PM sent.  There's a few collectors I've met or talked with online on the newsgroups (don aka Arcadeguy is the most vocal.)  You could also probably take a run up to Toronto and hit the Starburst Auction.  That said, I also sent a PM with an offer.

Starburst is a good bet (let us know if you're coming up so I can say hi) ... also check the CoinOp forum on CGCC.CA (there are a bunch of folks in SW Ontario and at least one guy fromf Buffalo)  ... and there is a guy in Rochester who always seems to have stuff for sale (on RGVAM or eBay).

Cheers.

EDIT: Just checked and next auction is May 13 and I'll be up opening the cottage (and visiting my MAME cocktail) for the season, so won't be able to say hi.

I'm considering heading up to the auction in Toronto on Saturday May 13th.  I'd be looking for either a working cocktail cabinet, or possibly another 25" Jamma cabinet (similar to NBA Jam, with the large control panel) to get my Mame cabinet running.

Make sure to check the recent auction sheets to see what to expect:

Thanks.  I've seen the lists and prices.  Not too bad, but I'll go with a budget of something like $250 cdn.  I'm hoping that would be enough to get something that works.. 

edited:  I remember hearing that they won't charge PST and/or GST if you're from the US... is that still true?
