Hey guys, just trying to get some more ideas on where to find cabs. I love MAME, but am looking to build up my supply of actual cabs and restore them. I have checked the normal places like eBay, local newspaper, and craigslist. Are there any other places I should be checking? I have not yet checked with the yellow pages to see if there is a supplier nearby - I wasn't sure how cost effective that would be. I am certianly no millionaire :)
Thanks! :cheers:

Auctions would be the best place. Look to see if there any by you.http://superauctions.com/ (http://superauctions.com/)

Thanks, unfortunately I checked the auction sites and there are none close to me....Guess I'll just keep checking the paper and ebay... Thanks again. Cheers

You didn't post where you're located, so it's hard to tell you specific places to look other than what's already been suggested.

Bingo ... when I first started I couldn't find much except on eBay. I am fortunate enough to have auctions local to me every 6 weeks, but they are pretty week (usually a bunch of weak fighters and gun games, along with crap).
None of this compares to the connections with the local collecting community, where I have found the bulk of my classic projects.

Located in Hampton Roads, VA. If anyone has any leads that would be great. I am looking for keepers, not mamers. I don't mind picking up projects that need restoration, but ultimately I am looking for things that will work well in my game room and I am a huge fan of the classics! Thanks guys!
