What's the likelihood of anyone in my area having an empty cab they want to get rid of? Low I bet, but it can't hurt to ask.
All I need is an empty generic jamma cabinet in feasible shape. If it needs fixed up, that just gives me something to do.
I just bought an Aero Fighters PCB I'd like to put together a dedicated cab for, and I can't find any ads for cabinets around here unless I want a complete one for $500+
I'll take one with a monitor or not, and I'd prefer one with a CP that isn't trashed and at least not going to be brutal to repair. As long as it's workable, I'll take it!

I'll bet there are a couple, although people are more inclined to get rid of them in the spring, summer and fall.
There are a couple of collectors up your way (meaning Barrie, as opposed to Toronto or London), but they hang around CGCC CoinOp Forum (http://www.cgcc.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) and MAACA Forum (http://www.maaca.net) rather than here.
Also, there is the Playdium (formerly known as Starburst) Auction (https://www.theplaydiumstore.com/TournamentPage.aspx?Topic=Tournament) next weekend (January 24th) and you can see from the results lists (http://www.vidiot.ca/auction/) if we are talking within you desired price range.

Thanks, I'd love to hit that auction up but I'm not sure I'd be able to get anything back from there.
I only own a car, so it'd have to be 1 of a few friends in the area, and I'm not so sure they'd be willing to go all the way down there for me. Was hoping for something in the area that I know they would be willing to help me retrieve.

man i wanna go but thanks to exams i can't

Well, that certainly limits your options (the auction is right off of the 401 near the 400, so it's about as convenient as it gets) ... I only know of one BYOACer in Barrie and don't think he has any cabs sitting around.
I'm pretty sure there are a couple of guys from Barrie who post on CGCC and MAACA, but I have no idea if they have any cabs available.
Good luck!

I'd just buy one of the complete cabs in the area, there are a few for around $300-$350 in one classifieds I looked at, but the wife would bitchslap me!
I posted on the MAACA forums, hopefully something turns up there.
And wooowman93 the 24th is a Saturday, who has exams on a saturday? If you can go, then go! I would if I had a way to get something back here.

Just thought I'd note, I'm also willing to trade non arcade related items.
I have lots of console gaming stuff, computer hardware and other things. Just ask, could have what you're looking for.
Edit: I actually totally forgot, I DO have some arcade stuff I can offer. A working power supply (Have 2, only need 1), a bunch of Sanwa pink and green buttons, 2 Sanwa sticks and a Siemitsu stick.
