Title: Any experience or Red Rocket Retro? A UK based arcade shop with cabinet kits
Post by: Raitsa on May 22, 2007, 03:02:52 pm
Hey guys, any of you have any experience of Red Rocket Retro?
http://www.redrocketretro.co.uk/index_files/Page317.htm

They sell "anything from video games parts to full size MAME cabinets, and now, slate bed pool tables, fruit machines and so much more".

I am about to order a cabinet kit (Korrupt) from them, any feedback on the quality of the kits etc. anyone?

I have not had any experience but those prices sure seem steep to me.  Maybe it's just because the dollar is so weak right now.

I just cant seem to find a lot of shops who are willing to sell or ship kits to Finland, any good tips?  ;D

I have managed to get a friendīs company to handle the possible picking up & shipping the package from UK to me, the UK shipping companies were just too expensive.

you should try looking towards ebay in somewhere like germany to find cabs,i know its not next door but the shipping would be better,also what about russia

Thanks for the tips, I have checked the german and UK ebays every now & then, but havent really found anything i would have wanted to buy. The eastern option you mentioned i decide not to try ;)

Would love to hear more, but looks like not much experience of the RedRocketRetro available here.
I will proceed with them, and let u know how it goes.

An update of the status of my order:

The Mame cabinet kit i ordered from www.RedRocketRetro.co.uk is now safely in my garage, just arrived today.
The quality of the MDF-panels seem to be very good and the other, electronical etc parts were very well packed.

Now its time to get this thing built :)
