Welcome / Bienvenue !

I dunno about folks from La Belle Province, but there are a bunch of folks from Ontario and out west.

If you are looking to buy a cabinet, you may want to check the CGCC (Classic Game Collectors Of Canada??) CoinOp forum:

and the MAACA (Montreal Arcade & Amusement Collectors Association) forums:

Cheers.

I lived all over Quebec for about 2 years, what part are you from?  I just went back this past january for a vacation with my wife, it was a blast, I ate poutine every day (and I really miss it, wish we had it here in the states, I brought back some st. hubert gravy packets and use string cheese and fries, but of course, it's not the same).

You should check ebay (you can search within a specified distance from you).  I see stuff from Montreal on there all the time.

I'm in Quebec city.  I got my cab from a local amusement facility.  If you search around (maybe in the yellow pages for "amusement", you'll find some of these in your area.  As for Poutine, nobody beats Ashton for these ! (a local fast food chain).

There are quite a few Canadians in my experience, though I won't names names since my privacy policy precludes me from doing that.  :)

Yeah, Chez Ashtons is pretty good poutine, their cheese is great (very squeaky), but I don't think they have the best fries (they just have fast food fries like mcdonalds).

I actually really liked the poutine from le belle province, they had good fries and good gravy.  If you want quantity, Green Stop in Montreal has a nice big grosse poutine, but the largest has to be from le roy jucep (think it was in drummondville, stopped there on my way down from quebec city with my wife, it was called the Mega Poutine, they claim to be the inventor of Poutine, but I'm not sure about that).  It was like a turkey platter of poutine, it was good, but the sauce was maybe a little too sweet.  I just had to order it so I could say I tried, but I didn't even make a dent in it.

My wife thinks poutine is ok, but she's mostly addicted to the smoked meat sandwhiches (she keeps trying to find something similar here, and they have a smoked pastrami at a deli here that is close, but not quite).  I miss quebec.
