Title: WTB: Empty cabinet (Philadelphia PA)
Post by: thomascirca on October 20, 2009, 05:16:57 pm: I'd like to get an empty cabinet to make a MAME machine for a family member- he just moved into his first house. He mentioned he would like to get an arcade machine at some point, so I thought I'd suprise him since he's done so much for me. If anyone has any empty cabinets (doesn't really matter what) please let me know!

They're not far from Philly.

Yeah, they don't have any "traditional" ones left. The After Burners would be cool, but it's not really what I'm looking for. TNT Amusements is a great place though- I've gotten stuff from them a few times. I think I've put in close to $50 on their Tron machine- it's definitely a good place.

I'd get it, but I don't need another project.

Post by: Pinball Wizard on November 03, 2009, 08:33:45 pm: What style cabinet are you looking for? I have 40 games and I think 5 or 6 are literally empty cabinets. Standard Dynamo, 4 player sized, I have one European one that is really weird. I am sure I can make a deal.

@MrTroy- I'll think I'll pass on that APB machine
@Karetaker- I would love an NBA Jam cabinet- think you could hold it for 2 weeks?
@Pinball wizard- any chance you could provide pictures?

Post by: Karetaker on November 04, 2009, 11:00:54 am: Sure I can hold it for two weeks. I'm just really packed in here and need to move some things out.
