Title: Looking for a few excellent machines to demo at EDS in Las Vegas
Post by: gatordad on November 20, 2007, 09:49:36 pm: http://edsconnects.com/
Hi all, let me explain

My neighbor has been watching my progress with my Mame cab build and is impressed with how everything is coming together. He is a partner at an advertising company here in Chicago http://www.dhdchicago.com/ and is involved with the promotion of the Electronic Distribution Show coming up in May in Las Vegas.

The EDS is not a consumer show.... it is a manufacturers and distributor show for companies that make LEDs, boards, and other various new electronic components.

He thought it would be cool to have a few very blinged cabinets to have at the show for people to play. They are looking for 2 or 3 excellent examples of how some of today's technology is being retrofitted and Incorporated into some of your Mame cabs.

So if you a close to Vegas and would be interested in showing off your cab for a few days and making some easy money.

Please serious inquires only, PM me and I will forward his phone number along to you.

They may have what you are looking for, or know of someone local that has a nice machine.

Compensation was mentioned at $500.00. I don't know if that is firm or not.

Yeah, we talked about that whole issue before I posted, I explained the whole rom thing to him.

He's in advertising not law or copyright enforcement.

He feels that its more about the incorporation / fusion of old and new technology, and said that this is a really cool example of how hobbyists are using the latest technology.

You can bump all week long, but I would be surprised to see anyone sticking their necks out for the trouble.

And your trouble too while we discussing it. :laugh2:

Call these guys, they might rent you a machine for your booth:

Mountain Coin Machine Dist.
5675 S. Valley View
Las Vegas, NV 89118
Telephone: (702) 798-0900
Fax: (702) 798-8431

Tell them I sent ya.

$500 sounds right for a day or two.
