BYOACers helping BYOACers
Hoopz:
Helping each other is why we are here. If its a trust or for a cabinet, its all going to someone we can help have a slightly less awful day.
TopJimmyCooks:
We can easily help with a few bucks AND get him set up with something to play on - if he wants it. Any cash is obviously going to be a token amount compared with the needs, but definitely won't hurt.
As noted on the other thread, I can kick in parts I have, carpentry for something shippable like a cp box, etc.
FYI what I have: Ms pac man jamma bootleg board, couple of happ supers (black bat top) happ ms pac reunion (red balltop) red/blue/black buttons/switches probably 20 total. No interface but add in a $20 interface and that's a CP right there. couple sets of unused pc speakers-the cheap ones from RandyT. Couple of leaf buttons/switches bought but never used. I'd even put a box o crap on ebay and generate cash if that works better.
Thanks to Cheffo for his offer to organize and for his valuable life experience/advice. Jamma/xx in 1 could be a great way to make a stress free, solid cab.

This.
I can handle the cab aspect (dude asked for a white elephant and, dammit, he is going to get a white elephant ... the idea, however, was to make it turnkey) and any advice I can give wrt Autism. We probably want somebody more responsible to handle donations to the trust (At least I do).
In the past, we have had vendors donate a portion of sales to worthwhile arcade-friendly sites and deserving charities. In the event that a vendor should do something similar here, I would encourage everybody to stock up on parts for their next cab ... and the one after that.
I have power supplies, so we are covered there (thanks to the so-far anonymous good guy who offered one up), and have a call out to the local community for a donor cab and monitor, which is all I seem to be missing (and can probably come up with in a pinch).
EDIT: Thanks to saint for the stickum!
Turnarcades:
It's been a while since I checked in here but that's no excuse to distance myself or for tardiness. Being arcade builders of some rep now, even here in the UK I'm happy for us to help in any way we can. Parts, whatever, give me a list and I'll see what I can do.
CheffoJeffo:
I now have a line on a donor cab, so we may be good to go for my 48-in-1 idea.
If it turns out that Craig can't make use of it, we can always sell it to raise funds (although I would like to see him accept the cab, then get to finish his MAME cab at a suitable pace, at which point he can sell the 48-in-1 to raise additional funds).
:applaud: and :cheers:
EDIT: The local collector communities, both here and in London, are coming out with lots of support. One of the better xx-in-1 builders in SW Ontario is in London and has volunteered delivery, setup, support and repair services. A collector local to me is going to donate a cab from his shop and I have offers of sticks, buttons and harnesses from others. After being in a bit of a funk recently concerning this hobby, I am once again energized. Thanks everybody! Now get back to your fundraising!
