Title: 6 Button Fighter Wanted to buy in Illinois Please reply
Post by: snailmailhater on March 04, 2003, 02:08:56 am
Hi.  I live in Dekalb IL and have been looking for a 6 button fighter cabinet to turn into a mame machine for months now.  I already have mame set up in my friends' neogeo cabinet but I want a cabinet for myself.  I was supposed to go to an auction with my friend in Indianapolis this weekend, but when we hooked the lights of the rented trailer up to his truck, we blew his alternator.  The trip was scrapped.  I was wondering if anyone could help me find a nice 6 button jamma cabinet in Northern Illinois.  I am willing to spend in the $400-$500 range.  I would like the cabinet to be in pretty nice physical shape, but I am planning on repainting it.  Someone please help me.  Email snailmailhater@yahoo.com or reply to this post.  Thanks
-Keith

There's all kinds of arcades in Chicago (there was a thread on arcades in chicago not long ago).  You could probably call some of them up and ask them.

Hi.  Thanks for the help.  I am looking more towards purchasing a working cabinet from a private seller rather than an arcade.  Does anyone have any working six button cabs they are willing to sell?

YOU MUST TALK TO JIM!!! He has the best prices on this stuff. He is a MAME guy and should be of great help. He sells everything (controls ect.) VERY CHEAP! He can give you a cab SOOO cheap! I think his E-Mail is sheljk@attbi.com or something; if that dosn't work search this board (there have been posts about him in the past). He dosn't reply so quick I would try to find his phone #.

Anthony691 is right, Jim is your source.  I've dealt with him and been very happy with the deals.

His cell phone is: (224)619-6000  The email above is correct as well.

He lives in the Chicago Suburbs - Buffalo Grove....a lot closer to DeKalb than Indianapolis.

Good Luck.
