Title: Anyone build cabinets in the chicagoland area
Post by: thehammer12 on June 17, 2007, 09:20:08 pm

I am looking for someone who can build a cabinet for my game in the chicagoland area. I just dont have the time to do it myself or the patience. I am willing to pay.

Maybe give someone an idea of what you are looking for.   New cab?  2 player? 4 player? With or without computer and setup?  What type of monitor? If you don't exactly know what you want give an example of a cab that you like.

Are you asking because you think it's too much work to handle, or do you simply not have the resources?

As for limiting yourself to a small area, I'd bet that people around here would ship you a cabinet they've cut and you could assemble it and paint it yourself. Some guys around here charge a bare minimum for their efforts.

Also, if you are just looking to get a jumpstart, why not come up to the milwaukee superauction in Sep and grab a cabinet there?

Sorry for not being specific, I am looking for a new cab or if someone has a cab in good condition for my street fighter 2 which in its current state is shot to hell. I could get one made but I havent been able to find basic cabinet plans nor do I know anything about transferring it to a new cab. I am a noob I will admit it ha. If anyone has info let me know.


New cab or really good one
2 player
