I've got one that I'm getting rid of...

It's an old Taito, the type used for Elevator Action. 

pm me if you are interested, I'll send you a couple of pics.
