Title: High quality CNC'd cocktail cabinets in the US?
Post by: GaryMcT on July 21, 2009, 06:46:17 pm: Anyone make 'em, especially with assembly left up to the buyer? I have a friend that wants to know. I know Franco's are awesome. . .looking for something like that but without the UK->US shipping. :)

I've got 100's of panels for kits, most have just minor chipping or scratches. If you are willing to come dig through them you are free to put together your own kit for free.

Lots of cocktail arcades, some controls (i.e. wood control panel boxes not actual controls) a few upright arcades as well.

E-mail support@dreamarcades.com or stop by 805 Reading St Unit B Folsom CA 95630. 10am to 4pm - one per customer

Whatever is left by Friday is getting thrown out.

Post by: DreamArcades on July 21, 2009, 07:48:25 pm: Besides the free panels we currently have we do some custom work as well. Our standard stuff is high quality, everything is 3/4 inch West coast board.

Have you guys done them for two player with a player on each side for horizontal orientation games (ie. Space Duel-style)? I think he is contemplating putting Space-Duel guts in a cocktail cabinet. I suspect there is a 19-inch vector monitor involved.

Thanks!

Post by: Keechwa on July 22, 2009, 12:54:43 am: I just ordered a cocktail cab from arcadedepot.com and it's very high quality work - they'll basically customize anything you'd like, you just have to ask them. They did some fan holes and custom control panels for me, really good work.

If you are referring to me I think you must have me mixed up with someone else. I'm a CNC machinist but I (sadly) don't have access to any wood cutting CNC tools (one day!! :))
